With the launch of AMG new Ryzen processor, the motherboard BIOS upgrade is a must, want to directly upgrade the Ryzen™ 7 5800X3D and the Ryzen™ 5000, Ryzen™ 4000 "little brother" who went out together, don't forget to upgrade the motherboard BIOS first and then please return to these small partners, otherwise installing a new U is not good at all, you can only find a way to not start the BIOS or then toss back to the old CPU, the trouble is dead.
In fact, this upgrade also brought several surprises, not ready to be on the new processor of the small partner should also pay attention to, such as some small partners upgraded the BIOS released at the beginning of the year, it is likely to encounter the microcode with bugs mentioned in our previous push, the new BIOS microcode of course also upgraded, just to solve the problem.
Bigger surprises are still behind, yesterday's push mentioned that the new batch of Ryzen2 core Ryzen 4000, one of their major advantages is that they can use the older motherboard, indicating that AMD is concerned about upgrading compatibility, plus the 300 series motherboard has been allowed to support Ryzen 5000 before. So some manufacturers have taken advantage of this upgrade to meet everyone's needs, after the upgrade to support the latest Ryzen 7 5800X3D, replacing the "old" Ryzen™ 5000 that has long been listed is of course no problem.
Friends who use 300 series motherboards may not have upgraded the BIOS for several years, because some models of practical BIOS have only been updated to 2020. During this time, there may be some small changes in the upgrade mode of some motherboards, BIOS mode, etc., which must be paid attention to when upgrading. For example, the latest version of the BIOS package on some Asus motherboards has an additional BIOS renaming tool, and if some methods or software upgrades cannot recognize the new BIOS file, it needs to be automatically renamed.
Finally, I would like to remind everyone that when upgrading the BIOS, we should pay attention to the version, some models have not yet launched the BIOS based on the latest version of microcode, support the latest batch of Ryzen, or have not yet entered the automatic upgrade file library. If you use online automatic upgrades, etc., you may directly load the unstable version 1.2.0.5 microcode. Therefore, it is still recommended that you go to the official website to determine the version, and then download and manually upgrade it yourself.
