I would like to buy this motherboard and use the AMD Ryzen 5 5600X processor. As far as understood that the motherboard must be flushed with a new BIOS version.

But just to be on the safe side. The processor is already plugged on the motherboard BEFORE the BIOS fush or only after the BIOS update? Or is it enough if I install the graphics card WITHOUT the processor at the beginning and connect the monitor?

Thanks for the help.

Answer

OK. I'm giving you the answer myself.

This mainboard supports "BIOS Flashback". This means that an "older" CPU is not necessary just to get into the BIOS and update it.

This means that the new CPU does not have to be installed, but only the latest BIOS version can be installed via USB stick and "BIOS Flashback" button. As soon as this is done: Plug in the CPU / RAM / graphics card and connect the monitor/keyboard. The mainboard now starts and should recognise the new processor and display the BIOS mask.
