[SOLVED] What bios update do I need?

[6ixsvp]

I just bought a Ryzen 5 5600x to upgrade from my Ryzen 5 2600.
My motherboard is a B450m Bazooka v2
Not sure where I’m supposed to go or what one I have to do or even how to download it.

Any help would very appreciated!

I tried to check the support page for your motherboard and was redirected to the "global" site.

MSI Global - The Leading Brand in High-end Gaming & Professional Creation

So far as I can tell in a quick look, I do not see the 5600X listed as a compatible CPU or available BIOS version.

EDIT- apologies, I found it at the end of the list. It states "latest BETA BIOS", which is this one: 7A38vPE5(Beta version)

Here is your Bios support page and how to use M-Flash:

Okay thank you. I just follow this and everything will work? And the bios version I need is the newest one right? The beta version?

Make sure instructions for Bios M-Flash are followed carefully and 7A38vP0 is the latest update (not a Beta version).
Update your chipset prior to Bios flash and ensure the USB you use is formatted to FAT32.

There is a slight risk associated with flashback (Power failure) and MSI recommend not to update if all is OK with system as is. I recommend an update as it will improve CPU compatibility and memory support capability.

I did this checked bios version before putting in my new cpu. Put in the new cpu and was taken to a MSI Click Bios page not sure what to do now

Just ask yourself, Is the system running OK and does my system need to be updated.?
Very often your chipset needs to be updated when installing a new CPU.
