[SOLVED] How to tell if a motherboard shipped with CPU 'drivers'?

[Furzumz]

Hello, I have a B350M PRO-VDH motherboard and I was going to put a Ryzen 9 3900x into it. The motherboard site says its compatible with the processor but I'm wondering if there's any way to tell ahead of time if the motherboard shipped with the proper software support for the processor or if I need to update the bios

Is the only way I can tell by plopping in the CPU when it gets here and see if it works?

Is the B350 in a currently functioning system or just in a box?

My B350 is in use. I'm using a ryzen 5 1600 with it right now

Then enter the BIOS and check the current version.
Then look at this page -- https://www.msi.com/Motherboard/support/B350M-PRO-VDH#support-cpu which says the 3900x CPU requires the 38AJ version of the BIOS. That is the VERY LATEST BIOS version. You will probably have to update your BIOS. You may have to make several steps AND there are other required driver updates listed in the notes for the BIOSs. READ and FOLLOW ALL the requirements.
