I know the cpu 5 2600x is not suported on the MSI B550 PRO WHFI . VDH .Is it possible to flash a bios so that it can work on the board?I see on other forums people have managed to do it.

If you have a 2600X and a B550 and it doesnt boot, you can do two thing:
  • Sell 2600X and buy a 3x00 or newer series processor
  • Return/sell B550 and buy a B450/X470 motherboard instead

It was just a idea after seeing his review of the 550 moterboard.I allready have a 450 motherboard and thought i would try a better motherboard.As i thought because it was a am4 four socket you could use any cpu.With the Flashback thing.
