is it possible to q-flash this motherboard (GA-A320M-S2H) I've found nothing on google about how to do it with this particular mb. The only issue is the cpu I have isn't compatible by default with the bios of the motherboard

The manual of this motherboard states it supports Q-flash, but it doesn't specifically mention being able to flash the bios without a (compatible) CPU installed.

Chances are the board you'll buy already has a Ryzen 3000 compatible BIOS.

 

But I would recommend buying B450 anyways, as you'll be limited by the 2 DDR4 slots in this motherboard. Being able to upgrade is a nice to have.

The MSI B450M PRO-VDH MAX would be a decent budget option and will have a Ryzen 3000 ready BIOS straight away. Good board for Ryzen 5 or lower.

yeah not buying this motherboard would have been the first step in the right direction but it seems im stuck with it now I've had an on going thread about my issues so far but the conclusion has been the bios been outdated which really sucks
