You will need to update the BIOS, so if you don't have an existing AM4 socket CPU, make sure you get a mobo that can flash without CPU.
Thanks, either one of those mobos will do it I think - from the quick research I have done sas I don’t have a AM4 chip.

Save one for me please! I'll be putting my order in on the 5th for sure!

EDIT at £450 to £530 for the 8 and 12 core respectively I think I might just go straight for the 12 core 5900x.

Unless the latency becomes a signifcant factor, seems like a cheap additional 4 cores.

Thanks m8 for your help i was wondering and the internet didnt answer my question XD

Could you link me to a good one that you recommend


Make sure to buy a motherboard that allows flashing without a cpu. Or you may find you need a older cpu to flash it before you can use the 5000 series. Look for ones that have a Flashback feature or whatever the manufacturer calls it.


OR make sure the motherboard is already flashed for the 5000 series.
