Hey thanks a lot! I am quite new in pc building. Well the last pc I build was like 6 years ago and my friend picked the part for me. First time picking a part myself so I don't really know about how I should check my bios version without turning on the computer.

I haven't built my new pc until today because I don't want to reassemble it in case the bios was not compatible with my CPU and the store that I bought the Motherboard from is currently having a long holiday.

I honestly thought that every motherboard is shipped with the base non updated version of the bios. Haha. Upon you posting this reply I checked my bios chip and there is P4.2 written there. According to the website 4.2 should be the latest BIOS version of the board. So I should be good to go! Thanks a bunch!]]> Tue, 11 May 2021 23:36:59 +0000 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=18798&PID=87017&title=updating-asrock-b450-pro4-bios-without-cpu#87017 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=18798&PID=87013&title=updating-asrock-b450-pro4-bios-without-cpu#87013 Author: datonyb

my b450m pro4 shipped with bios 3.9 installed

why do you think yours has an earlier bios ?

there should be a small sticker on ther actual boards bios chip stating what version it was shipped with ]]> Tue, 11 May 2021 23:18:15 +0000 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=18798&PID=87013&title=updating-asrock-b450-pro4-bios-without-cpu#87013 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=18798&PID=86958&title=updating-asrock-b450-pro4-bios-without-cpu#86958 Author: kato1995

Is it possible to update the bios of this particular motherboard without any compatible CPU? I read that it can be updated from flash drive, but I don't know whether I can do it without any compatible CPU. I only have a ryzen 5 3600 and I see on the motherboard page that the support for ryzen 5 3600 starts at version P3.20. So that means I have to update the bios right?]]> Sun, 09 May 2021 15:51:29 +0000 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=18798&PID=86958&title=updating-asrock-b450-pro4-bios-without-cpu#86958
