x470 Taichi + Ryzen 5000 CPU's

99% of the time that is all you need to do but that is not a full CMOS clear.
When you have an RTC problem and a few other rare issues a more drastic clear is
needed. Someone will always think they know better. The only time I suggest pulling
the battery and disconnecting power etc is when a standard clear didn't help. If
you look through the threads here you will see that the more comprehensive clear
has done the trick for a lot of people.

Clearing CMOS as described in my sticky thread won't hurt anything and is a way
to ensure there are no gremlins that didn't clear with the quick method.

Also, bare in mind that the people who post here have tech skill levels ranging
from abysmal to expert. The method I recommend ensures that there is a very high
chance they cleared CMOS even if they missed a step or accidentally shorted the
wrong pins etc. We help anyone regardless of skill level and understanding.

Hello everyone!
I want to install Ryzen 5 5600X in X470 Taichi.
What version of Bios do you recommend for this: 4.60 or 4.70?

Unless the instructions on your product page explicitly mention updating to a
bridge BIOS first you can just update directly to the latest one.

In your case:

1. Support new Athlon 2xxGE series APU.
2. Update AMD AGESA to 0.0.7.2

* Please install "AMD all in 1 with VGA driver ver:18.50.16.01_WHQL" or a later version before updating to this BIOS.
** If you updated the BIOS before updating the AMD all in one driver, please refer to the Display recovery SOP to recover your system.
*** If the current BIOS version is older than P2.00, please update BIOS to P2.00(PinnaclePI-AM4_1.0.0.6) before updating this version.
**** User will not able to flash previous BIOS once upgrading to this BIOS version.

So if your BIOS version is pre 2.00 then you will have to update to 2.00 first,
reboot, clear CMOS, reboot again then update to the version you are aiming for.
If your BIOS is newer than 2.00 then you should be able to just update to 4.70.

I always recommend clearing CMOS or restoring factory defaults from within the
UEFI and rebooting before updating to a new BIOS version. It helps prevent bad
flashes/corruption.

Hello, I am looking to purchase the 5950x for my x470 taichi ultimate. Are you having success with the mobo and cpu combination? Is the 4.70 bios still working for you?

Before 5800x I had 2700 (non X) so I was very surprised seeing this temperatures.

I already started to search AIO 360mm but maybe for now I will stay with my air cooler.

Thanks for reply.
