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. ------------- ASRock B450M Pro4 16 GB DDR4, 500 watt PS, AMD Ryzen-5 5600, NVidia GTX-1050, 5.70 BIOS |
*ASRock do NOT recommend updating this BIOS if you are going to use Pinnacle, Raven or Summit Ridge CPU on your system.Replies:

Thanks. :-) It says ASRock don't recommend upgrading the BIOS to that version with my CPU so that caused worry. ------------- ASRock B450M Pro4 16 GB DDR4, 500 watt PS, AMD Ryzen-5 5600, NVidia GTX-1050, 5.70 BIOS |
