Question Will a ryzen 5 3600 work with a ga-a320m-s2h mobo?

[illusineer]

upgrading my old pc's ram and cpu, I already got 2666mhz ddr4 ram and the mobo in the title, and im getting my cpu monday. I wanna know if my motherboard going to work with the cpu out of the box or do I have to flash a new bios and if so how? I got this board cuz it was the cheapest and don't really care about overclocking or memory frequency, but im also curious if it will fail early (2-4yrs) as it's the cheapest mobo I could find on ebay.

You will definitely have to update the BIOS.

Instructions can be found in the manual - http://download.gigabyte.us/FileList/Manual/mb_manual_ga-a320m-s2h_1001_v2_e.pdf

No. You will need a 1st gen cpu to update the bios.

I saw a video from science studio showing the 3900x in an a320 board. Vrms got very hot and the chip had to slow down. He said the board should be fine for a 3600.
