    I have recently purchased a AMD Ryzen 5 3600 CPU and was wondering whats the best motherboard for it that doesn't require any bios upgrades and works straight away with it?

    Any A520, B550 or X570 will be compatible out-the-box.

    Apparently a few online retailers will update the bios for you before the board leaves....not 100% sure I am comfortable with that as you could get returned stuff etc...but its good if you are unsure or unwilling to do it. CCONLINE are one of the sites AFAIK.

    Got the same processor and have TUS Gaming X570-Plus board

    But depends what your requirements are...

    pretty much any board with the B450 with "Max" attached to the name, these boards will come ready for Ryzen 3600 and above.

    As Kiki says get a B550 and be ready for Zen3 in a few months time, while supporting your 3600 CPU for a long time to come

    btw 3600 rocks as a CPU , but make sure you buy the fastest DD4 you can afford as it benefits Ryzen massively

    This is compatible and perfectly fine for a standard build.

    Practically all b450, a320 boards will have updated bios by now as well. 3000 series has been out ages now.
