WTB: Cheap 2nd or 3rd gen ryzen for bios update.

[Ikasu]

Title says it all. Just got my 5950x, and my X570-Pro from asus just happens to be one of the models without bios flashback -_-. So here I am. Looking to get my hands on a 2nd or 3rd gen cpu that is on this list.

Looking at a Ryzen 3 in order to keep costs as cheap as possible. PM with price shipped and what you have.

That sucks.
Are there any local shops that could maybe help you out? Even if they won't do it for free it may be cheaper than buying another CPU.
Maybe you'll get lucky and there will be another [H]'er in your area that could help you out.

This is what I'd do, post on Craigslist or call one of the local, small computer shops (they barley still exist). Throw a $20 their way and 15 minutes later you're good.

Aren't you near a Fry's Electronics (or a microcenter)?
Pretty sure they both do BIOS update services for about 30-40$

Also have you looked into the CrashFree BIOS 3 option (see attached)? ~ not sure if that could be used to flash a newer bios
Never mind looks like it does require a compatible CPU to be able to flash it, thats dumb.
