Hey everyone, I'm looking to buy the ASUS B650E Max Gaming WiFi motherboard along with the Ryzen 5 7500X3D CPU. I noticed that the CPU is set to release in December 2025, which is after the motherboard was launched. The website claims that the Ryzen 5 7500X3D is compatible with the motherboard as long as the BIOS is updated. Can anyone confirm if that's true?

If the ASUS website states it's compatible, you just need to make sure you update the BIOS before installing the CPU. It should work fine without any issues!

That sounds good! But do you know if I can update the BIOS without having a CPU installed?
