GIGABYTE has started to provide BIOS for AMD's next-generation CPU Ryzen 5000 series for motherboards equipped with AMD 500 series chipset.

The supported BIOS versions are "F31" for the X570 chipset , "F11 " for the B550 chipset, and "F11" for the A520 chipset , and the "Q-Flash Plus" function that allows you to update the BIOS even without a CPU installed.

GIGABYTE is also verifying the BIOS for the "Ryzen 5000" series for motherboards equipped with AMD X470 and AMD B450 chipsets. It will be released as soon as it is ready.

GIGABYTE has released bootable BIOS in September to support Ryzen 5000 series processors. However, our RD team worked closely with AMD to validate the latest AMD BIOS AGESA code in parallel with the belief of providing users with a better product experience. Also, prior to the official launch of the Ryzen^TM 5000 series processors, we work hard on the BIOS to optimize the Zen3 core’s performance and upload it to our websites available for download. This allows users to firsthand experience the compatibility and reliability improvements made possible from motherboards equipped with Ryzen^TM 5000 series processors when they get a hold of their processors while enjoying the advantages of the new processors on gaming experience, performance, and overclocking ability.

Users can update their motherboards’ BIOS by their familiar methods, such as ＠BIOS or Q-Flash. They can even utilize the Q-Flash Plus feature to update the BIOS without installing any processor, memory or even graphics card, making it possible for users to enjoy the benefits brought about by the new BIOS core and processors.

The latest BIOS for the AMD X570, B550, and A520 motherboards is available now on our websites. Users can visit the product websites to download and upgrade their systems to keep them in the best condition possible. At the same time, we are working on the BIOS for AMD X470 and B450 motherboards to support Ryzen^TM 5000 series processors and will release them as soon as possible. Remember to check out GIGABYTE’s website for the latest news.
