I’m in the same boat. Managed to snag the mobo for cheap a couple of months back while waiting for Zen3. I should be able to just get the cheapest AM4 processor to be able to update the bios?

I've had my eye on this motherboard in preparation for Zen 3. Unfortunately it seems this specific board does not have BIOS flashback. While I am aware there is a BIOS update from August available with the required "AGESA 1.0.8.0" for Zen 3, I'm worried if boards shipped from say, Amazon, have that version preinstalled yet or not. How current (or far behind) are retailers typically? I'd really prefer not to go through the hassle of getting a secondary CPU to update the BIOS.
Hi I'm new to the forum, I will soon get the ROG Strix X570-E Gaming motherboard that I will use with a Ryzen 7 5800x.
I will have to update the BIOS via the flash button on the back of the motherboard and so far ok, I know how.
2 questions:
- Can I run the BIOS update without CPU via flash button by connecting the motherboard ONLY to the 24 pin cable of the power supply? (i.e. just connect that power source to update the BIOS or do I have to connect the 4 + 4 pin CPU cable too?), this is because I would like to run the BIOS update before mounting the motherboard in the case. Thanks
- Is the penultimate version available 3001 dated 08/12/2020 ok for ryzen 5000?
You have to connect CPU power 8-pin also (at least that's what MSI wants you to do). These instructions should be on Asus' website, and video tutorials on YouTube. As far as which BIOS supports 5000-series, you just have to read the update notes for each BIOS. Or head over to Asus' sub or their forum. You would have gotten more answers on an Asus forum instead of here. Good luck.
