[SOLVED] MSI B550 - A PRO + AMD Ryzen 7 3700x

[Matt Pryce]

I got a new MSI B550 - A Pro motherboard and an and ryzen 7 3700x to go along with it. The motherboard says "Ready for AMD 5000 desktop processors". However the cpu manual says the cpu is "ready for AMD 3000 Desktop processors". Do I need a bios update??
From what I read on the MSI website, ryzen 7 3700x is compatible with this motherboard.
P.S. - My first build. Need all the help I can get

B550 was released long after the AMD 3000 series processors. It should have the necessary microcodes preinstalled by default. 3700x wont need any BIOS update on that board.
