Support for B450M Steel Legend: sooooo sweet :love:

Vya Domus · Nov 19, 2020

Good, might pick up a 5000 series next year.

windwhirl · Nov 19, 2020

Well, that was fast. Guess some nice surprises had to happen to balance a bit all the scalping and out-of-stock products that's been going on for a while-

Chomiq · Nov 19, 2020

That was quick considering amd mentioned early 2021 for this.

I might be wrong, but the current latest bios on my Gigabyte B450 AORUS PRO WIFI might also already support Zen 3 since late last month if I read the AGESA version correctly:

According to some quick internet searching it seems the AMD AGESA ComboAM4v2PI 1.1.0.0 should support the 5000 series, but don't have a CPU to test it. Anyone else experience with this AGESA version?

Asus and Gigabyte also recently released Beta BIOS that support Ryzen 5000 CPU's (AGESA ComboAm4v2PI 1.1.0.0) for their B450 boards:

In similar news, Gigabyte and ASUS BIOS support for AMD Ryzen 5000 Desktop CPUs are already out. Gigabyte is offering BETA support on a total of 16 B450 chipset based motherboards while ASUS is offering BETA support on a total of 16 ROG STRIX, PRIME & TUF Gaming products. Gigabyte BIOS is titled at F60c whereas ASUS's BIOS is listed as 8501.

Apparently v2 supports it, v1 doesn't.

Why not x470? Isn’t that a more premium, more important motherboards?

Premium? Sure. More important. Nope.
B450 is way more popular, so it makes sense to push updates first.

I updated to BIOS version P.3.60 to add Zen3 support to the ASRock B450M Steel Legend system that I gave to my mother. Unfortunately, the Zen3 CPUs all evaporated before I could get one, but at least the system will be ready to accept a newer CPU if someone ever does upgrade it.

What's your old cpu, Ryzen 2000 or 3000? I'd like to know if P3.60 drop support for some cpu (and, if so, what cpu will drop)...

I updated bios on my ryzen 5 3500x and it works fine. I'm little scared if that can be problem for my cpu.

My system works perfecty with the R5 2600x, but I'm also interested for Zen 3 support: i'm afraid that they drop some cpu support (may be 2000 series) but i can't find infos about wich one...
