Gigabyte has already made AMD X470 and B450 boards compatible with Ryzen 5000

Despite the previous announcement, Gigabyte was the first motherboard manufacturer to release BIOS updates based on AGESA Combo-AM4 1.1.0.0 microcode for motherboards with X470 and B450 chipsets. This has ensured they are compatible with the latest AMD Ryzen 5000 processors based on the Zen 3 architecture. By January 2021, all manufacturers intend to do the same for the 400 series chipsets.

The speed of the update release is good news because AMD requirements allowed providing preliminary support by January 2021. But now owners of older Gigabyte motherboards looking to upgrade their systems will have the opportunity to prepare for the Ryzen 5000 launch even before they start shipping on November 5th.

You can download the F60c BIOS update for Gigabyte B450 motherboards using the following links:

  • Gigabyte B450M H ;
  • Gigabyte B450M S2H ;

  • Gigabyte B450M DS3H ;

Regarding the X470 chipset, the F60c BIOS update can be downloaded for 5 Gigabyte motherboards:

Interestingly, on the official website, the pages with the lists of processors supported by the listed motherboards have not yet been updated, and the description of the F60c firmware simply mentions improved compatibility with the CPU, without specifics regarding Zen 3.

The first benchmarks in SiSoftware Sandra, Geekbench, PassMark, and CPU-Z give an idea of ​​the performance of the new processors and are encouraging, but they should be taken with caution – after November 5, full reviews will appear.
