Hey,
So I have followed the directions here -> https://www.asrock.com/mb/amd/X370 Killer SLIac/index.asp#BIOS
I was at bios 3.10, so I had to go to 3.50,then 5.10, then 5.40 to get the 3700x going and I also updated the chipset drives through AMD's website, the asrock page above mentions updating the "AMD all in 1 with vga driver", but I don't run the onboard motherboard video, I have a 2070 super. I get it going, it's in, the 3700x is recognized in the bios, but it won't get past the "asrock" mobo splash screen. It just sits there. After waiting it won't let me use delete or f11 to get into bios so I have to ctrl alt delete to restart, can get into bios no problem again, check it. Still recognized. Restart again, same thing, stuck on splash screen.
I take the 3700x out, put the 1600 back in, boots up no problem here I am writing this forum post.
I could update the bios to P5.50 but that seems kinda risky. This warning is associated with that bios update *ASRock do NOT recommend updating this BIOS if Pinnacle, Raven, Summit or Bristol Ridge CPU is being used on your system. The P5.50 update also doesn't mention adding any additional stability,so I'm not sure what to do.
The R5 1600 is Summit ridge so I'm a little scared to go to that P5.50.
Last thing I would like to add is that with the 3700x installed, when I let it sit at the asrock screen for over a minute and then try to go into the bios with delete, it won't do it, it just sits there, but it lets me ctrl alt delete to restart just fine.
