Is this motherboard Zen 3 Ready without a BIOS update? Would like to buy it with a Ryzen 5600.
Zen 3 processors require AGESA v2 1.0.8.x firmware or higher. I doubt that the board is already delivered with this AGESA version. Since I bought the board a year ago, I unfortunately cannot say whether "new" boards are already delivered with the corresponding AGESA version. However, MSI offers the corresponding BIOS for download on their homepage.
Flashing a new BIOS at MSI is very easy and problem-free. If you buy a new mainboard anyway, I would generally recommend updating the BIOS to the latest version (even with another board). Especially with this MSI board, the time to POST is noticeably reduced with newer BIOS versions.
I don't think the update is installed on the stock version if the board has been sitting in a distributor's warehouse for months.
However, it is not a matter of updating the board.
Here is the link to the latest version "7C37v1C" from "2020-11-04", "Updated AMD AGESA ComboAm4v2PI 1.1.0.0 Patch C":
