[SOLVED] Which BIOS version MSI B350 Tomahawk for Ryzen 7 3700x

[Voltarp]

I have a MSI b350 tomahawk with a Ryzen 3 1200. I want to upgrade the cpu to Ryzen 7 3700x. I understand that I need to update my BIOS for my new cpu, but have no idea which BIOS update to choose. I've tried doing my own research, but I can't find the correct information, since this is all new to me. Can anyone please help me with finding the right BIOS update?

Unless it's an unusual situation, the BIOS to update to will be the most recent one. BIOS updates are cumulative.

So I can directly update to the most recent one, without gradual updates?

Correct.

Basically, the updates add microcode to the BIOS to tell it about newer CPUs so that thtey can work together. The information from older CPUs isn't removed except for very specific reasons, and the site will be very clear on telling you if this is the case (typically if there are so many CPUs possible and they run out of space).

Thanks for the help. I've been stressing over this for quite some time now.
