 Topic: new CPU requires new BIOSPosted: 08 Sep 2022 at 10:00pm |

I have an AMD Ryzen 5 2600 CPU and an ASRock B450M Pro4 motherboard. I've upgrade the BIOS as far as I can with this CPU (v. 3.50).
I am thinking of upgrading to a Ryzen 7 5700(G or X) so I think I need to upgrade the BIOS. My question is will the computer boot to the BIOS settings screen with the old CPU? 1. *I* want to upgrade the BIOS with the old CPU. 2. Take the computer in to a store to get the CPU upgraded. |

Thanks. :-)
It says ASRock don't recommend upgrading the BIOS to that version with my CPU so that caused worry. |

*ASRock do NOT recommend updating this BIOS if you are going to use Pinnacle, Raven or Summit Ridge CPU on your system.
