How to choose a bios version
by Allewyn from LinuxQuestions.org on (#6H0Q1)
Maybe a basic level question for this list, but I didn't see it in the history so here goes.
My original AMD B450 MSI bios is 7B86vH0 (I am running a R5 3600) dated 2019-07-01 but the most recent is 7B86vHK dated 2023-10-26.
Does it matter which bios version I use? Should I use the latest or stick with what came with the motherboard? Is it important to use only the one listed for my cpu? Bios 7B86vH0 is listed for all 1st, 2nd, and 3rd gen cpus of Ryzen 3,5,7,and 9. 7B86vHK and others are listed for cpus such as Ryzen 5-5500 or Ryzen 7-5700X.
MSI care shows Ryzen 5 Matisse 3600 100 3.6GHz 3MB 32MB B0 65 N/A 7B86vH0.zip
Pangoly listing says "since" 7B86vH0.
Does that mean that any bios "since" 7B86vH0 is ok to use with the Ryzen 5 3600?
Thanks!
