Question Ryzen 3 1200 motherboard?

[trepasichki21]

Can i buy Asus Prime A320m-k Socket AM4, cuz im on low budged. There was something with the intel cpu's i think about the version of the mobo bios and there was something that had to be done with other better CPU if im not wrong. Can i use this motherboard

That motherboard will work just fine with the Ryzen 1200. If you do some bios updates it will even support the 2000 series and maybe the 3000 series as well.

I would recommend a B450. At least then you can do some mild overclocking. The prices are so close, that A320 should just be avoided. Going by pcpartpicker, there is only a $2 difference between that A320 board, and a Gigabyte - B450M DS3H. Also, unless you are getting that 1200 really cheap, spend the extra $11 on the 2200g. It's a bit faster CPU, even at identical clock speeds, due to lower cache latency, plus the IGP can be helpful should your graphics card die.

I was only wondering about the motherboard because as i said i've heard something about " compability " with the versions of the mother boards, im not really into these things. But one more time the A320 will work just fine after putting the GPU!? I can't sadly spend the bonus on the 2200G because the 1200 is already in my hands

It will work, but you really won't be able to get the full potential out of the CPU. This may help to explain the 300 series chipset differences, for you.

For the $2 difference, B450 is simply a far better choice.

I second logainofhades. B450 is the best choice.

How about a b350? will be cheaper and stills a first gen ryzen chip

Btw im pairing the r3 with rx580 anyways while this thread is still alive ill tell u my problem my pc is not booting at all no rgb u mouse no rgb to headphones keyboard. Case fans spinning black monitor screen its never turning on by any mean. After 2 dsys of trying the pc started to not boot at all after pressing the power button. After 5 days of trying the pc boots hits the moment when it shows the motherboare logo and stays black screen again. I cant turn off the pc by holding the power button i can only turn it off by switching off the psu.so i changed the psu not working again i tried with and without gpu still not booting. Any idea?

Sounds like bad motherboard, got a similar case in an old PC. A motherboard replacement should fix it, but i would build a newer PC if I were you.
