I observed limited details about this specific hardware, so I’m just curious if anyone here has experience. Would the listed components work smoothly with full SAM support? Mobo: ASRock B450 PRO4 (5000 bios), CPU – any Ryzen 3000? GPU – any RX 6000? If yes, is updating the BIOS still worthwhile?

Available only with 500-series motherboards and the Rx6000. Unless AMD specifies otherwise, updating the BIOS isn't necessary.

MSI's 5000 series update for 400 series boards allowed SAM to work with Ryzen 3000 processors. Is ASRock supporting this as well?

The updated 400 series boards now support both 5000 and 3000 Ryzen processors, but it's unclear if ASRock activated this feature for the 3000 series.

I'm sure all motherboard vendors probably already working on the support, they probably waited for AMD greenlight. If MSI can do it, sooner or later ASROCK will follow. If it is not stated in the bios change log, don't bother updating. just wait.

The issue lies with ASRock's inconsistent updates for BIOS patch logs and new feature details... UwU

It seems the issue lies elsewhere—they likely chose not to back the older model to boost sales of the newer version. All updates and improvements are clearly documented in the logs. There’s no justification for skipping essential capabilities.

Located the solution on Reddit, it seems SAM works for the board. However, ASRock hasn't activated it for the 3000 series—it might be hiding the feature when an older CPU is installed. They're still in testing, so... okay.
