Question Has anyone successfully downgraded bios on ASRock?

[foroomate]

Hi,

I have a b450m pro4 and although it says it's not possible to downgrade bios, I did that by mistake a couple of years ago and it kept working.

But that was for the same generations of CPUs.

Now I want to upgrade from the bios prior to the support of the 5000 series to the latest bios(version 5.70) that supports it in order to install a 5600x

But then I might want to pull the 5600x out and put the old CPU (Ryzen 3600) back with version 3.50.

And although it says I can't I wonder if someone did something similar because I did it in the past, just not specifically for different generations

Thanks

The new BIOS has backwards compatibility with old chips. There is absolutely no reason to downgrade a BIOS, that's why it is not supported.

you can downgrade the same way you upgrade.
flashing the older bios version is possible (it should obviously be, if there is a bug or smth)
they just say you cant, so you stay updated

No need at all, it will even work better with newest BIOS.
