MSI X470 Gaming PLUS now includes updated BIOS for CPU compatibility.
You're checking if switching to the latest BIOS will affect your client's CPU support. The Ryzen 5 2600 runs with a 3600MHz RAM, which is under the 3400MHz limit in the latest BIOS. The 7B79vAG supports up to 4000MHz RAM, while the 7B79vAH supports up to 4000MHz as well. Since your client's RAM is stable but underclocked, it should still work with either BIOS version. The 2000 series support status for the AH model isn't clear from this info.
It seems your client is likely to purchase a Ryzen 3000 series processor, but the board might already be damaged and won’t be confirmed until the new CPU arrives. Your uncertainty about the board is understandable.
processed all files from the flash drive format fat32, powered down the system, disconnected all USB devices except the mouse and keyboard, and connected only the flash drive with BIOS. Launched the rig, entered BIOS, moved to M-flash, saw a reset dialog, selected the correct BIOS file, pressed enter. The device booted after about 30 minutes but displayed a black backlit screen instead of normal output.
the system might be stuck or the latest firmware isn't compatible with those cpus
I also invested two hours searching for that data, but came up empty. Since you didn’t mention using a search engine, it seems you weren’t looking up anything, which might explain the lack of results. Your response suggests you’re not competent in this regard.
The documentation states that Zen 1 and Zen are not supported. The bios actually adds support for Agesa code for Zen 2. You might want to replace the board and see how it works, but the bios doesn’t remove support for Zen CPUs. Updated August 17, 2020 by TofuHaroto
