[SOLVED] Question about motherboard

[Deleted member 2729451]

I have a B450M Bazooka V2
I was looking at it on amazon and I never noticed that it says "AMD Ryzen 1st and 2ND Gen" I have a Ryzen 5 2600. Was I suppose to do something if I have a higher CPU then Ryzen 1 or 2? I dont know much about that so if someone could help that would be nice.

Your Ryzen 5 2600 is 2nd Gen. It is a 2nd generation 2000 series CPU.

Your Ryzen 5 2600 is 2nd Gen. It is a 2nd generation 2000 series CPU.

so what is the next gen? And what if I get one of those, will I have to do something to my motherboard?

The latest generation is Ryzen 3000 series. You may need to update the motherboards BIOS depending on whether or not it supports the latest generation. Look for a "AMD Ryzen Desktop 3000 Ready" sticker on the front of the motherboard box.

With a BIOS update you can us any Ryzen 3000 CPU. Check out the support page for more info.
