The msi b450 gaming plus has bios flashback which can be very useful.
Here is a link of the mobo's that have flashback capabilities.
We overview all B450, X470 & X370 motherboards with USB BIOS Flashback built-in that are compatible with Ryzen Zen 2 processors.

But the best thing would be to look for a 2000 ready mobo then let Xfr/Pbo and using ryzen dram calculator to oc the ram thats where i had my best performance
With my 2600x and my rog strix x470 f gaming.
Here is the link to my bios update adventure
Specs R5 2600x Asus Rog Strix x470 f gaming Unfortunately 5204 bios And yes chipset drivers updated fisrt. Which may have started my issue. G.Skill Flare X 3200mhz 2x8 16gb on Qvl Was running fine NO ERRORS on ryzen dram calculator 3400 fast. Corsair h110i with stock fans replaced with 2x140mm...

It's long but you can see what i went through when i updated the bios from 4602 to 5204 for my rog.
Currently i have it at 4.1ghz but can still only get my g.skill flare x 3200 fast rdc.
On the 4602 bios update my ram was fine @3400 fast rdc.
Since that update i still can't get it stable over 3200 fast.
I toyed with it in the last few days thinking i had figured something out but last night it crashed running Occt @3400 fast so back to 3200 fast rdc.
Mobo manufacturers and online retailers could help us out more by giving us
A valid way to know what bios version it has, that alone would help us alot.
Even a born on date would help.
I have seen only a few ads stating 2000 ready and that was on amazon.
So with what there my be something to what the asus tech support told me per a phone call about amazon having older bios mobo's.
At micro center the new mobo's are 3000 Compliant as they let stock dwindle down around the July 7th release of Zen2 release
And then restocked with new.
So let me do this.
2000 ready: choice of xfr/pbo and ram Oc
Still having the ability to formal oc.
3000 ready
Able to use xfr? / pbo and little ram Oc
Potential because of the new boost clock and ram issues.
Would almost need to Oc to get close to a 2000.
I'm looking at maybe???? A msi b450 pro carbon and using the bios tools to flash it back to a bios well before the point of the july 7th zen2 release date for my 2600x to go on when i go with a zen2 for my rog as i Will not try flashing back to the older bios updates as some have tried and bricked the board.
Dmann has way more experience in the bios department and did a quick check on the pro carbon to see if that could be done and thinks that is my best option for a 2000 series cpu.
Best regards
