How can I check if the bios upgrade is done correctly? And would it be worth just taking it to a tech guy to be certain

does the pc work with your old cpu? if it does then you can check the bios version in bios

this board have 5800x support from day 1

no it didn't
the board was released with bios 30 (2019)
only in bios 3A was the 5800x supported (2021)

why did they only just add support a year after cpu was released? its a bit strange.
but your right the b450 was AMD 3000 ready not 5000

they probably had launch day beta bioses that are no longer available to view on the website
and it wasn't a year
3A final released feb 2021, 5800x released nov/dec 2020

I did this same upgrade on the same board, although to the X3D version. I can't remember specifically what the issue was but I remember having a similar problem where the new chip wouldn't work even after updating the BIOS. Try to keep playing with it, update the BIOS again, try different versions, reset CMOS etc.

Afaik, some of the oldest stock b450/x470 don't even have 3000 support

Oh so is it a bit of a problem with the compatability of the motherboard then? Would I just find a youtube video for resetting CMOS?

what method did you use to flash the bios? Did you download it using MSI Center or did you download it to USB, extract it and then update the BIOS by rebooting and going into the bios update facility in the BIOS itself? I've never got the MSI Center method to work so always do it via USB and BIOS utility. if you go into your BIOS though it should show you there what version you have installed?

Just checked it there, it is the right version. However the website release date, text file date, and bios build date are all different.

I used the USB with M-Flash and it is saying the bios version is correct

the CPU box was sealed right?

just remove the button cell battery from the motherboard for a few minutes.

Yes, fully sealed, all pins are straight and none missing

no idea why, but it's normal for them to be slightly different (same for my msi b650 board too lol)

id report it and request a replacement, you have time to post it before you leave and new one would be waiting for you when you get back

also pulling a stick of ram can for the board to recheck.

Sounds like a good idea, I think that might be best

There is a jbat jumper next to the bios battery this resets the cmos, download the manual it shows how to reset the CMOS

I prefer to wait 15 mins go make a cup tea and drink it

Makes sure you've unplugged the PSU from the wall
