So, after the discussion yesterday where an ASUS support employee told that for Ryzen 5000 people need to purchase a series 500 mainboard opposed to a firmware upgrade, ASUS has made things clear now.

Yesterday we asked ASUS to clear this confusion up and make a formal statement about it. Here is the statement from ASUS, they will offer Series 400 Chipset support with selected motherboards starting in January 2021. Which is in line with what AMD has been stating.

-- ASUS --

ASUS is to follow AMD’s decision: beta BIOS support for 400-series motherboards will be ready starting in Jan/2021, all ASUS X470, B450 & B450 II motherboards available on the market will be compatible via a BIOS update. When or if AMD sends us the required Agesa update, ASUS will follow AMD’s support plan to release the new BIOS.
