I thought this was a taboo.
But apparently not. Gigabyte released a Bios for their ultra-budget GA-A320M-S2H and GA-A320M-H mainboards (all revisions) adding support for Ryzen 4000 and 5000 series CPUs.
Yes, finally I can upgrade to a Ryzen 5950X to use with my cheapo mainboard featuring a 3 phase VRM and no heatsink.
Links: GA-A320M-S2H | GA-A320M-H
Description of new Bios:
Update AGESA ComboV2 1.2.0.3 B Add compatibility for processors support----------------------------------
EDIT: The V2 version of GA-A320M-S2H also got the update. This board actually has a B350 chipset despite its name!
-
Hot damn. That's amazing. They had the balls to release this officially, not just under-the-table like Asrock did. I hope Gigabyte does this for more of their older boards, and for other manufacturers to follow suit.

B350/X370 owners in suicide watch.
ID: hhylfpqID: hhzjzpvX370 gaming K7 still waiting.
-
Me sitting here on x370 and nope cant do it
ID: hhxieplIt's a bit surrealistic what AMD is doing to b350/x370. If manufacturers want to update their bios, let them. If AMD is worried about a bad experience, well, that's what I have with this lock.
To think that the only reason I got 1gen Ryzen was to support AMD "good" practices and long term "socket "support..
ID: hhxvcl3I think it's all about greed/money. They want to force people to buy a new AMD mobo.
-
Didn't AMD ban this kind of update for the 300 series motherboards?
ID: hhyo146Maybe they've reversed their decision? People on 300 series might be tempted by Alder Lake if it has a good price-performance ratio, allowing them to upgrade to 5600x/5800x without changing motherboard might prevent that. I guess we just have to wait and see whether other motherboards will receive similar updates.
ID: hhyx8t4This. If I have to change the mobo, adl it is
ID: hhzcud7Yup, sitting on a GA-AB350N-Gaming WIFI. If I can upgrade to a 5800x with same setup I will be doing just that. No need for alder lake then.
ID: hi0jshdSo if amd could do at it anytime they wanted, why didn’t they? Sounds anti- consumer don’t you think
-
Why not for B350 and X370 as well? And why other vendors like ASUS and MSI not updating theirs 300 series lineup?
-
Hope for Asrock magic bios get start for my taichi x370.It will run perfect with agesa 1.2.0.3
-
Amazing. Makes me crazy I'm stuck here on a 1800x and x370. Le sigh
ID: hhyjo06Just buy a second hand 3000 series, that's what I did, 1700 to 3900x on a msi x370 gaming pro carbon, it's at stock, but the performance boost is incredible
ID: hhyn7ojSecond hand 3000 is too overpriced
ID: hhzzd47Problem is that even used it's nearly the same price as the 5000 series. Crazy talk

*Crying with my Gigabyte GA-AB350M-DS3H V2*
Last bios update was F51 for me...
ID: hhxnkq3We can thank AMD for that one.
Asrock issuing that beta bios update for their x370 boards with zen 3 support was a good thing, but then AMD decided we shouldn't be allowed to run our CPU's on boards that are the equivalent of their x470 counterparts because then they make less money selling chipsets, just like intel.
Funny how fast they changed their tune after getting on top.
ID: hhy6e0lWatch as locking down ram and overclocking functionality becomes a industry standard and you have to buy x70 or z90 series boards and specific cpus to get the functionality back
ID: hhy7rqzAMD decided we shouldn't be allowed to run our CPU's on boards that are the equivalent of their x470 counterparts because then they make less money selling chipsets, just like intel.
It has nothing to do with selling chipsets. Chipsets will be sold in bulk to OEMs with little or no margin to keep the BOM down. All the profit margin will be on the CPUs themselves.
AMD locked out the 300-series boards because they're paranoid about their brand perception and reliability record. They don't want any more boost clock or black screen debacles.
ID: hhyxil5Funny how fast they changed their tune after getting on top.
This was obvious. But /
is loaded to the brim with AMD fanboys who will swear to the end that their precious company would never wrong them...Same thing with AMD trying to axe X470/B450 support. The community was outraged, but you still had those idiots who were supporting AMD's decision and trying to justify it. (You must be mentally ill to be anti-consumer, and pro-business)
I cannot overstate how much of a toxic environment this sub-reddit is when AMD do something controversial.
ID: hhyz40xHey i have the same bios as you f51 broi have a question Are you able to overclock your cpu in bios? Or anything else? Basically all the settings are locked for me i cant hange them...
ID: hhz7bmuNot so sure about CPU, but i remember i tried to do overclock with my ram and it worked(kind of), i went from 3000 to 3200mhz but it failed after saving the settings and rebooting, i got black screen and no video, but yeah "it worked"
-
Man that sounds awesome. I just think that the ENTIRE AM4 lineup should be able to support every processor theoretically, just give the user some choice. Would I recommend running a 5900X/5950X on an A320? Probably no, but the fact that you can run it, that's just awesome. Now the turn for Mobos that don't support 5000 series.
-
Dude what.
Why A320 but no X370?
ID: hhyxegeIt WoNt RuN
-
Goddamn i sold my ga-a320m-h for 30eur
ID: hi0nlyuToo bad,you could put 5600x and enjoy all gaming glory.
-
I'm sorry Crosshair VI owners but these $60 budget boards are just built differently.
-
Asrock AB350 Gaming K4 here, pls give us a bios update! I don't need 5000 series support, just SAM.
ID: hi0nqrmDidn't you got beta?
-
Yes, finally I can upgrade to a Ryzen 5950X to use with my cheapo mainboard featuring a 3 phase VRM and no heatsink.
Cheap motherboards are perfectly fine for the vast majority of people. Most people don't overclock or have 16 core cpus.
ID: hhx6mxrIt's meant to be a joke
ID: hhxi593fun fact... you can still get rediculous performance matching a cheap mobo with an expensive cpu.
That being said, a top notch one, will perform better... but the difference may be less than people think

