So I'm thinking about getting the X370 KILLER SLI/ac motherboard with a ryzen 3 2200G apu but I don't know if I will have to update bios before I can use the apu. also I don't have anyother cpu's/apu's I could boot with so if I did need to update bios I was wondering if I could do it with no cpu/apu installed. This is also my first pc build so my experience is lacking and it would be helpful if you dummed the computer language down for me a bit .

If the BIOs is pre 4.50 you will need a cpu to flash the bios to support the new apus.

You can get a free upgrade kit from amd if the one you buy has the older bios, which is likely.

most motherboards sat on the shelf at present will not have late enough bios

best option may be to go direct to an old school pc shop and pay the extra few bucks for them to flash the bios for you before selling you the board

support.amd.com/en-us/kb-articles/Pages/2Gen-Ryzen-AM4-System-Bootup.aspx

If the link doesn't work, I just searched "AMD bios kit" and it was the first hit.
This damn site keeps adding %20 to the end of the URL!
