AMD is looking at adding Ryzen 5000 series support for B350/X370 motherboards!

I'm glad they are extending support, might get one of the cheaper new CPUs and stick it in an old X370 board i still have around.
 
All MSI 500, 400 and 300 series motherboards will support the latest Ryzen 5000 & 4000 processors with AMD AGESA COMBO PI V2 1.2.0.6c BIOS.

There's a Beta BIOS available for my ASUS B350 board.

PRIME B350M-A BIOS 6026
Update AMD AM4 AGESA V2 PI 1.2.0.6b.

Tempted to buy a Ryzen 5 series now, but all the benches I've seen suggest it would be totally wasted on me.

would you be looking at a 5600 or higher?
If only a 5600 it’s pointless. If higher and you can use the extra cores then go for it.
 
On the other over clocking forum people are running 5950x on the CH6 with great results, apparently memory working XMP speeds too, will be nice as I have to manually tune mine to get 3600 on my 1700 and current BIOS.
 
Was just about to add a 5950x to my basket and see that OCUK have just stopped the sale the on the 5900 and 5950, was there couple hours earlier.

Sod that I will get it elsewhere.
 
Just flashed a CH6, but had to recover it with a programmer as it failed. It's working with the new BIOS done via the programmer, no idea why it failed to flash though. Currently testing it with a 5800x, its not my system but it seems stable so far, going to run in in for a while, then give it a few on/off periods to make sure the BIOS doesn't flake out again.
 
just seen a new bios on the asus x370 prime pro page to support ryzen 5000, sod all info on if i need newer than a 1st gen ryzen to run the bios before slapping a 5000 chip in. sigh.....

Lol, great, so anything from a R3 1200, 2200G, or up to an R7 1800X. I was asking out of curiosity, as any CPU will let you flash the BIOS, just wondering what they were coming from. ;)

But not any cpu will complete the bios flash. On a few boards before the max ones they removed first gen support to make rum for the new chips on the bios rom. That’s the point he was making
And if that’s the case no matter if he as a 1200 or 1800 he would have a problem

I do however think he could flash the bios then swap the cpu and that would work… but it’s a risk. Some boards need to reset 2 or 3 times to complete the bios flash and if gen one support was removed he could brick the board
