I would double check if the board supports bios backflash

Most of these boards will allow you to update the bios without a CPU installed

There could be a usb port (like on mine) that is labeled bios or b-flash plugging a usb stick into that port with the bios update may allow you to update the BIOS

Hello team,

I'm trying to commission an older AM4 motherboard for a new Ryzen CPU I've ordered, but I was pre-warned that the BIOS doesn't support the newer CPU's out-of-the-box!
Does anyone have a basic Ryzen CPU I could borrow/purchase cheaply, just to get over this hump and get my new fancy box running?!
The mobo in question has the following CPU compatibility chart .. FYI I've got the Ryzen 5500 coming :) ..
