AMD is looking at ways to make all Ryzen 5000 processors compatible with motherboards from the 300 series, more than a year after the launch of the processors.... AMD is striving to offer full compatibility with Ryzen 5000 on 300 Series motherboards.
Translation "here use our cpus on even on 300 series just dont upgrade to alder lake" What bios isnt an issue anymore?
Asrock is the 1st to have done bios upgrade aviable. (more motherboard compatible than MSI). The A320 with 11 vrm is gorgeous now it can accept 5900X and more for half the A520 (that bring nothing more and have less vrm).
I would seriously consider getting something like the 5800X if my X370 board were compatible. That CPU should be plenty good enough for a long while.
Asrock released beta bios with 5000 support back in December 2020. https://wccftech.com/asrock-amd-ryzen-5000-cpu-bios-support-on-x370-b350-a320-motherboards/ For the X370 Taichi, you need the 6.62 version because the 6.61 beta has a problem with running full PCI 16 lanes. AMD stopped the party, so they stayed in beta and is not showing up on the homepage.
How many mobos have actually good enough VRM ? . This was problem in the beginning ( also bios mem ).
