ASRock B450M Pro4 works with Ryzen 3100 processors.
Hi fellow builders, I’m just starting out and have a quick question about my ASRock B450M Pro4. Should I update the BIOS before installing my Ryzen 3100 CPU, or can I finish the build now and fix it later? The board comes with BIOS version 4.20, and I’m a bit worried about damaging it if I don’t check first. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
Currently, most B450 boards come with a BIOS compatible with the AGESA code for Zen 2 CPUs (such as the 3100). If the board was made before Zen 2, it should support the 3100. However, if it shipped with BIOS version 4.20, it will support Zen 2 CPUs right out of the box. Should it have an outdated BIOS that doesn’t support Zen 2, you can contact a computer store to update it.
Thank you in advance. I'm ready to finish the build and handle updates after the system launches.

I discovered the BIOS version by checking the motherboard's documentation or manufacturer website.
The board is not currently paired with another processor.
