Question PCPartPicker says a 5600X might have an issue with a B550M MOBO, what's the problem?

[TheUltraMarine]

This part list I'm putting together for a friend of mine is stating an issue between the BIOS version of the mobo and the CPU, I was wondering if there was any real problem?

CPU: Ryzen 5 5600X

Motherboard: Gigabyte B550M DS3H

You can end up with a board with bios F3 or older installed, which don't have the code necessary to recognize the 5600X.
This mobo doesn't have a bios flashback function either, so if you draw the short straw, you've no choice but to return the mobo, except if you already have an older Ryzen cpu nearby.

Know any relatively cheap 5th Gen ready motherboards?

Select a board that has bios flashback; it lets you circumvent getting a young bios.
Oh right, cheap... well, that Gigabyte B550M DS3H was already down there...

Yeah, a quick Google search revealed that the motherboard did in fact support Q-Flash, my bad.

OH, they moved the bloody switch.
Why'd they have to be different with that?

Sorry about that.
