    Better to upgrade at that point, you're missing out on so many features with an ancient motherboard like that.

    I am happy with that because if you have a vacation home you put the old stuff there and it's still way better than playing on a laptop which depreciates like a delorian :) I will be putting some second hand ryzen 5 5600x when they appear :).

    And what are those "many features"? PCI-E 4.0? Regarding GPU search on youtube "pci-e 3.0 4.0 benchmark", there are plenty gpu tests and all of them show marginal difference in performance in almost every game tested. Regarding SSD it doesn't really matter, you will only see difference in syntetic benchmarks.
    Maybe you're thinking about performance gained with Alder Lake CPUs? Guess what, DDR5 memory is expensive and so are motherboards on Socket 1700, you need to think about performance/price.
    What are those other "many features"? Because I can't think of any more than those two.

    A bit strange that several companies are updating their bios for X370,B350 and A350, before updating their newer motherboards with X570 and B550.

    Gigabyte released today the bios update for my B550.
    So I can't complain any more. :D

    All that's missing now is the will to flash it, and spend the time setting up the bios again.

    I have a lot of things to configure in my bios. I have a lot of tweaked things.
    Every memory timing, impedances, fan curves, etc...
    And I'm feeling a bit indolent today :D

    So far Gigabyte, Biostar, ASrock and MSI have published support for older gen chipsets. MSI providing the best support as far back as the B350 chipset, which I respect a lot. And where is Asus in all of this? I would like support for my B350f!

    Or is it the rom size that is the problem? Even so, how did the other companies overcome the problem? Cut support for older gen cpus!
