Ryzen 9 9950X32D support confirmed by three motherboard makers

AMD’s Ryzen 9 9950X3D2 launch was quickly followed by motherboard vendor support updates. GIGABYTE and ASRock both published announcements today confirming BIOS support for the new AM5 processor, while MSI has begun listing 9950X3D2-related BIOS updates across its AM5 lineup and highlighted support on two flagship X870E boards.

GIGABYTE says its new AMD AGESA 1.3.0.0a BIOS adds full support and performance tuning for the Ryzen 9 9950X3D2 Dual Edition across its AM5 800 Series and 600 Series motherboard lineup. The company also says it had already introduced AGESA 1.2.8.0 into mass production in mid-January, which allowed both 800 Series and 600 Series boards to boot with the chip ahead of launch.

ASRock made a similar announcement (actually, as you probably recall, they announced 9950X32D support a week before AMD, oops). Now they are stating that their AM5 motherboards fully support the new processor through the latest BIOS update. Its validation list is broad, covering X870E, X870, B850, X670E, B650E, B650, B650M and A620 series boards, with most entries listed on BIOS versions 4.03, 4.04, or 4.10 depending on model.

MSI has not posted a matching press release, at least not one that was easy to locate through its website today. However, MSI Gaming said the Ryzen 9 9950X3D2 is supported on the MEG X870E GODLIKE MAX and MEG X870E UNIFY-X MAX, and MSI motherboard support pages for several AM5 models already show BIOS notes referencing an “Optimized OC solution for Ryzen 9 9950X3D2 Dual Edition.” Do note, that GODLIKE and UNIFY-X are MSI’s most expensive motherboards, hopefully that’s not the only board they optimized for this CPU.
