Hey all I currently have a Ryzen 5 2600x with a great AIO cooler that I won. I am looking for a mobo with overclocking capabilities.
I was looking at the ASRock - X370 KILLER SLI/ac ATX AM4 Motherboard. But PcPartPicker says it may need a bios update.
I don't have any spare cpu's so will this be a problem or can I get it?
If not can someone suggest a mobo that I can overclock on and isn't red (my colour scheme)

Ty for your help <3

The X370 Killer SLI required BIOS P4.60 in order to run the 2600X.

So this depends on if the seller is shipping it with at least this BIOS version. If they are selling it with latest BIOS, then you'll be fine, if they are not, then it will not work.
Equally just be wary that the seller isn't just going to send you a MB that's been sitting on a shelf with an old BIOS on it.

You can contact the seller directly to find out usually.
Worst case, I believe AMD will still give you a boot kit to update the BIOS if required and other options have been exhausted:
