No need to brick one, I've been trying to get some help over on the bios-mods forum, one user said that the microcode for the 2600 (and I assume the rest of the ryzen CPUs) is in the BIOS from Asrock, so there has to be something else missing or blocking the use of the non APUs. I would still like to pursue a non warranty voiding move (ie. an official Asrock BIOS update). They also advised against cross-flashing a bios saying that it would be extremely unlikely to work, but thank you for the offer.Oh yeah, I went to a hardware retailer and paid the $20 to put my 2600 in test board they had to make sure I hadn't gotten my part DOA, and its not, just one more thing thats not the reason.
