[SOLVED] Is it possible to make my motherboard compatible with my CPU

[Keegoo]

I am building my first PC and the graphics card and the processor I need are out of stock so I bought this cheap APU. It's a AMD Athlon 3000g. I then found out my motherboard doesn't support it. I have a Gigabyte Aourus A520M Elite with 8GB of ddr4 ram, 500w 80+ PSU, and the AMD Athlon 3000g. Does anyone know any way I can make my motherboard compatible? Some people just say I need to update my BIOS to support integrated graphics. They both have the same socket.

CPU support list says you are out of luck.

Some people just say...

Ask them for specifics.

If they can't produce a detailed list of procedures, and actual video proof of it working...they are blowing smoke.

So there is nothing I can do? Like a BIOS update?

Unless you can discover actual verified procedures along with a valid official BIOS, no.

(and said items would be on the manufacturers website)
