[SOLVED] Upgrading to Ryzen 5 3600, have to update BIOS, help.

[k4zkas]

Motherboard - Biostar B350GTN.
Previous CPU - Ryzen 5 1600.

Just want to make sure that I am doing everything correctly, confirmation would be great.

Do I have to update my BIOS? If so, do I need to go here - https://www.biostar.com.tw/app/en/mb/introduction.php?S_ID=878#download
download the update released on 06-03, put it my USB that is FAT32 and then flash it from BIOS screen on startup?

Thanks in advance.

Yes, you will need to do a bios update. You should consult your motherboard manual, on the exact steps, that is required for your board, but what you have described does sound correct.

The biostar B350GTN is a mini ITX right?
It should be compatible only with the Ryzen 5 3600 CPU in the 3000 series.
And yes, you should download the latest bios firmware available, which is named "B35AK603.BSS"

The way you described it is generally how you flash your BIOS. Check your manual for the proper procedure too just in case.
