Was wondering if the A6-8570 would be compatible with the B350/X370 motherboards?

It is an am4 socket apu but it's best you check the compatibility list of the motherboards you are looking at since it's a bit of an oddball. However why do you want this cpu? Is pretty terrible for everything basically.

No, Bristol Ridge APUs are the only suppoerted A series CPUs. They are 7th generation. Yours is 6th generation.

Just wanted to use it to update a bios and not have to wait on a loan kit

Do you already have the board? If not then why not just get a 400 series board as then you won't have to try to sell a weak apu that nobody wants.

I already have the board.

Check the motherboard's website to see which processors are compatible with it. This is the easiest way to establish whether it will work or not.
