My board supports Picasso Ridge, but I’m not sure if it’s the third, second, or first generation Ryzen model.
Picasso Ridge isn't the third generation. For details on what a Picasso Ridge CPU is, see this link: https://en.wikichip.org/wiki/amd/cores/summit_ridge
I found a BIOS for my motherboard on the manufacturer's site, showing Ryzen 9 there. It seems to be compatible with the third generation.
It’s likely some a320 models received bios updates, though I didn’t catch any for your particular setup. Additionally, the second generation Ryzen 9 might have been included to add support.
Wait...MSi mentions the A320M PRO-E supports Ryzen 3000-series CPUs. Is there an error on MSi's side? @The General @Letgomyleghoe @zeusthemoose That said, I concur with others about placing a high power draw CPU on that motherboard. Still, the Ryzen 3100 or 3300X might be viable options too.
