Hello, I have a B350 Pro4 with a Ryzen 5 1400 that I am looking to swap with the 3300X once it launches in a couple of weeks. Is there any indication that the latest BIOS (6.30) won't work with the new chips? I know AsRock has been pretty good with updating the older 3xx series boards so not sure if I should wait for a new BIOS to come through or if the current will work. Thanks! -------------

theres a good chance you will get a boot with a 3300x and the latest ryzen 3000 cpu's bios but i wouldnt say 100% certain my 'guesstimate' is based on the current bios seeing the ryzen 3000. as a 3000........ whether it reconises it correctly as a 4 core 3300x i dont know i would say my best advice before buying one is to wait for either reports the 3300x works on current bios FOR YOUR BOARD , or for asrock to make a note in bios files 'added support' ------------- [url=https://valid.x86.fr/jpg250]  [/url]3800X, powercolor reddevil vega64, gskill tridentz3866, taichix370, evga750watt gold |

In terms of updating the BIOS, my understanding is that I will keep my R5 1400 in the system, update to 5.4 bridge, and then 6.30 and then swap CPUs? -------------

Yes, you only put in the new CPU after you have the BIOS fully updated using the 1400. Don't forget to clear CMOS with the clear CMOS jumper before you flash and again before you power on for the first time with the 3300x. It will save you headaches. -------------

1400 in board RESET BIOS TO DEFAULTS (this is important) personally i prefer just one stick of ram in slot a2 (to minimise chance of bad data block) then version 3.40 bridge (if your lower version at the moment) then version 5.40 another bridge then version 6.30 after a flash always ideal to boot to bios save and exit then reboot to bios for flashing next step when you have 6,30 shut down pc and fit the 3000 series test boot to bios save and exit fit 2 nd ram stick boot to bios , save and exit let it boot windows ,and close down THEN set the ram xmp etc in bios ------------- [url=https://valid.x86.fr/jpg250] [/url]3800X, powercolor reddevil vega64, gskill tridentz3866, taichix370, evga750watt gold |
