Ryzen APUs

Hi,
I'm planning on getting the ryzen 3 2200G but after reading some articles, it seems that the b350 motherboards need a bios update for the APUs to work. AMD is also offering a "boot kit," so that you'll be able to update the bios using another CPU. What I want to know is what motherboards (brand, model, etc) will i not have to do the bios update. i know when the first batch was sent to tech youtubers, and most of them seemed to be using a mini-itx board. So is there any full size ATX motherboards, that won't require a bios update for the APUs to work?

 

thanks

If you're buying from a local store, the boxes should say if they are compatible or not.

I think most stores will also update the BIOS for you at no charge.

 

If you're buying online, you'll have to see if the description states that it's been updated or not.

They should be coming when Ryzen 2 launches, although the APUs have been out long enough that pretty much any board on the shelf should ship with a supported BIOS.

If you're buying the board new from any major seller, Amazon, Newegg, Micro Center, it will come ready to go. Most all have the latest bios now.

In actual stores it should have a sticker with Ryzen 2000 ready. Online, just make sure the listing says the b350 board is updated. Most brick and mortar stores can fix it for you, but by now I think most stock is 2000 ready. Any reason for not grabbing a 2400?

That is fair. I forget not everyone does what I do, have a budget of $500 and end up spending triple the price cuz something was shiny
