Without knowing just which motherboard you are referring to, I cannot answer.


Is the new update compatible with first generation Ryzen? What BIOS version is recommended for first generation Ryzen CPUs?

Is there any hope to get a bios update before march 28?

If the wifi bsods won't be solved until that date I'll have to return the board and get one from MSI -.-"

Meh. Does it have this +/- instability while running at stock values?

You DO have quite the OC/voltages with that OC.

I ask that as the clock on new MB's are damn stable. I'm assuming you have Disabled all C states.

4-5 Mhz. Most programs will fluctuate this on a stable system. It's inherent of SW monitoring.

What aux fan do you have keeping the VRMs cool? Again I ask as I also assume you are water cooling at the voltage req'd to hit that OC.

In that case the short answer is "no". The longer answer is that the bridge BIOS was needed to prepare your board to take the BIOS that supports the 2000 series processors. Therefore, since it has that sticker it is already past the point of needing the bridge. Just update from 4.50 to 4.70.

Thanks JohnM. Will be a couple of weeks before I get all the parts for the build and this forum has been a godsend with information. I've been building AMD rigs for a long time but this is the first new build in 7 years.
