Hey I have a motherboard from MSI, it's the B450 Gaming Pro Carbon AC and I was wondering if it is possible to use the bios from the Max version (MSI B450 Gaming Pro Carbon Max) since it's from the same manufacturer and only difference really is the name max and ac.
 
Solution
NO. BIOS firmware is 100% model AND revision specific. Even the exact same model, with two different REVISIONS, are likely to use different BIOS firmware because there may be different hardware integrated into the motherboard. It's a good way to brick your board.
