Just tested it. No beeps, and nothing on screen.

Guess I'll wait for the 3300x.]]> Fri, 08 May 2020 11:04:06 +0000 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=14307&PID=75195&title=reusing-an-old-b350-board#75195 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=14307&PID=75166&title=reusing-an-old-b350-board#75166 Author: datonyb

no

.........next .................


ok a more detailed answer

all boards with am4 are advising not to flash to later bios with older cpus

reasons ???????

firstly the amount of mistake and failures when bios flashing makes it good advice NOT to upgrade bios if you dont actually need too

secondly theres mutterings of slightly less performance and optimisation using first gen with 3rd gen bios


your issue ?

forget it , fit the 1600x it will work on the later bios
will be it be 2% slower at program xxx??? maybe who cares
you have a board and cpu collecting dust .........use it !]]> Thu, 07 May 2020 22:14:42 +0000 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=14307&PID=75166&title=reusing-an-old-b350-board#75166 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=14307&PID=75146&title=reusing-an-old-b350-board#75146 Author: FortyFour

I had a 1600x and an ab350 fatality mobo. Upgraded to a 3700x, which meant I had to update the bios. Recently I upgraded to a x570 extreme4 mobo. I tried rolling back the ab350 to version 5.4/5.7, but it just kept saying it can't be used. I gave up and just moved the cpu to the new board.

Now my question is, is this board just incompatible with my 1600x now?
