A few weeks ago, there were indications that manufacturers would allow support for the Ryzen 9 3950X processor on A320 chipset motherboards. Now we get the information that Biostar is the first to confirm it.
Biostar confirms that the Rzen-9 3950X will work on their A320 motherboards.
Motherboard manufacturer Biostar announced that it will extend support for the upcoming 16-core Ryzen 9 3950X to its cheapest motherboards based on AMD’s entry-level A320 chipset.
Support for the processor will be complemented by a UEFI firmware update, which should soon be available on the company’s website and can be downloaded from the support section of each motherboard product page.
This is great news and hopefully, other manufacturers will make a similar decision. Apparently the chipset and the selected motherboards can easily support this powerful Ryzen 9 3950X processor with 16 cores and 32 AMD threads.
Biostar’s list of motherboards that support the 3950X includes almost the entire AM4 motherboard series with A320, B350, X370, B450, B450, X470 and X570 chipsets. A BIOSTAR spokesperson confirmed that it was not a typo on the company’s website.
We will see how convenient it is to use a high-end processor on a low-end motherboard, and what limitations this can entail. The Ryzen 9 3950X should be available in November. We will keep you informed.
