Updating BIOS on x300tm-itx motherboard

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   Hello,
I would like to run a PC with a Ryzen 5 5650GE processor in my x300tm-itx motherboard. However, I see that it needs BIOS 1.20. 

I bought my motherboard a couple of years ago and am just now  getting to building my PC. 

Do I need to get an older processor in order to upgrade the BIOS? I could get an Ryzen 3 2200G. It's 30 bucks and fits the AM4 slot. But I would rather not have to buy a processor just to do a BIOS upgrade. 

Thanks.

	According to: https://www.asrock.com/MB/AMD/X300TM-ITX/index.asp#BIOS 1.20 is the only BIOS ever released for that board. So "All" and "1.20" must be the same thing.
