Hello! I bought an ASRock AB350 Pro 4 board from a friend and learned it only works with 2nd gen Ryzen processors. I’m eager to improve my PC building skills after setting up an HP Elite 8300 SFF gaming rig. After some research, I found out that B350 boards are compatible with 3rd gen Ryzen chips. I don’t want to buy a new CPU only to find it won’t fit. I’m still getting the hang of CPUs and chipsets, especially AM4 and Ryzen. Can this motherboard support all Ryzen models? Also, how does the chipset influence compatibility even if the socket matches? Thanks!

b350 is compatible with the AGESA standard for Zen 2 through a BIOS upgrade (beta version included). Yes, it can handle it. Edited July 24, 2020 by TofuHaroto
