I wanted to build a Ryzen 3rd gen system and since B450 is the cheapest I wanted to use that. However, I dont know of a motherboard that can be used with the CPU without a BIOS update.

Does anyone know possible ones?

(theres timestamps in bottom right of video to jump to b450 and i recall him saying some that have flashback support)
actually has a person talk about which boards are good for ryzen 3000 series (across b450/x470/x570)

basically you are wanting a MB with a flashback spec (where u use a USB on MB to flash it w/o needing an older chip)

or if videoes arent your thing... reddit has a list of some with the feature.

A ryzen 5 3600 consumes much less power than a 2700x. Since b450 boards can handle a 2700x they can all support a 3600 with a correct bios version.

None will work with an incompatible bios, so id buy a board like a b450 tomahawk that can update their bios without a supported cpu.
