Question Will this work?

[360mr]

So I’m putting a list together for my pc and I’ve seen a few people having problems with the MSI B450 TOMAHAWK MAX ATX AM4 Motherboard and the Ryzen 5 3600 3.6ghz 6 core processor, is this still a problem? And if so what’s needed to make them work. Thanks.

Problems in what way?

I think it was to do with the bios, here’s a link I was looking at View: https://www.reddit.com/r/MSI_Gaming/comments/cg80p3/my_experience_with_b450_tomahawk_and_ryzen_3600/?utm_source=amp&utm_medium=&utm_content=post_body

Their issue certainly reads as a defective board, or BIOS.... Or BIOS flash.

As far as I know, there's no widespread issue with Tomahawk boards - they're very popular so, if there were an ongoing issue, you'd see many more results of problems.

The MAX is a re-release, with a BIOS that supports 3000 series CPUs out of the box. With that, you wouldn't have to update the BIOS, it would just 'work', or it wouldn't.

Although you don't have to update the BIOS, with AGESA updates etc, it can be a good idea.
