Question about Gigabyte X570 Aorus Master

Is it possible to update the BIOS without having an older generation CPU (Zen2) or can the BIOS still be updated after the 5900x (Zen3) has been installed?

This is possible in principle. On the master, as on most X570 boards, a BIOS update can be made without installing the CPU (quote from the Gigabyte homepage: Q-Flash Plus Update BIOS Without Installing CPU, Memory and Graphics Card).

However, this should be done BEFORE installing the new CPU, GPU, RAM (details under "Using Q-Flash Plus" in the manual). It might be a bit more unusual and complicated than a normal BIOS update, because the whole thing takes place in a blind flight.
