Actually, the BIOS updates of the B 450 and X 470 – Mainboards for Zen 3 (Vermeer) only at the beginning 2021 follow, because the priority first have the current B 550 – and X 570 – motherboards. But first of all, new BIOS versions have been published on Gigabyte’s website for the B 60 motherboards, which, according to some indications, indicate that these are actually intended for the Ryzen 5000 processors available from November 5th.

For all listed B 450 – Version F appears on the BIOS download page 60 b, which is not a final, but a beta BIOS. “Enhance CPU compatibility” is always stated as a change, which initially cannot be interpreted as a clear indication of the support for the Zen 3 processors. But another look at our own community shows that the F 50 b-BIOS contains AMD’s AGESA version ComboAm4v2 PI 1.1.0.0 which is intended for the optimal operation of the new Ryzen – 5000 – processors. Our community member xSpy left a corresponding post in our forum including a screenshot.

Below we have the corresponding BIOS updates for the Gigabyte-B 450 – Mainboards linked:

• B 450 M S2H V2: F 60 c
• B 450 M DS3H V2: F 60 c
• B 450 M S2H: F 60 c
• B 450 M DS3H: F 60 c
• B 450 M DS3H WIFI: F 60 c

• B 450 AORUS PRO: F 60 c

• B 450 I AORUS PRO WIFI: F 60 c

is questionable whether Gigabyte accidentally released the BIOS versions, or whether this was intended in consultation with AMD. Furthermore, it remains open – provided AMD has given the green light – whether the other well-known motherboard manufacturers will follow suit and also consider the X 470 models in the near future. Should we have any news about this, we will update this news accordingly.
