s about BIOS updates
Hello! Upgrading your ASUS PRIME B350 Plus from version 3401 to 6042 should be possible, but you may need to install intermediate BIOS versions depending on your setup. Regarding your AMD 2400G, it's unlikely to be affected by the BIOS update unless there are compatibility issues with specific drivers or features—check your motherboard documentation for any warnings. Let me know if you need more details!
It's likely he'll face reduced backing for the 2400. I recall someone using a B450 Tomahawk who, after upgrading to the newest BIOS, lost support for his 3200g unit.
The documentation doesn't mention an option to upgrade to the latest BIOS version. A 4/2019 update suggests checking AMD chipset drivers before applying the BIOS. The 2400G isn't listed as being removed from BIOS updates, and other chips haven't been affected. Usually, the A6/A8/A10/A12 APUs were removed when limited space was available on the BIOS chip.
There is a very high chance the 2400 was dropped from bios especially after they added 5000 series support. The bios chip it's self just doesn't have the space. I recommend NOT flashing the bios on your board just to flash it.... cause you want to, but for no real reason. It will save you a lot of headache just leaving well enough alone. But good luck either way!
They don't clearly specify which chip versions are covered, just indicating the revision when support begins. Most users here don't need to update beyond the original factory BIOS release. Either A, not informed, or B, hesitant. BIOS updates don't introduce new features to a motherboard. I'm unfamiliar with that concept. Typically, only compatibility and stability patches are released, which most people overlook since A or XMP support is usually sufficient. If someone were seriously aiming for overclocking, they'd likely avoid this forum. A BIOS update plus casual gaming usually means it's not worth it for 90% of users. It's similar to using OEM boards—usually just a few updates, preventing system damage.
Unless you have concrete proof he’ll lose backing for the 2400G by changing it, you’re just fueling rumors. It’s conceivable this has happened before with other boards, but there’s no record of it here.
It seems you're feeling frustrated. Just remember, I'm here to help. Let's check the facts together.
Thanks for your input. I attempted to reach out to ASUS' tech support, but the provided link doesn't function and only sends partial messages.
Capacity to generate numerous posts far exceeds what someone with a shorter account could produce, but that doesn't confirm your reliability. You're the one asserting this, so you must demonstrate it. It's possible it's accurate—people have seen similar outcomes before—but without evidence or a clear method for verification, your argument remains unclear. I believe it's not wise to dismiss this outright, especially since you haven't provided any details on how the original poster could confirm its validity. @UcheGanizani Unless you're planning to upgrade the 2400G to a newer model or have a compelling reason, it's best to let things stand.
