PC Processors

[Pnuemo]

So I'm building my first gaming PC and decided to run with a Ryzen 3 3100 and an ASRock B450 Pro4. Ran it through PCPartPicker for any compatibility issues and it says I may need a BIOS update. Just need someone to tell me whether or not I would require a BIOS update. Again, Ryzen 3 3100 and an ASRock B450 Pro4. Thanks.

According to ASRock CPU List for your Motherboard you need BIOS version P4.10 or newer installed to support your Ryzen 3 3100 processor: http://www.asrock.com/MB/AMD/B450%20Pro4/#CPU

BIOS Version P4.10 came out on 03/27/2020 so if you motherboard is older than that date you probably will need to update the BIOS to support your processor: http://www.asrock.com/MB/AMD/B450%20Pro4/#BIOS

The motherboard should have a sticker on there somewhere showing which BIOS Version the motherboard has installed from the factory.

Also the BIOS Version could be stamped on the BIOS chip on your motherboard.
