I.m sure there were news that some companies add 5xxx support to x370 chipset. Not sure how many of them delivered anything.

- wtallis 5y agoIIRC, there were no motherboards at that time shipping with a large enough flash ROM to hold the microcode, etc. necessary to support every generation of CPU on the AM4 socket, so in practice supporting the Ryzen 5xxx processors would require a motherboard firmware update that removes support from some older processors—possibly the one you're using to prepare for the CPU upgrade. AMD decided that would be a support nightmare and instead opted to make CPU support somewhat loosely tied to chipset generation (beta BIOS versions excepted).
