Compatibility question

[name1]

Is the Gigabyte GA-A320M-S2H motherboard compatible with the AMD Athlon 200GE? Without any BIOS installations. Cause this is going to be my first build, and I want it simple. Cause in PC part picker it says some A320M motherboards are incompatible.

anyways pc part picker says "Some AMD A320 chipset motherboards may need a BIOS update prior to using Raven Ridge CPUs. Upgrading the BIOS may require a different CPU that is supported by older BIOS revisions." so will the motherboard i listed work?

I am talking about the Gigabyte GA-A320M-S2H when I put it with the AMD Athlon 200GE in pc part picker it says "Warning! Some AMD A320 chipset motherboards may need a BIOS update prior to using Raven Ridge CPUs. Upgrading the BIOS may require a different CPU that is supported by older BIOS revisions."

You want a cheap and good B450 board. Dont do the misstake of buying a poor mobo.

 

I linked the cheapest good board.
