[SOLVED] Ryzen 5 5600G and Asus Prime A320M-K

[Pimpom]

I've been considering a budget general purpose PC based on a Ryzen 5 5600G for some time and have just seen a used one in a forum at a good price (considering current prices). The only AM4 motherboard I have access to for testing it is an Asus Prime A320M-K in my nephew's computer. But the Ryzen 5 5600G isn't on the list of supported processors.

Can anyone confirm that the mobo is really not compatible with the 5600G or is it possible that Asus simply hasn't got around to updating the list yet?

AMD put the squash on supported BIOS updates for 5xxx on 3xx chipsets. There are some Beta and user created BIOS out there that supposedly work for the 5600, but not sure about the G skew.

If it's not listed on the CPU supported list of said motherboard, it's not supported. Using the board or the APU as a guinea pig scenario isn't a good idea either, given the world we're living in right now. you should look into a B450 chipset motherboard or ideally a B550 chipset board.

As per the asus web site the answer is no.
You can contact asus and see if they have more info.

Thanks for the quick replies. The idea was to test the APU on the Asus board under a "testing warranty" by the seller and, if it's OK, to order a suitable new mobo, not the same Asus model.
