Question Are there any motherboards for the 7800X3D that don’t require a BIOS flash ?

[Firekirby]

Title basically, preferably a motherboard within or below the $200 range. The stories I’m hearing about BIOS flashes are kind of scaring me. Is this basically required for every motherboard paired with the 7800X3D right now? Just trying to figure out whether I have to accept committing to a BIOS flash or if there’s a way to avoid it.

There are many mobo out there that accept the 7800X3D, but might have older bios which are dangerous to the said X3D chips.

You might have heard about mobo settings giving more voltage to X3D chips and frying them. The latest Bios updates fix that and improve RAM compatibility for high speed memory.

I built my 7800X3D PC this week. Bios update was the first thing that i did.

a good mobo with pcie 5.0 ssd support:
