Overview – BIOSTAR B350GT3 (AM4)
Socket: AMD AM4 — supports AMD Ryzen CPUs/APUs and older AMD 7th Gen A-Series/Athlon processors with Radeon graphics.
Chipset: AMD B350 — mainstream AMD chipset with good functionality and some overclocking capability (unlocked) for Ryzen CPUs.
Form Factor: Micro-ATX (244 × 238 mm) — fits most mid and compact PC cases.
CPU Compatibility
Supports AMD AM4 socket processors including:
1st Gen Ryzen, 2nd Gen Ryzen (e.g., 1000/2000 series)
3rd Gen Ryzen (e.g., 3000 series)
Ryzen APUs with Radeon graphics
AMD A-Series APUs and Athlon CPUs with Vega graphics
Actual compatibility (especially for 3rd-Gen or newer CPUs) depends on the BIOS version — you may need to update BIOS for some CPUs before use. (Check official Biostar support page for exact list.)
Memory (RAM)
4 × DDR4 DIMM slots (dual-channel)
Up to 64 GB total memory
Supports speeds up to DDR4-3200 (OC) and lower standard speeds (e.g., 2667/2400/2133/1866 MHz)
Storage & Expansion

Notes & Tips
Because the B350 chipset is older, newer Ryzen 3000+ CPUs (especially 5000 series) may require a BIOS update to boot properly — and some motherboards may not have updated BIOS available. Always check Biostar’s official CPU support page before buying.
Overclocking support is available on B350 boards, but results depend on CPU and cooling.
Quick Compatibility Summary
