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.

Updayed to p4.7 from 4.6 on a fatal1ty b350 gaming k4 experiencing bus clock instability pf 4 to 5 mhz and game instability. Think this bios might have a problem.

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.

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 -.-"

Question about flashing: If I'm already at 4.50 do I need to do the bridge flash also before flashing to the latest BIOS?


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?

Yes, it is. The latest version is always the recommended version unless you happen to experience problems with it. However, there have been a lot of updates recently and they've really been about adding support for 2000-series processors so if you are not experiencing any particular problems with your current BIOS you may not feel the need to update.

Which BIOS is recommended for the 1st Generation Ryzen on the AsRock AB350M Pro4?

Should 1st Generation Ryzen users upgrade to these latest BIOS or should we stick with the Bridge BIOS (3.40 in my case)

MoBo: AB350 gaming Mini itx
BIOS: from 4.40 to 4.50

Now MoBo is useless and need to RMA... DO NOT FLASH if your build is working.
