Q: is this compatible with ryzen 5 5600x
Answer by Website User on 27th December 2021
No, not straight out of the box. You will need to flash the BIOS first (videos on how to do so are on YouTube) or if you have an older 1st 2nd or 3rd gen Ryzen CPU, use that to update the BIOS.

B450 are not the latest in motherboard technology, but supported a AMD Ryzen 7 5700G with no issues. love that it has wifi - no need to trail an ethernet cable around the room! It includes a 'M.2 Shield' basically a small metal plate that sits over the M2 plate - its a selling gimmick - don't use it! it doesn't do anything useful! Pleased with the purchase - great for a budget build!

Great board, perfect for overclocking, stable power delivery, RGB along with aRGB headers and a bit of addressable RGB on the board itself. Very nice looking and good VRM cooling. Also got it discounted, delivered super quick for free. Absolute steal.

This item arrived well packaged and on time (of course it did coz it came from CCL). Installation was a breeze (even for an old man like me with arthritic hands) and it worked straight out of the box - and has been working constantly ever since I fitted it. Has all the functionality I want (slightly more than I need right now but..) and all of the connections I DO need.

I love CCL, and over the past 4 years Ive bought so much from them. All the incentives are there, great prices, great postage and a great company. This will certainly not be the last time I buy from them, they are amazing!

The latest chipset is the B550. This boards has SPDIF output which is why I went for it

Great Mobo for the money, plenty of headers for you needs, Quality i've reduced as I don't know if it was the mobo or the MSI software but I couldn't get the RGB to work through the mobo, I've used this mobo on 3 different client builds so that says alot about how good it is.
