If you were thinking of changing your motherboard to buy a new processor, wait because now MSI boards with chipset B350 and X370 they are already compatible with Ryzen 5000.
The information comes thanks to the medium wccftech, which has published that the MSI boards with B350 and X370 chipset are already compatible are Ryzen 5000 with its new bios. These bios are highly recommended whether you switch to a new Ryzen or not.
On the other hand, this new bios will make all Ryzen compatible with the new Windows 11, something that many users reported bugs. It should be clarified that not all Ryzen 5000 are compatible at the moment (we will have to wait if MSI releases a new BIOS update)
