Ryzen 3100 + 3300x question

[Minibiker]

Hi all

Will these two newer CPUs work on any B450 boards or are they like all Ryzen 3000 series and only work out the box on MSI B450 Max boards?

Cheers

I would imagen like all other 3000 series CPUs that they would require a bios update to work.

I did think that but thought I'd check with you lot.. Cheers bud

Some boards allow BIOS updating from USB without a CPU such as MSI's Tomahawk.

Ohh I may look into this, could be an option for a little budget build

Those 2 chips are supported on the max boards out of the box, no flashing required, although the max range of boards also have bios flashback: https://www.msi.com/Motherboard/support/B450-TOMAHAWK-MAX#support-cpu

Thats just the Tomahawk max as an example, v30 was first release bios for that board.

Thanks bud, Tempted to get the 3100 for £95.. Decent 1080p gaming CPU i reckon
