Bought for a Ryzen 3600. Need to flash bios (no current AMD chip other than the new 3600) so was going to use the usb method and bios flash button. The MSI website and the manual say this is possible but it does not specify anywhere which of the USB ports is the bios flash port and although it mentions to press the bios flash button there is no mention anywhere of where that actually is either. Anyone ever used this method to flash the bios on this board?

Yep no Bios Flash Button on this board,
Pick up this
https://www.overclockers.co.uk/amd-...hz-socket-am4-processor-retail-cp-3b0-am.html to flash it & sale it on
Otherwise you need to find someone to do the flashing for you.
