B450-A Pro Ryzen 3rd Gen Compatibility

[TheProduca]

Hey guys,

 

this is my first post ever so I hope I'm doing everything right

I only have one question that I haven't been able to figure out yet, so I hope some of you can help me through this.

 

I currently own a MSI B450-A Pro Motherboard and a Ryzen 5 2400g, paired with a RX 570 (soon to be replaced by a GTX 1070) but that's not really of importance.

Now I plan to upgrade my CPU since it's only a 4 core processor and it's not up to snuff with the games and tasks that I perform. So I laid my eyes on the AMD Ryzen 7 5800X which is a 3rd Gen Zen CPU, which originally wasn't made for the B450 Mainboards. When AMD decided to still support the B450's a lot of BIOS Updates were rolling out to support the new Zen technology, but my mainboard was left in the dust back then.

 

So here's the thing: MSI rolled out another BIOS update for my Mainboard (released 2022-01-26) which now includes AMD ComboAm4v2PI 1.2.0.5. Does that mean that it now supports Gen 3?

The version beforehand was AMD AGESA ComboAm4PI 1.0.0.6 which to my knowledge didn't support it. And because I have limited knowledge about what this means I come to you for advice. I would really appreciate the help :)

 

This is my current Motherboard that I'm talking about: https://de.msi.com/Motherboard/B450-A-PRO

 

Thanks in advance and I hope you have a great week! :D

Hey Mark, thanks for the fast reply!

 

The link you sent me was for the B450-A Pro Max which is another version of my motherboard, but I looked up the Non-Max version and it seems to be compatible as well, which is great news! If anyone could confirm this again, that would be nice. I'm really afraid of buying a new CPU and it not working ^^'

The MSI webpage provides the official support list for their motherboards. Here's their info:

https://www.msi.com/Motherboard/B450-A-PRO/support#support-main-block-qvl

It lists each individual compatible CPU as well as the minimum BIOS version required for that CPU. On this list, you can even see that the motherboard is compatible with Ryzen 5000 series processors.

Thank you so much! I just wasn't able to find such a list on my own but now I can have peace of mind and enjoy my new Setup in a couple of weeks

I wish you all a great week! Thanks for all the replies and help
