ASUS X370 motherboard can support Zen 3 architecture processors
AMD originally hoped that Zen 3 architecture processors could only be used on 500 series motherboards. After users and manufacturers strived for it, it was finally allowed to run on 400 series motherboards. However, AMD is determined not to include 300 series motherboards in the support list. AMD also has its own reasons for doing this. For example, the BIOS capacity of these early motherboards is too small, or the design is not necessarily suitable for the operation of Zen 3 architecture processors, and problems may be encountered during use.
At the end of last year, ASRock allowed its X370, B350, and A320 chipset motherboards to support AMD Ryzen 5000 series processors in the form of Beta BIOS. However, AMD does not support this approach of motherboard manufacturers, so not every motherboard manufacturer will provide support. Even with this type of BIOS, it can only be a Beta version.
This kind of operation does face a relatively large risk, not only cannot guarantee that all functions can work normally, and may even damage the motherboard. This operation also lacks user feedback for the time being, and I don’t know whether the system stability or motherboard functions are disabled. If you are not an experienced player with strong hands-on ability, the platform is relatively old and wants to improve performance, perhaps it is more reliable to directly purchase new products to upgrade.
