I have a B450M Motherboard from Gigabyte, I understand I have to update the BIOS to use amd 3rd Gen Ryzen cpus on it (https://www.gigabyte.com/Motherboard/B450M-DS3H-rev-10/support#support-dl-bios ), but it says that I must have the chipset driver updated to a specific version to install the BIOS, but to install the chipset driver do I need an OS?
If I need an OS, does that mean that I need an AMD Ryzen gen gen 1/2 cpu to update the chipset and BIOS, and then once that's done, only then can I use a 3rd gen Ryzen CPU?
Is there anyway for me to update the BIOS via Q-Flash and also update the chipset driver without entering the with another Ryzen gen 1/2 cpu OS?
Or are chipset drivers only something to worry about if you want to use APU's?
Really need help with this.
