ASRock AB350M Pro4 Motherboard and Ryzen 7 2700X CPU compatibility?

[jc46124]

I am currently running a Ryzen 5 2400G with my ASRock AB350M Pro4 motherboard.

My question is if my desired CPU Upgrade, the Ryzen 7 2700X is compatible with it.

I've researched a little, but have found conflicting reports concerning it.

My question is, stability of the pair, compatibility, and what would I have to do in order for it to be stable together?

Is it worth it? Or should I just get a combo deal with a board?

The board is compatible, but may need a BIOS update first. Check which one you have now.

it would be a great combination, you don't even need a bios update since you are already running a 2nd gen ryzen.

just clicking in and out 😀

specs?

Probably not, but the 2400g required the P4.50 BIOS while the 2700X requires the P4.70 BIOS. So there's a possibility...

Should I just attempt to swap without a bios update? Or should I go ahead and update bios?
My only concern is updating the bios, and then having stability issues.

I just checked.
It would appear I have the most up to date non beta Bios at 4.70.

PRO 2700X works since 4.5 so you're good to go.
