[SOLVED] GIGABYTE GA-A320M-S2H compatible with Zen 3?

[rcald2000]

I have a friend that runs a R7 1700X on this Gigabyte A320 board. I'm aware that on it's BIOS support page, there is no mention of Zen 3, but I'm wondering if any owners out there have successfully run the Ryzen 5 5600X on it. I've read that a few articles about people successfully running Zen 3 on other board makers motherboards, and wondered if anyone had experience running it on this particular board.

If it is not supported, no, that will not happen.
And it is not.
currently, only B550, X570 and A520 are 5000 compatible with B450 and X470 support coming in january.
B350 and X370 are rumoured to support it since the chipset is almost identical to B450 and X470 with minimal changes, so motherboard manufacturers can probably backport it, even though it is not officially supported by AMD, but again, rumored, It may not be possible, or motherboard manufacturers might just not care enough to try.

A320 is almost 100% not getting any support.

No support for your board or any 3XX boards.
You need a 4XX or 5XX board the BIOS updates are already out for those to use a 5XXX processor.

GIGABYTE GA-A320M-S2H compatible with Zen 3?
Anyone know if this mother supports 5600G with the last bios version? AGESA version is update to ComboV2 1.2.0.3B. Thanks!

Hello tallernetfe. I do not know the answer to your question yet. But I sincerely thank you for your inquiry, as I too recently noticed the new BIOS update posted on 2021/09/30 for GA-A320M-S2H (rev. 1.x) rev. 2.0 rev. 3.x. Therefore, I've submitted this exact question to Gigabyte e-support. Their response estimate is 3-7 days and I will promptly share it here with you and the rest of the community. Cheers.

Hey, I just updated my a320m-s2h to the most recent bios (f54e) and when I add the ryzen 5 5600x my pc will run but I can’t get any display? When I add my previous processor in the display turns on. Any advice on what I should do?

For 5600x you need T54e version, not F54.
