Crosshair VII (X470) Ryzen 4000 BIOS support?

[blueskies]

Hi,

what's the position of ASUS regarding Ryzen 4000 series support on the Crosshair VII? According to AMD, the reason for not supporting Ryzen 4000 on X470 is lack of BIOS ROM space. This is obviously a non-issue on the Crosshair, as it has 32MB ROM. Is ASUS committed to providing BIOS upgrades for Ryzen 4000 series CPUs? Has ASUS contacted AMD about this problem? As a customer who purchased a Crosshair VII a few months ago (and paid extra for the 32MB BIOS ROM), I would expect the ability to eventually upgrade to Ryzen 4000 if at all technically possible.

Thanks!

It looks like the hitch is that Pre-4000 cpu's can't read past the 16MB rom size. So, if you have a 32MB rom(like C7H), once you update to 4000, you can't drop back.

Here is their updated statement:

I'm not sure how Asus is going to handle it- full 32MB code, or just do 16MB and nuke everything else. MSI is certainly happy, since they get to avoid a class action lawsuit for the MAX hardware they sold.

Will the Flashback for CH7 not work? So I will not reload the old bios version?
