A BIOS update unlocks Ryzen 5000 on the ASUS TUF GAMING B450-PLUS

The ASUS TUF GAMING B450-PLUS uses an AM4 socket and natively supports Ryzen 1st, 2nd, and 3rd generation chips, plus 4000 G-Series APUs. Ryzen 5000 support requires a BIOS update — a common retrofit for B450 boards that extended their relevance well past their original lifespan. A quick firmware flash and this board could jump from a first-gen Ryzen to a 5950X.
