#MSI B450 TOMAHAWK MAX UPDATE#
MSI will likely release a BIOS update for Ryzen 4000 soon after the new CPU series launches (or perhaps right on time for launch if we're lucky).

Initially, AMD announced that B450 boards wouldn't be getting support for Ryzen 4000, but soon after considerable backlash to that announcement they reversed their decision and re-announced that the B450 chipset would indeed be included in the Ryzen 4000 party. Yes, the B450 Tomahawk Max will support upcoming 4th gen Ryzen 4000 CPUs (which are set to launch either at the end of 2020 or in 2021). Will the B450 Tomahawk Max Support Ryzen 4000? (Zen 3) To be fair, plenty of people are using the original Tomahawk with 3rd gen Ryzen just fine, but the fact that so many people had issues means that buying the Max is a much safer buy (and especially so for future Ryzen 4000 CPUs). Therefore, getting a standard B450 Tomahawk isn't recommended for new Ryzen 3rd gen CPUs whatsoever - even if you do the BIOS update yourself, you could encounter issues either now like many others have, or down the road (due to the seemingly insufficiently-sized ROM chip).

If you're currently planning a build using a Ryzen 3rd-gen CPU like the 3600/X, 3700X, or 3900X/3950X, and you want the best bang for buck motherboard that's also high-quality, feature-rich, and good for overclocking, the MSI B450 Tomahawk Max is easily one of the best options out there right now.īut don't get it confused with the older, standard MSI B450 Tomahawk version (without the "Max" in the model).
