Hi,
I'm going to be purchasing a new processor for the build I'm assembling. I have an AB350 Pro4 with a bios rev. sticker that reads P4.60 attached to it. I've searched up and down numerous boards to find out whether or not the Ryzen 5 2600 is compatible with the AB350 Pro4 but haven't found any definitive answers -- some say yes, some say no, others have no idea and just suggest I go with the 1600 instead. My question, of course, is: does the AB350 Pro4 support the Ryzen 5 2600? If so, which bios version? Is 4.60 up to date enough for it to work? I'm rather worried about getting my processor and not being able to boot in the first time I put everything together, and the headache of requesting a bootkit from AMD I feel will take a lot more time than necessary. It's worth mentioning that I bought my AB350 a literal day before the 2600 was pushed to online outlets. Thank you for any and all help! |

According to the ASRock website, the 2600 is compatible with your board but requires BIOS version P4.70 as a minimum.
Here's the direct link to the ASRock page: http://www.asrock.com/mb/AMD/AB350%20Pro4/index.us.asp#CPU |

TooQik is correct.
Prior to removing your current processor you will want to flash to 4.70 and let it boot twice with 4.70 before putting that 2600 on/in. Since your board is already at 4.60 you can skip worrying of those Bridge BIOS warnings and simply flash to 4.70. |

Okay. Thank you both for the help -- I'm now a proud owner of an R5 1600 :). Couldn't opt to go with the headache of requesting a bootkit and don't have the money for an APU. Thanks again.

No worries!
Good luck with your build. I'm sure you'll be more than happy with your 1600. |

Double check the BIOS upgrade you did. Maybe you difn't flashed to the Bridge BIOS first and then to a newer. Flashing from and and old to the last ver without flashing the bridge bios may your issue, but it's hard to know due there is no information about things regarding.
