ryzen 3 3100 with cheap a320m?

[maharshi1234]

I am a noob. i may be wrong. I am planning to buy 3100 this week. But what if i buy a a320m motherboard? I mean they are cheaper than b450. Other than the future proof, what is the advantage of b450 over a320

Theres not too much different but the B450's have oc & are generally better boards, better quality.

The B450 has OC features for cpu the A320 does not.

yes but they will be outdated in 2 years right

An a320 board likely won't have support for 3rd gen ryzen. Most B450 come with support for ryzen 3000 out of the box, A320 probably doesn't even have support for 3rd gen especially out of the box. So even if it does have support you'll need a 1st gen CPU or a boot kit from AMD to update the BIOS.

Sellers in my country update the BIOS and ship to us

I recently upgraded an A320 to b450. 

It will work fine and the cpu will boost as stock.

You can use the A320 and save moneys yes.

Yes but for my budget i can buy msi b450 pro m2 max. It is the cheapest b450. But i want to know the difference

I just told you, B450 has overclocking that the A320 doesn't. A320 does have support but MAY need a bios update. 

 

Yes, you can use an A320 fine. Or buy a B450.

But often times with the A320 the manufacturer won't come out with a BIOS

Yes but sellers in my regions will update the BIOS on our request.

Then yes, an A320 will be fine.

Thanks. Also there are good quality A320m and cheaper A320m. Will there be performance difference?

It's not about the sellers, the software doesn't exist for a lot of a320 boards to support 3rd gen.

I used Asus Prime A320M-K. It was good for running Ryzen 5 1400 and Corsair 3000mhz LPX memory. 

Recently retired it actually. Never had any issues with it.
