Compatibility issues

Will my MSI A320M-A Pro mobo support a Ryzen 5600x? If so how do I update the bios without flashback and what version do i need to install, what do I do after updating bios? Take my current cpu out then put new on in?

I’m upgrading CPU but I’ve done some research and it says i need to update my bios and it should work, my mobo doesn’t support flashback so if i install zip extract it then download bios update do i take out the current cpu afterwards then put 5600x in? Please help me.

You would update the bios with your current cpu. After you have confirmed it has updated (Check in bios) then you would install the 5600X.

 

The bios version that supports the 5600X is listed as 'Beta' so I personally wouldn't use it yet, as you don't know how stable it is.

Why not just try it out and get another board if it dosen't work out? @Owrw

I've have updated the bios and I will install the 5600x soon, "Beta" is quite vague and it wouldnt be posted if its going to be that unstable.

I guess you will find out. Hopefully you won't have any issues.

What’s the worst that will happen? Display doesn’t pop up? I’ve got a Tomahawk MAX ii in case of the worst…

Hard to say. With it being beta it just means it hasn't been fully tested, so it could be buggy/unstable etc. If you have a Tomahawk I would just use that, as it is a much better board and it has bios flashback as well. The bios for the 5600X is also a full release.

The tomahawk is from a friend for £45 so I will buy it if my board isn’t capable

The tomahawk is from a friend for £45 so I will buy it if my board isn’t capable, I already updated the bios and the pc is fine so far, so lets hope it will be fine when I put the cpu in.

That new or 2nd hand ? I probably wouldn't pay more than £35 if used and little to no warranty. The Tomahawk is currently £70 an Amazon, but I am pretty sure I have seen it, and boards like the B450 Mortar Max closer to £60.
