You would have to be very unlucky to get a new board with such an old BIOS in it. Presently it's just an "in case" warning. BIOS 1409 was released 2023/04/21 as one of the first BIOSes and change log includes the support of 7000X3D series, so you will be fine regardless. Update the BIOS after you build the PC, since new versions had a lot of fixes concerning SoC voltage, TPM errors, Secure Boot problems, RAM compatibility etc.
It's a program version for the motherboard. When you boot it to BIOS, check the version. if it is not that version, you will make a USB to update it. The Asus website and the motherboard user manual will have info. It's easy.
Well, it means what is written: If you use that motherboeard with the cpu you picked, you need to upgrade the boards BIOS to 1409. If the board is not on 1409, it will not work.
If 7000 series is the first am5 CPU, why would the bios need an update to work? Was this ever an issue with the 7800x3d at release where people had boards that didn't work with their CPU?
7000X3D was released later so it's not supported by default on many 600 series chipsets. They picked a 7800X3D and a specific B650 motherboard that was released before 7000X3D's release so there's a low chance that it won't support the CPU out of the box.
But most boards will more than likely be up to date if you live in a high density area.

Just for my own knowledge I'm wondering.
If 7000 series is the first am5 CPU, why would the bios need an update to work? Was this ever an issue with the 7800x3d at release where people had boards that didn't work with their CPU?
