Posted July 24, 2020 Hello! I picked up an ASRock AB350 Pro 4 motherboard from a friend and heard from him that the motherboard can only support up to 2nd gen Ryzens. I have decided that I wanted to expand my computer building skills and knowledge from my recent HP Elite 8300 sff gaming build. Upon doing some research, I read that B350 motherboards will support the 3rd Gen Ryzens. I’d hate to buy a nice new cpu only to have it not work out. I’m still a bit new to computers and am clueless about Ryzen and AM4 CPUs and chipsets. I have some experience with the am3 socket however. Can my motherboard support all Ryzens or not? And how does chipset affect compatibility even with the same socket? Thank you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Posted July 24, 2020 (edited) b350 does support the agesa code for zen 2 with a bios update (with a beta bios). so yes it can support it.

Posted July 24, 2020 Yeah, the ASRock AB350 Pro4 does support the current listings of Ryzen CPUs, with a BIOS update at least. https://www.asrock.com/mb/AMD/AB350 Pro4/#CPU Check out my guide on how to scan cover art here!
