motherboard question

[pappamike]

going to do a new build,need 570x mb that comes with proper bios to run Ryzen 5 5600g so i do not have to upgrade bios

[Mister Woof]

most will have it by now unless its old stock, if in person check to see if it has a ryzen 5000 ready sticker on it, or ask the vendor

thanx

If you buy online I'd recommend looking for a retailer you could return without problems. If it won't work you will always have the option to return.

Still, most boards would probably be updated out of the box so you shouldn't really worry.

reason I'm going with 5600g is because of gpu prices im ,not a gamer. Have built two pcs last year for 2 grandsons using Asus 570e mb with Ryzen 9 cpus ,had no problems whatsoever.

I'm assuming you're afraid of getting all the gear home and not being able to POST because your board doesn't have the latest support for the 5000 series CPUs?  If so, depending on budget, get a board with a BIOS flashback option. Then worst case Ontario, you just use the flashback option to update to the latest BIOS.

I understand how to do all what is needed to do that, just don't want to go thru all that, rather get a mb that is ready to go. Some folks also say I don't need cpu installed to do the Bios flashback,  just buy all components then go thru AMD for a loaner cpu,,install it, get the needed bios off manufactures web site, install it boot up, shut down ,install 5600g and SHOULD be ok.  Retail sellers probably wont tell me if the mb I want is Ryzen 5 5600g ready. I Hate going to Best buy for anything , but we have no other sellers in town. I want to stay with Asus or Asrock motherboards, have had bad luck with Msi over the years. I started building computers in 1988 and know how to do it, I had good luck with Biostar motherboards years ago, current old system which I put together years ago is running Amd 965 black cpu, runs fine, solid, but is getting quite old and tired. Getting bored, going to build new! buy most components from Newegg.

That's correct, if you get a board with the BIOS flashback option, you just need to pop in a USB stick with the proper BIOS file and you're off to the races.

You and me both. I have ranted about why I won't touch MSI in the past. I think I hurt some feelings with that post.

Ryzen 5000 ready could refer to the non APUs. Still a good idea to pick a board with BIOS flashback just in case

[pappamike]

That's what I was thinking, I might as well go the flash back route. Getting ready to order components, got to decide Asrock or Asus 570x motherboard.
