Question (2022) Does Asus Ex-A320M Supports Ryzen 3 3200G Without Updating the Bios?

[lex003]

Hello, I bought an Asus Ex-A320M Gaming motherboard and It has an AMD 3000 series ready on the box and I check the last 4 digits of the barcode on the motherboard and it is 5605.
I want to know if this motherboard supports Ryzen 3 3200G without updating the bios.

Thank you for you answers.

The motherboard needs BIOS version 4801 (or newer) installed to be compatible with that CPU.

I am not sure what 4 digits you are referring to. You could upload a picture to a site like imgur.com and then post a link here for us to take a look at.

Do you have the CPU and have you tried installing it?

I don't have the CPU yet. I'm still planning on buying a CPU that is compatible with my current motherboard.
Do you have an idea on what CPU is compatible with Asus Ex-A320M without updating bios and have Radeon Graphics?

I read that you can check the bios version of your motherboard by looking at the last 4 digits of the barcode located on your mobo. And it says on the box that it is 3000 series ready. I just want to make sure that Ryzen 3 3200G is compatible with this motherboard.

Well, then according to ASUS guide BIOS installed on this motherboard is 5605 (date 2021/03/05) which means it should work fine with 3200G.

@DRagor, do you happen to know if this is commonplace across manufacturers?

I had read something similar to this in passing and never really checked or gave it credence. Sure would simplify troubleshooting for a lot of people.
I appreciate your reply, good info.

As I recall at least several mobo manufacturers do (or used to do) this. But of course each one of them does it in different way, so its usually good deal of googling for each individual case.
