QuestionWill this work with a Ryzen 5 5600x out of the box?
Asked 4 years ago by Anonymous.
- Answer No. To recognize a 5000 series Ryzen GPU (for now), you have to update the BIOS first. Seems to be the case for ALL Ryzen 5k compatible MoBos though. This CAN be done on this model without the CPU, RAM or any drives hooked up. Do a search on this board + FlashBackButton for some good tutorials. I did this before installing the CPU and it worked just great. MSI website also has tutorials - in box docs also cover but less completely . I love this MoBo btw. - very happy.

QuestionAre both m.2 slots gen 4? And does this have an easy bios flashback feature?
Asked 4 years ago by Gary.
- Answer No. You need an X570 board for PCIE 4.0 beyond the first M.2 B550 M2_1 slot (from AMD Processor) Supports PCIe 4.0 M2_2 slot (from AMD B550 chipset) Supports PCIe 3.0 It's why the X570 boards have a cooling fan near the 2nd and 3rd M2 slots. X570 chipsets run hot doing PCIE 4.0. ---- Yes, it has bios flash button on the I/O panel

QuestionDoes this motherboard have NVIDIA GeForce support?
Asked 5 years ago by Memphis.
- Answer If you're asking if NVIDIA GeForce graphics cards are compatible with this motherboard, then yes, as well as RTX and AMD cards. FYI, all motherboards are compatible with all graphics cards as long as they both have a full-sized PCIe 3.0 x16 slot, as all new gaming mobo's do.
