Is ryzen 5 3600x compatible with gygabite b450m ds3h (rev 1.0) mobo? Pc part pickers says that it might need a bios update first, but this is my first desktop and i dont have another cpu. Will they be compatible from the scratch?
 
Solution
No it won't be compatible from scratch. The best option would be to get any MSI b450 motherboard that has MSI Flashback (

) and flash the newest BIOS available before inserting the Ryzen 3000 CPU. Once flashed, you can turn the PC off then place in the Ryzen 3600x. Alternatively, spend $150-$200 on an X570 motherboard that will support it out of the box.
