I contacted the reseller company about updating the BIOS, and they agreed to do it before shipping. Updating the BIOS should allow me to use the CPU, right? I’m sorry if my explanation came across as confused—I’m still figuring it out.
All AM4 processors are compatible with this board, but issues arise when the BIOS isn’t up to date. The 3200G was released after the B450 Steel Legend, meaning not every BIOS version supports it. Therefore, you can’t assume it will run out of the box, and a BIOS upgrade is likely needed. If the board was made after the 3200G launch, it should work without changes. Just avoid buying it for years before purchase. For older models, you might need to borrow a CPU or use AMD’s loaner program, or contact the manufacturer for a BIOS update through warranty. This means you can freely choose any CPU—from R3 1200 to 5900X, including the 3200G—on this platform.
The device works with all CPUs, but it hasn’t received an update on the day it was released, so you’ll need to install it yourself. I understand that.
