That depends on when the motherboard was made; whether it was made before or after the BIOS update was released fro 3rd-gen CPU support. The B450 Tomahawk is one of the motherboards that supports BIOS flashing without a CPU. So, you should be able to do that.

I know that both of them have BIOS flashback, Im asking which one support Ryzen 3600x without flashback :)
 
If you get the "MAX" MSI motherboards they should bring out of the box BIOS for Ryzen 3rd Gen.

If you get a motherboard with the BIOS Flashback function then you will be able to update it without a CPU been installed.

This is correct.

You only mentioned one motherboard. The MSI MAX motherboards all support 3rd-gen Ryzen out of the box.
