MSI B450 Tomahawk + Ryzen 3700X?

So, I'm looking to build a new PC now that the Ryzen 3000 series is out, and I've kind of settled on a combination of a B450 Tomahawk and a Ryzen 3700X as what I want to go with. However, I've seen a bunch of reports from people saying they couldn't get their 3rd gen Ryzen CPUs to work on a Tomahawk, even with the updated BIOS, which has made me pretty concerned about how good of an idea this is.

I guess I'm just making this thread to kind of get an idea of how much of an issue this actually is. Does anyone here already have a Ryzen 3rd gen CPU running on this board? Did you have any issues getting it to work?

I have this setup and had zero problems. Flashed V17 bios and then V18 bios using bios flashback.

Some people have had issues with flashing BIOS on MSI this week, hopefully that'll get fixed soon. They do have the best B450 boards.
