According to the CPU support list it's supported on the latest bios:
https://www.gigabyte.com/uk/Motherboard/GA-A320M-S2H-rev-1x/support#support-cpu

It's only a 65W cpu so should be fine.

They are based on the same socket(AM4) so there shouldn't be any problem.

Any thermal issue or performance loss?

Very dangerous assumption. Using the same socket does not guarantee compatibility. If in any doubt always check the supported CPU list.

There is a youtuber who has tested a range of cpu's on A320... no issues with any of the 65W parts.

Just keep in mind you have no overclocking or PBO support on A320 chipset so it's stock performance only.

In this case it is perfectly ok to use. However for future reference you cannot assume that just because the cpu socket is correct that they are compatible.
