Need a amd athlon 200ge

[Spacogic]

I have a asus prime a320m-k motherboard purchased in 2019 and I recently bought amd athlon 3000g. But my motherboard does not have the bios to be able to run it so I need a 2000 series amd processor to update the bios and my local market does not have any. SO PLEASE HELP

Is there a repair shop in the area that offers a BIOS update service?

 

Otherwise, you might consider returning the CPU and going for an Athlon 200GE. There's not much difference in specs, and the only real feature you're losing is CPU overclocking (which A320 doesn't have access to, save for some specific models)

What did you have in that board previously then? can't you swap that CPU back in and update the BIOS?

Rather than spending money on another CPU, just go and buy a B450 or B520 motherboard for that amount.

The next best thing is ryzen 1200 + a gpu (borrow from friend).

Well there's no way to update the BIOS of this motherboard unless you have a compatible CPU. You can either get a new motherboard or a new CPU, but I think the motherboard would be a lot less expensive.

 

You could look for a used 200GE on eBay but I'm not sure what country you're buying in and if there would be options for you

How exactly do you expect people to help with this?

Ahh OK, so you had a new board sitting around for 3 years. I can't understand why anyone would do that, but each to their own.

I have a very little money and asked my dad to buy me the processor back then which was amd ryzen 3 2200g he said yes but he didn't back then it was very cheap but now it is not even available. But no worry dude I just bought a new motherboard which supports 3000 series.
