im not sure if my motherboard supports a 5600, my motherboard is the prime b550m-k

[sullen gull]

i know that updating bios will make it work, but does it support it without doing that?

[open sleet]

yes it’ll work

[sullen gull]

without updating?

[open sleet]

yup

b550 boards rolled out with 5000 series

[sullen gull]

cause pcpartpicker said 5600 wont be compatible

but alr

[open sleet]

it’ll work as long as it’s b550

[sullen gull]

alr ty

[open sleet]

yup

[sullen gull]

but if i buy any x3d

i need to update bios

right

thats what i was told

[open sleet]

I would but it’s not essential since it’s in the same 5000 lineup

but no you don’t need to

[sullen gull]

i feel like i should still update bios

just if it somehow wont support

[open sleet]

it will support it fine

[sullen gull]

ight

[open sleet]

but, updating bios never hurts

unless your power goes out lmao

[sullen gull]

yeah

i guess

alr ty

might still update

[open sleet]

that’s fine

also if you don’t believe me if you look up that mobo on like amazon it says 5000 series right there

[sullen gull]

alr

[wise cobalt]

It says it may require a bios update. Not that it will not be compatible

[open sleet]

well normally when it says that it means it needs an update to be compatible but in this case it’s just bugged

[wise cobalt]

it says that for multiple b550 boards

[open sleet]

don’t matter

[wise cobalt]

??

[open sleet]

all b550 boards work with 5000 series 😭

[tepid igloo]

The 5600 released way later than the initial 5000 series CPUs

The 5600 got BIOS support in version 2603. That was almost two years after the release

Because the CPU released two years later

[wise cobalt]

what were the original 5000 series cpus

[tepid igloo]

5600x, 5800x, 5900x, 5950x
