" rel="nofollow - 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" rel="nofollow - 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.

| " rel="nofollow - I have just completed a build with the R5 2600 and asrock AB350M Pro4. Have flashed the BIOS to 4.7 and now when installing the R5 CPU the system won't boot at all. Do will I need to pop the A6 CPU back in and boot it several times before putting the R5 back in? |

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.

I just got a R5 2600 for Christmas and put it in my pc. It didn?™t do anything. I looked it up then found out about BIOS updates did those and the bridge 3.4 tried to boot with BIOS ver 5.5 didn?™t work. Took it to 4.7 minimum require for R5 2600 and still didn?™t boot. I need help.
