If it isn't listed on the compatibility chart, it won't work. If it is, it may cause some issues to manage. I'd skip it. Even the slowest Ryzen 3s from Zen+ and 2-series models are much better than Asus, and used ones often sell for under $50, sometimes even with warranty coverage.

Many of those chips have been removed from the compatibility roster. After updating the BIOS on my B450 board for the 5000 series, I found most Athlon models no longer supported. For a motherboard that really needs an AM4 chip with built-in graphics, a 3400g would be a major improvement over any Athlon variant. A B550 or A520 board might also support the 3400g, but you should verify the specific list for your board.

No, that's for the older sockets. Also if you plan to game on the system, I would not recommend. This is a overview of what CPU's that's compatible with AM4: Heres a list of AMD CPU's with onboard graphics: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_AM...ics#Lynx:_"Llano"_(2011) @Suryakant Venkateshwaran Try being more helpful or maybe don't answer the question if you don't know.

These processors have been removed from support because they are essentially outdated designs from 2013, originally included in integrated AM4 systems. They perform poorly for most tasks and should be avoided.
