So who is a little ticked AMD ended support for 300/400 series mobos for their zen 3 release? Luckily I got an X570 board last year for my 3600 build, but I considered a B450 board to save a few bucks too. Know someone with a B450 board who is pretty pissed, they have a 2700x and now pretty upset cant go higher than a zen 2 chip.

AMD gave a really weird reason for not supporting at least 400 series boards too with the bios "not being big enough" to add the CPU support for zen 3.

Pretty Intel-esque move by AMD to say they will support AM4 socket for 4 years then basically forcing people with the first 2 year boards to upgrade anyways to get zen 3 support still on AM4. Interesting to see if they go back on this and at least support B450/X470 boards.

Ryzen 1 came out in 2017 right? I mean that’s still 3+ years of support of CPUs on a single socket.

BIOS chips do have size limitations. I’m not too upset about it.

B450/X470 essentially supported 3 entire CPU cycles.
