Hello, I've seen some people upgrade their ASRock boards to newer BIOS versions even when the CPU isn't recommended for updates. It can be risky, but it's possible depending on the model. If you're using a Raven Ridge and update the BIOS, it might cause issues if the CPU wasn't designed for that change. Always check compatibility before proceeding.
According to what I understand, the system would likely halt after completing its tasks. From my perspective, this appears to be a known problem; they seem to remove the compatibility microcode for these CPU models, rendering them non-functional. However, it’s probably not a major concern—most devices use AM4 sockets and Intel processors, and most Ryzens should remain unaffected.
