Question about ASUS Strix X470-F Gaming
Does the mainboard support Ryzen 3000 out-of-box? or is the corresponding BIOS update already installed? Or do you still have to do this manually? Thanks
Helpful answer
It is not Ryzen 3000 compatible, you need to do a BIOS update.
This motherboard DOES support Ryzen 3000 with BIOS 4804. You *should* be able to flash a new BIOS without having a working CPU using the USB BIOS Flashback procedure (a feature of ASUS motherboards since 2012!). See https://www.asus.com/support...
Note that there are a few delicate steps: USB MUST be formatted in FAT16/32 NOT any other file system and it MUST be plugged to the correct port, and the file must have the correct name.

Would also be interested, are you still leaning out your CPU for this purpose?
