Question B550 with ryzen 3 3200g help

[RandomMushroom]

Hi everyone, i want to upgrade my current motherboard for a more recent one and this one is the best i could find to suit my needs B550M PG RIPTIDE which are:

Usb 3.2 gen 2 type A and C (to connect my huion tablet)
PCIE 4.0 (for my video card)

The thing is ive seen some videos from 1 to 2 years ago showing that b550 and ryzen 3 3200g dont go well together, is it solved now?


Current motherboard Asrock b450m pro 4f
Ryzen 3 3200g
Crucial ballistix 8gb x2 2666mhz (BL8G26C16U4B.8FD)
RX 6600 eagle

Are there other options around my budget? (170$)

Thanx!!!

Ryzen 3 3200g doesn't support PCIe 4.0, it only does PCIe 3.0 8x, not 16x, so that is a pointless upgrade without a new CPU. Though the RX6600 is also an 8x only card.

You should save your money and replace the CPU/Motherboard/RAM with something like a Ryzen 7600.

As a stop gap, consider getting a PCIe 1x 4x USB Type-C card.

Thanks man, is there some kind of compatibility I have to check before buying one of these cards?

Oh, the one I linked is actually a 4x card, not 1x. So it will have to plug into your remaining x16 slot. That should give you 20Gbps max speed 4x5Gbps at PCIe 2.0.

After that, should just be the drivers.
