Ryzen 4000 - X370 Support?

Besides that, X470 is similar to X370. Sooooooo.....

its not as simple as that

asrock cannot invent agesa

they need agesa from amd to then edit it to suit the mainboard in question

amd at first didnt want to release x470 agesa, but bowed under pressure to help manufactuers support the x470/450
(one quoted was MSI whose advertising promised *future* am4 cpus for the MAX series)

the agesa code is different from x370 to x470 (you realise in a 16mb block of your bios chip there are TWO DIFFERENT agesa for 3xx and 4xx cpus ? ), and amd will not release x370 agesa to board makers

this has been covered quite deeply by many of the tech press
one to mention is gamers nexus
who have made a very long and detailed video covering this issue

now if YOU think you know better than
AMD
BOARD MAKERS
THE ACTUAL BIOS FILE CODERS

who were all asked and consulted for that very video
then i eagerly await you to post a link to your very own agesa you have written from scratch for the x370

yes i know board partners have in the past tweaked some nifty code into bios ( phenom core unlockers / fsb overclocking for non overclocking intel cpus etc etc )
but amd specifiaclly locking out a320/b350/x370 in the agesa for ryzen 4000 would be very hard for a board maker to get past , also note if AMD state its not to be done a board partner would be pretty foolish to do it ,to support a board that is 3 years out of date just to keep you happy


so to sum up

your wrong asrock WONT have agesa (microcode) for x370

And look at X570 Phantom X, CPU power supply socket is 8+4, more than x370 Taichi.

Heatsink is so much bigger than x370 taichi.

I recently touch the x370 taichi VRM heatsinks during idling, web browsing, youtube, etc, no gaming. VRM heatsink is HOTTTTTTTT, it's saturating.

Yes, lets voice our loyalty and encourage ASRock to do the same for loyal fans !!!

your in the same boat as me
x370 taichi

for us it looks like amd WILL NOT support x370
even with our large bios chips
this is amd not asrocks decision

the only option i can see would be

AND THIS IS VERY CHANCEY/UNADVISED

but there is a way to flash x470 taichi bios to the x370

alas i cannot tell you how to do this on this forum
AND I WILL NOT TELL PEOPLE IN PRIVATE EITHER

SO DO NOT ! SEND ME A REQUEST PRIVATELY


if you want to chance breaking your board go and find the information yourself on google , and dont blame me if it goes wrong
