Good day, Can I update the BIOS on this mainboard without installing a CPU? I am thinking of buying this mainboard with the AMD Ryzen 5 5600x, but I'm worried about the BIOS update because I don't have any old Ryzen processors, (Coming from an Intel 7th Gen. Pre-Built.) I can't update the motherboard with one of those. With kindest regards Nico E.

Helpful answer

Of course, you can NOT install an Intel processor on an AMD socket. However, an update should be possible without a processor but with a USB stick. But I have not tried it.
