X570 boards work well with 5000 series processors.
I've read many discussions about BIOS updates for X570 boards that allow them to work with 5000 series CPUs. However, it seems you're wondering if updating the BIOS is necessary before installing a compatible CPU like the 5900X. If you're using an Intel system and plan to buy a motherboard designed for a 5900X, you may need to wait until a BIOS update makes it work. It appears there isn't a native compatibility between those specific models unless you upgrade your CPU first. There doesn't seem to be an alternative solution other than choosing the lowest-cost 3000 series CPU to enable the update.
many X570 motherboards include a BIOS flashback capability, enabling an update to the BIOS without requiring a CPU, RAM, or graphics card. Most boards in the $200 to $300 range offer this function. If you're looking for a particular model, review the product details to confirm availability. Companies such as Gigabyte brand it with a specific term (e.g., "QFlash Plus"), whereas Asus and MSI simply describe it as BIOS Flashback. You might also find a comprehensive list in a spreadsheet where each entry contains a "FlashBk Button" entry under Diagnostics, allowing you to filter options easily. Consider checking these sources:

Sure, that sounds like a straightforward process. Just get the newest BIOS file, plug in the USB device, and use the flashback function to apply the changes.
You can obtain additional Buckaroo versions, including the Aorus Master, which works seamlessly with flashback features without requiring any CPU, RAM, or GPU.
Perhaps on specific platforms... I've consistently relied on Komplett.no, where it appears at 5,099 NOK ($577.69 based on current rates): https://www.komplett.no/product/1132692/...socket-am4, which is the source of my $565 reference.
