ASUS motherboards stand ready for the latest AMD Ryzen 7000 X3D CPUs

The proven gaming performance of the AMD Ryzen 7 5800X3D CPU made it a long-standing favorite for PC builders. ASUS motherboards gave those builders high-performance, feature-rich options for assembling a potent gaming machine built around one of these chips. Now, AMD is upping its game with two new Ryzen 7000 Series CPUs with AMD 3D V-Cache technology: the Ryzen 9 7950X3D and the Ryzen 9 7900X3D. Combining a 3D vertical cache and all the advantages of the cutting-edge X670 platform, these chips are poised to seize the gaming performance crown.

Once again, ASUS motherboards give PC builders the options they need to select the perfect board for their new AMD gaming PC. Since the new CPUs slot into the AM5 socket, they’re compatible with our full selection of X670E/X670 motherboards from our ROG Crosshair, ROG Strix, TUF Gaming, ProArt, and Prime motherboard lineups.

Before you make plans to build or update your PC for the new Ryzen 7000 Series CPUs, first ensure that your motherboard supports them. The latest firmware versions for our X670E and X670 motherboards support these new chips from day one. If you’re upgrading your existing system, update your BIOS to the latest version for the best possible experience.

Even if you’re buying a brand-new motherboard to accompany your new chip, you should check that it’s prepped with the latest firmware. We make every effort to ensure that our motherboards leave the factory with the latest updates installed. However, if you’re building a new PC shortly after the launch of these new CPUs, there is a chance that you may receive a motherboard from older stock without the necessary firmware. Use the chart below to locate the most recent BIOS version for your motherboard, and then update it to the latest BIOS and AGESA 1005 Patch C. If you need help updating your BIOS, check out our detailed step-by-step guide.
