Do AMD still do loaner CPU's for AM4 BIOS upgrades?

Hi.

I'm just wondering if AMD still do loaner CPU's for AM4 BIOS upgrades? I emailed support asking about this but got a load of nonsense from someone in India.

I bought a 2nd hand B350 that is on a low BIOS release and I want to use a 200GE with this board.

I doubt they'd do it for a used motherboard, might be able to get a 1200 or bristol ridge cpu cheap.

I can't believe they did this in the first place. Big-up AMD for that!

Intel have never had to do this, they just have a new motherboard required for every new CPU!

Well every other. But yeah, that's true.

Still a great service.
