Question AMD Boards - Do I understand correctly?

[rivethead]

The new X570 motherboards are ready for the 3000 and 4000 series AMD CPUs. The B450 boards are going to require a BIOS update which may or may not work.

But it doesn't really matter because no one has AMD motherboards in stock due to the China virus.

It's a crappy time to start a new AMD build.

Is this generally accurate?

most definitely... lol..

Good luck finding a decient Ryzen board in stock.
Good luck finding a PSU even.

Now is definitely one of the worst times to require a new PC build.

So after doing some more research (which I admit I should have done before posting - I apologize), it appears that the 3000 series of AMD cpus will work just fine with 450 motherboards. It's the 4000 series that is going to need a bios update.

I think we have a better shot at getting a 450 board in the near term than a x570 board.

Thanks! And yet Newegg keeps blasting me with email advertisements. Such a tease.

Well, we also have the B550 motherboards releasing in less than a week on June 16. Will be curious to see how much product availability there will be.
I've got a new case, RAM, and Ryzen 5 3600 with nothing to tie them all together.

I didn't know about the 550 boards. Thanks for the heads up.

I expect all boards will need a BIOS update for the 4000 series.

Yeah, I mean I guess its possible the B550 boards *may* already have support for them since they're not even coming out for a week...but I really doubt it. x570 is going to need an update. Everything will most likely.

The B550's can be pre-ordered on Newegg. MSI Tomahawk already sold through though.

due to the China virus.

Quit your subtle racism. This isn't a MAGA support forum.

In addition, a vast portion of the motherboard and its components are manufactured in China. So maybe if you buy them, you might catch the "china virus".

I appreciate your perspective.

FYI China is a country, not a race.

Bullshit. Calling it the "China virus" is racially fueled.

I've already reported you to mods. We'll leave it up to them.
