New user inquiry about bios flashback
New user inquiry about bios flashback
You can install the new CPU and perform a BIOS flashback without another older CPU. The motherboard should support the update process.
I placed an order for an Asus ROG STRIX X870E-E gaming Wi-Fi, but it hasn't arrived yet. I reviewed the video at the provided link, but it's unclear whether the unsupported CPU needs to be installed physically during the BIOS flashback process.
Avoid using the CPU. Use a small USB2.0 flash drive; your Asus board won’t function with USB3.0 devices. The issue is well-known but not fully detailed in sources.
Which processor isn’t backed by support? You can confirm the BIOS details for this board. The X870 includes Ryzen 9 models right from the start.
I would have done it regardless, I picked that path after hearing the warning. On my 256 GB USB 3.0 stick, the file kept saying it was damaged. When I switched it to a smaller 16 GB USB 2.0 drive, it functioned properly again.
The 9950x3d is built on the 9000 architecture, which means it should function just like the other 9000 models. You might need a new BIOS for optimization, but it should start up properly with your current BIOS. This design was also used in the 7000 series.
