Purchased a 5600G to upgrade my daily system. Currently run a 2400G on BIOS ver 3.30, but need to upgrade to Ver 4.40 (min) to support Cezanne based 5600G
Unfortunately, the 4.40 BIOS has the dreaded "ASRock do NOT recommend updating this BIOS if Pinnacle, Raven or Summit Ridge CPU is being used on your system." warning, which of course, still makes no real sense.... So, can I NOT run a BIOS update to 4.40 with the 2400G Raven Ridge CPU? If I put the 5600G in, the CPU won't be recognized with the older BIOS, so what in the world should I do? The CPU support list clearly states that the 5600G is supported, but it appears like there's no real way to actually enable that support? The BIOS warning is fairly nonsensical, and many of us have questioned what it actually means. If it will cause the board to be bricked, the why do the motherboard vendors do the BIOS updates at all. Serious chicken and egg stuff.... |

As far as I am aware 4.40 should not remove support for your 2600g. The warning
is only there to deter people from pointlessly updating when the update provides no benefit to their (older) CPU. In your particular case, you are updating to support a new CPU generation, this is the correct/only way to do so. Good luck and be sure to clear CMOS and reboot the system before doing the update this will help prevent a bad flash. |
