ASROCK BIOS UPDATE

Hi All,

I am a complete noob when it comes to BIOS updating.

I want to buy a RYZEN 5000 series CPU and I have the board below and want to know, can I just update straight to the 3.60 BIOS version for RYZEN 5000 series support or do i need to do each one from my current BIOS version?

You just update directly to the BIOS version you want, no need to flash all the others in between.

 

Legend, will have a crack tonight... I have always been scared of updating the BIOS so fingers crossed

 

Correct me if I'm wrong but some need steps don't they? Or was this just older motherboards?

 

pretty rare, even older boards to have to not be able to just go to the latest release.

 

most manufacturers usually state whether X bios is a requisite to install first.
often those ones are non-reversible - and again, most manufacturers will state this on the download page.

i note 2.50 and earlier on your board has the latter of those conditions (non-downgradable)
none state anything about skipping to the latest from base/first release.
probably ignore that advice about the all-in-one driver unless you've literally never updated chipset driver, though can't hurt to double check that first anyway before doing anything

 

Thanks for the help guys, will try get around to this on the weekend.
