Ryzen 1500x with MSI B350 TOMAHAWK URGENT HELP NEEDED

9newbiebuilder · May 9, 2017

I'm right about to purchase the two together for my build.
I've heard that there are some issues with the Ryzen 5 and the b350 stock bios.

Does anyone know what version the stock bios comes in with these boards and if it will support the 1500x enough for me to update it to the latest one?

thanks

1500x requires 1.1 version, and starting version is 1.0. So not necessarily.

DRagor :

So what would be the solution?

I'm seriously considering sticking with Intel, the AMD boards are NOT user friendly at all.

One possible solution is to choose motherboard that will support 1500x from first release BIOS.
Other is to wait some time till the boards got shipped with later BIOS versions.
And final is to take a risk and hope you get unit with BIOS already factory updated. What's the chance? I was buying B250 board (Gigabyte) about 1 month after its debut, and I got it with BIOS already updated to second version.

As for Intel, well, there was a quite similar problem with KabyLake CPU and 1xx boards - at some point we had around 10 posts daily from ppl who had that problem here at Tom's forums.
