Only compatible boards feature BIOS Flashback, a rare capability.
Only if the case indicates "Ryzen 3000 support" should you consider this. If it was made late in the B350 line, it may still back up Ryzen 2000... but the B350 stopped production when Ryzen 3000 arrived. You'll likely need to:
- Purchase a previous-generation Ryzen model (like via AMD's return program)
- Use a newer motherboard that comes with Ryzen 3000 support from the start
You can use an older AMD CPU, like the FX 8300. It should work fine.
It's not suitable for an AM4 board. You'll need a Ryzen 1000 or Ryzen 2000 processor. You can either visit a store to have it upgraded (which might be free or cost something) or follow the support guide at the provided link.
