I feel like you have a fundamental misunderstanding of what's happening here, so I wanted to explain more even though Ray62 answered your question.
In order to POST, the BIOS on your motherboard must support the CPU you have installed. So people with Ryzen 3000 CPUs running 1st and 2nd gen motherboards needed to update the BIOS to a version that supports Ryzen 3000. And they can't do this with a Ryzen 3000 processor as the BIOS needs to POST to be able to run the flashing process (unless you have a board that supports flashback, but non of the 1st and 2nd gen ASRock do). So an older CPU that was supported is needed to update to a BIOS that supports Ryzen 3000. Once your motherboard has been updated to a BIOS that supports Ryzen 3000 and your motherboard can successfully POST, there is no more need for an older CPU.
