Note that if you're buying this for the new zen 3 series processor, you'll need to have an older ryzen processor at hand to do a BIOS update to make it compatible for the new zen 3. This motherboard will not work otherwise and it does not have BIOS flashback.

Since you can't buy a 5xxx series chip to go with this right now I would just hold out until they are available and by then these will all be shipping with the updated bios. (could be already but you don't know if they're still liquidating old stock) At the normal $200 price this is still a great board. I've been abusing mine for 6+ months so far.

I was able to get the 5600x luckily and I wanted this board as well. But after learning about no BIOS flashback, I decided to go for the Asus B550F which has the same VRM internals and a flashback.

Got this for 120$ best mobo I have ever bought. Paired with 3700x and 32gigs of crucial memory. I am so much faster than my old fx 8350 build

AM4 Motherboard. I guess I can chuck my Intel CPU out the door then.
Most coolers work for multiple socket types across intel and amd.

Yes some cheap motherboards don't have bios flash button by IO ports.

This has no bios flash button. So it requires older CPU to be installed to update it so 5000 series most likely won't work depends on how old bios is.

Is this end of the line for AM4? I suspect AMD Zen 4 will not be compatible with AM4. So don't worry about future proofing your MBs...

I'm thinking about this and the MsI z490 tomahawk. I just got the Intel Core i5-10600K as a gift so trying to get a mobo that works well with it. Can you please give some recommendation? Or any deal or new egg that should work for that i5? Thanks

Damn and I just ordered the Gigabyte X570 Aorus Elite Wifi from them on Thursday. Would have liked to have saved $20.

I just got the none WIFI version of this MB, its BIOS is version 2407. I think one version newer BIOS support 5000 CPUs.

You can, but it needs to POST before you can update the BIOS. In order for it to POST, you need the CPU and everything else installed.

For what it's worth, I bought this board from Best Buy last month and it worked out of the box with the Ryzen 5600X
