“The average AMD 400 Series motherboard has key technical advantages over the average AMD 300 Series motherboard, including: VRM configuration, memory trace topology, and PCB layers,” AMD said.
The company pointed to its original statement when Ryzen 5000 was released, which cites several technical issues. To be fair, AMD isn’t trying to be a Buzz Killington. After an outcry, AMD allowed beta support for X470 boards, but X370 is just a bridge too far for it. PCWorld reached out to ASRock and other board makers for comment as well and hadn’t heard back at, but WCCFTech’s Mujtaba found some willing to talk. “We did talk to a few manufacturers and they say that BETA BIOS support for AMD Ryzen 5000 CPUs on X370 motherboards is indeed possible,” Mujtaba said, adding, “AMD has restricted them from even a BETA release.” That was when it was thought to be a homebrew UEFI instead of an official, but beta, BIOS. Customers of these motherboards are advised to upgrade to a newer motherboard with a compatible BIOS.” If that sounds familiar, it’s the same thing AMD told Paul Alcorn of Tom’s Hardware in December when the BIOS began making the rounds.
When asked for comment, a company spokesman told PCWorld: “AMD has no plans to enable or support the AMD Ryzen 5000 Series on AMD 300 Series chipsets. AMD has been genrous with CPU support, but it doesn’t look like X370 will ever officially see Zen 3 support.
