this question is really for recommending AM5, and i cant predict the future but a not all but most will still make me recommend AMD AM5

 

i am the happy owner of a LGA 1155 motherboard and don't fell the need to upgrade

 

Then your answer is "Most 300-series motherboards support Ryzen 5000". Even my Biostar A320M-H.

to all the owners of 300 series chipsets, AKA B350 and X370 chipset, did these eventually get support for Ryzen 5000? i searched the net and the best i got was a "working with board partners". a yes and no will seriously change my recommendations for AMD because the only advantage they have is the platform, they even managed to loose the efficacy battle while being on a superior node ( idle power consumption and power consumption during lite tasks eg- typing which i am doing RN and windows updates)

Check the BIOS update page for the motherboard in question. AMD did not force all 300 series boards to support it, but most if not all non-OEM boards did get support through a BIOS update.

Do you own a board already? Most older 300 series boards have Zen3 support, yes, but its as simple as looking at the supported CPU's page for a particular board to confirm.

this question is really for recommending AM5, and i cant predict the future but a not all but most will still make me recommend AMD AM5

What exactly is the purpose of this thread then? 1155 so the newest that would be is like a 3770k from 10 years ago?

to find out if recommending AM5 makes sense.

thank you, can you tell me about your experience with bio star? i have avoided recommending them because i have never heard of them and i just end up paying the $10 ish asus premium for a equivalent MOBO

I really can't speak to their higher end boards - the A320M-H is an extreme budget board, and is best described as "it works", with surprising range of CPU's. I've run everything from Carrizo Pro to Cezanne on it. In theory it works with all AM4 CPU's (though it does involve changing BIOS's.) It was stable during 24/7 NAS duty.

 

I would buy them again for basic purposes, but still would prefer more mainstream boards for higher power or OC.

I was using 1155 up until the pandemic came and I lost my job.

 

But then I built a crazy AM4 rig to replace it. 

 

You are happy because you don't know what you are missing 🤫

 

Things have progressed greatly since my 3770K/Z77 OCFormula combo.
