[SOLVED] Is it possible to update the BIOS on this MOBO without a CPU?

[Defenestrator IX]

I'm looking for an X470 motherboard for a Ryzen 5 3600, and I found a Gigabyte X470 Aorus Ultra Gaming (https://www.newegg.com/p/N82E16813145060R), but I could not find out if it was possible to update the BIOS to one that supports Ryzen 3000 series CPUs without a Ryzen 2000 series CPU, or something to get you into BIOS. Does anyone know if it's possible, or should I get a different MOBO?

No it is not able to be updated, without a CPU.

As far as I can tell this board does not support flashing the BIOS without a CPU present. It probably will not even boot.

Thanks for the list. I guess I'll be looking for MSI MOBOs.
