WTB [WTB] Ryzen 3000 Series Loan for MoBo Update

[demon_slayer]

Hi,
I wanted to loan a Ryzen 3000 series processor for a few days for a Motherboard Bios update to support 5000 series.
I'll pay for back and forth shipping.
My location is Bangalore, so local deals are preferred.
I can deposit some security amount as assurance as well, which you can refund to me post you receive the processor back.

You can take the mobo to a reputed PC shop in SP road and get the job done. [Can take your own PSU and pen drive with bios file in it].

SP Road is I think around 20km from my places, was trying to avoid travel on these congested roads.

Edit: why I don't want to travel

Maybe this would be of use to you, or anyone reading this but I recently thought I needed a BIOS update on a B450 motherboard for a 5600G processor when in actuality I didn't — I just needed to wait 5+ mins for the first boot (while CPU post status led was blinking the entire time).

Maybe you mobo came pre flashed with latest bios ?

It had a 2021 BIOS, I later updated it. The packaging and manual didn't mention anything about 5000 series support, only 3000 series. So it was a surprise that it had a BIOS that supported 5000 series.

Which motherboard do you have?

I'm planning on buying a ASROCK B550M Steel Legend or ASUS Prime B550 Plus

Edit 8:48PM:
So I talked to mdcomputer customer support and they said that the latest manufactured board in their stock does not require a bios update and will work with 5000 series out of the box.
Hopefully, they know what they're saying.
So for now, @mods please close this thread.

To add confirmation, I bought two different Asrock B550 motherboards last year, they both had 5000 series support but not 4000 series (those had not been released at the time of manufacturing).

Even a320 motherboards we bought has out the box support for Ryzen 5000. Albeit 5600g.

I bought an Asus Prime B450M-A II for my son last year for use with a Ryzen 7 5700G. It needed a BIOS update to run a 5000 CPU but I could do it easily with the 5700G fitted. There was no POST display before the update but the update process doesn't need that.

I bought two more of the same motherboard model this year for my other son and for a nephew. These ones already had newer BIOSes and didn't need an update. I bought an Asus Prime B550M-K for myself last month. This one doesn't need an update either.
