TheClark Posted February 26, 2021 Share Posted February 26, 2021 Any pnwmas people have an older AMD ryzen CPU they could loan me or trade for coral? My son picked up a 5800x and ASUS mobo. The mobo needs a bios update to support his CPU (2nd or 3rd gen works). Apparently if you can find an older one, you can flash bios then replace the CPU. Thanks!!

NateDawg Posted February 26, 2021 Share Posted February 26, 2021 (edited) I'll reach out to a couple buddies of mine and see if they have any but I believe you can update the bios with a usb drive and the new cpu. Heres a link that might help if that's the issue your having. https://rog.asus.com/forum/showthread.php?115316-Updating-BIOS-with-new-CPU-(Not-supported-BIOS-level) Edited February 26, 2021 by NateDawg 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He does not have the flashback feature though (TUF Plus, not Pro). Appreciate it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NateDawg Posted February 26, 2021 Share Posted February 26, 2021 I see, that makes things a bit more difficult. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