Cries and curses in Asus B350.
First ASRock (albeit beta), now even Gigabyte had joined in the party. What the hell Asus?!?
ID: hhy85tdIt was AMD's decision, not Asus. Hence why ASRock have never published anything official, only highly unofficial test builds leaked by an engineer to a forum. (and nothing beyond that)
ID: hhy97krYes, I'm very well aware that it was AMD's decision to cut the support off.
The thing is, according to Gamers Nexus report: Asus wants to move forward and leave behind Zen 3 support for their 300 series boards.
-
Wow now I can upgrade my trash R5 2600 to the R5 5600X!
-
Wait people buy those?
-
No love for my AB350N-wifi (mITX) yet... 🙁
ID: hhzd70eYeah GA-AB350N-Gaming WIFI ITX here too, I got quite excited for this. Would buy a 5800x in a second but can justify the cost, and waste, of new mobo. Especially if AM4 is basically end of life now.
ID: hi0zlseYeah I really don't need it right now but the option down the line would be nice as there's two b350s in this household.
-
is it posible to re-enable PCIe 4.0 suport on a PRIME B450M-A using the PRIME B550M-K bios? they both look the same. (bios) just need x1 PCIe 4.0 x8 (looks feasible)
-
Gigabyte > AMD
-
I bought two Ryzen 5000-ready B550s some time ago from Gigabyte and still had to update BIOS. Hope they fixed that.
-
Lmao I have this mobo and was thinking to update to a 5000 series, is it actually safe to do so? Cant it get "bottlenecked" by a mobo that cant even do overclocking?
-
If they add b350 I'll buy a 5600 TONIGHT
-
I wouldn't do it. The VRM will not be able to handle the heat generated from anything more than a 6 core. Even 6 core may be pushing it, you will need plenty of air flow in your case.
The bios was avaliable about 1 month ago.
There is a video running 3900x or 3950x on 320m, and the vrm is running at close to 100
-
Put a heatsink on VRM,simple.Airflow on board and apply slight undervolt.
-
Undervolt won't help the VRM, the VRM only cares about the current. Undervolt might even make the CPU draw more current (because at lower voltage, it can draw more current while maintaining the same PPT wattage). So you could even make the VRM hotter and more likely to fail.
The thing that would work would be using Eco Mode or manually lower PPT (watts permitted to be consumed by the CPU).
-
And where would you find a heat sink for the VRM?
How would you keep the heat sink on?
Not everyone live in shen Zhen, or silicone Valley.
-
the VRM doesnt need to handle the heat generated from 6 core. they only need to handle the heat generated while delivering current to a 65W cpu. which they already did in zen2 cpus.
Should be fine for 5600x, or even better Just turn off core performance boost and the VRM will power ryzen 5600x easier than running 3700x with performance boost turned on.
-
BS argument. At stock, the power produced by Ryzen 1600 and 5600X is exactly the same. They're capped at 88W socket limit.
-
Realistically there really shouldn't be any work done for A320 boards going to 5000 with all the old tech not utilizing the whole tech of the 5000 series. Especially when those boards are not as open as the B350 or X370 that still don't have support. And that board is 3 years old why the hell does it need to support a 5000 series chip?
-
Same this happened to Asrock "leak bios" they released for A320 board and then popup the other 300 series.
