MSI B350 with Ryzen 5 2600

[Pieter371]

Hi Guys,

 

I have looked at the Forums but did not find any yet. I have bought and MSI B350 Tomahawk Plus motherboard, I am planning to buy the Ryzen 5 2600 CPU. I saw on MSI's website that the motherboard support both the 1gen and 2gen. But I heard rumors that I need a BIOS Update in order for it to work. I do not want to waste my money and it is not working. 

 

Do someone have the same build or know if it is going to work 100% otherwise I need to look at another 1gen Ryzen.

 

If you need any info about this please let me know.

 

Thanks in advance.

Pieter.

It doesn't have an bios flashing button unlike the b450 tomahawk, so if it has the first bios you are screwed.

Did you buy it used or from a store?

Unfortunately, I bought it second hand.

I do not plan on gaming too much, and if it is gaming it would be only CS or Battlefield 4. 

Most of my time I would use it for work and run VM's. I think I am just going to play safe and get the Ryzen 7 1700. It is around the same price point.

 

Thank you for all of the help.
