Hello, I´m building a new PC and recently found out about the incompatibility of Ryzen with older MBs the hard way ( decided to return the cpu and MB and buy a newer version)

My question is, will a R7 2700x cpu work with x470 MBs ? Or is the update of bios still necessary?!

I´m thinking about "MSI X470 GAMING PRO CARBON"
or
"GIGABYTE AORUS X470 Ultra Gaming"

Any other alternatives, tips, or something to be wary of ?

Thanks for any relevant answers. :)
Sorry if this topic has been previously discused.
 
Solution
X470, or B450 will support 2nd Gen Ryzen out of the box.

Nothing really to be outright wary of - boards will vary in quality/components, of course - but at X470, you should be fine with any board.
