He should consider a BIOS update first since it doesn’t require a new motherboard. If that’s all you have, saving for a new one might be necessary.

It should likely support Zen 3 using a BIOS that doesn’t require going back.

They confirmed B450 can run Zen 3, but actual availability depends on the suppliers planning a new BIOS update.

You can enhance the BIOS for compatibility with the 4000 Series CPUs, though this alters settings permanently. You should not revert the BIOS if you wish to run older generations. Certain motherboard makers allow this for the 3000 Series due to limited room for additional CPU support in the BIOS.

Sure, I see. Yes, aside from the B550s, there shouldn't be any additional new models in the 4000 series.

We aren't sure. They might drop something similar to an x670 chipset, but we definitely can't confirm it.

Of course, nobody would understand. For the Ryzen 4000 line, opt for B550 for improved VRM, a stable system, and you’ll skip the BIOS work—though it comes at a higher price.
