So, I just finally got rid of the old FX and purchased a Ryzen 5 1600. There is a new BIOS update for the Asrock B450M Pro4 that I got downloaded but am weary of flashing as it states that it upgrades Agesa to 0.0.7.2 and there is no going back. All I can find on this is that it brings in like some 3rd Gen compatibility to prepare for those Ryzens to come out. The fact that the BIOS clearly states that you cannot go back after flashing it makes me wonder if this is okay for 1st Gen Ryzens and if it makes any difference positive or negative for it?
I am so used to FX and the old ways of overclocking that these constant abbreviations for features, lack of Bus Speed changing, etc. is really kind of confusing about how to best optimize this CPU to get the best performance out of it, I know RAM frequencies are really important and that's another thing that confuses the heck outta me is the NB frequency is locked to the RAM frequency from what I can see? I guess if anyone has a really good in depth guide on Ryzen overclocking I would be interested, because it is so different than what I am used to.
