Making PC With Ryzen CPU

ther3djacket · Aug 11, 2018

I'm having issues understanding the difference between the installation process between Intel and Ryzen CPU's or if there is any. When I make builds on PCPartPicker it automatically checks for compatibility between all the parts chosen. Something I've seen is whenever I make a build with a Ryzen CPU, PCPartPicker says there might be an issue with the Ryzen CPU and an outdated BIOS on the motherboard. But whenever I make a build with an Intel CPU this problem seems to become irrelevant

Is this a problem I should be concerned with when making a PC with all new parts? And If so what are some things that I should be doing to ensure that what ever build I make has parts that are compatible with each other and will work together out of the box?

Thanks!

Processor and motherboard should be from same gen. and socket type. The BIOS incompatibility you get is probably for 2nd gen. Ryzen with 1st gen. boards. That is not a big issue as you can choose a 2nd gen. board now, they are out. Or you can get the the 1st gen. board BIOS updated.
If you mention your budget and location, we can suggest the most optimized parts for you.

It is a little confusing I know but:

Ryzen 1XXX fits A320, B350 and X370 'boards out of the box.

Ryzen 2XXX and 2XXXG use the same socket as the earlier chips but may require a updated BIOS to work in A320, B350 and X370 motherboards.

Ryzen 2XXX and 2XXXg fit the B450 and X470 out of the box.
