Question B550M Aorus Elite Chinese Version

[maybeDavey]

Hi, I just bought by Aliexpress the Aorus Elite B550M motherboard, judging by the box, it is a version that is commercialized in China and here comes my question, the origin of the motherboard affects somehow the bios system? or are they all the same regardless of their origin? I ask because I have a Ryzen 5 5600x and I need to update the BIOS to be able to install that cpu on my board.

Assuming the model number is identical the only problem I can think of is the BIOS might default to Chinese language. Updating it may require hunting and pecking your way through the update screens by guess and luck...a bit scary I suppose.

That would be a great time to have a Chinese speaking friend!

Good luck if that BIOS is in Chinese. The BIOS update should not be affected by language.

Most new-ish UEFI have several languages to choose from BIOS itself, mine has 6.

the Motherboard came with an English BIOS and it didn't have any issue, thanks for your replies.
