How do I find the right BIOS update for my MSI B450M Bazooka Plus?
Asked by

I'm working on a build with my MSI B450M Bazooka Plus motherboard and I'm stuck trying to find the correct BIOS update. I've been told I need a .290 file, but every time I download it from the MSI website, I only get a .1H4 file after extracting. I need a BIOS update that supports the 5000 series CPUs but I'm completely lost. Any guidance would be greatly appreciated!

You can find the latest BIOS updates directly on the MSI support page for your motherboard. The most recent version is 1H4, and it sounds like your confusion comes from mixing up the file versions with extensions. The number you’re mentioning (.290) isn’t a file format; it refers to the versioning of the BIOS. Just download the executable that ends in .1H4 from the site, and you should be good to go!

To clarify, the version numbers you see are just that—version numbers. The files you’re pulling from the MSI site use versions like 7B90v1H4, which ends in .1H4. If someone told you there’s a version .290, they might be misinformed or just confused themselves. Stick with the latest version on the MSI website for your motherboard, and that’ll ensure compatibility with the 5000 series CPUs. Good luck!
