MSI updates their AM4 lineup to support Raven Ridge

New CPUs come out in April. So it's nice to see MSI are already on top of it hopefully that means we have good support and no bugs on launch day unlike last launch
 
Is there a way to flash the bios on an AM4 board if the your raven ridge CPU is unsupported by the current bios?

So say you buy a new AM4 board and raven ridge CPU, but the current bios version on the board doesn't support the new CPU, is there an easy way to update the bios if you don't have a supported CPU?
 
Some boards you can just plug in a USB drive into a specific port and it will flash it. Not all boards have it..

You could go in to a shop and ask them to flash it or borrow a CPU so you can flash it too

If I personally was going to buy a new board I would contact the etailer to make sure it came with the latest bios installed :)

Which is a travesty in this day and age. That's a feature that should be utilized on all motherboards considering the potential importance of BIOS updates.
