[SOLVED] Ryzen 3 3300x with cheapest mobo

[Dh_Rafi]

I use Gigabyte a320 hd2 mobo with my ryzen 3 1200.
Looking for a cpu upgrade, is it okay to run R3 3300x on that motherboard.
Real tight budget, so mobo upgrade will be very difficult 😖
Purpose: FPS gaming only.
Gpu: gtx 1660 OC
Ram: 8x2 GB 3200hz

it will work. you will need to make sure that you have BIOS version F40x or newer to support that CPU.

follow manuals instructions to update the BIOS to the proper version before installing the new CPU.

Your current board supports the 3300X with BIOS version F40x.

If the board does not have VRM heatsinks, it does not need them for the CPUs it is intended for.

Does stock cooler enough for 3300x ??
As i saw on review it gets so hot !

The stock cooler is good enough for stock operation, it is what the warranty is based on. Aftermarket HSF are only necessary if you want to overclock either manually or using PBO.
