Only upgrade I plan to do on this is the memory and a storage drive or two... because everything seems to want more damn memory.
While I suspect the same mother board in same system edition will likely be on the same BIOS version (that supports 5000 series chips). To be 100% sure, need someone who has it to check if DELL updated their BIOS for this particular system, any chipset with BIOS AGESA version (1.0.8.0 or newer) supports the Ryzen 5000 series CPUs, .

Now, unless they misprinted something, the Chipset is B550A
Says that on Page 13.
Also here's the service manual:

Oh, and tip for everyone: If you don't want an extra keyboard they'll try to stiff you with a cheapie for ~$6. Tell them you don't want to pay for a keyboard.

Also, even if you replace all with retail memory, the BIOS is very picky about which retail memory can run at 3200 MHz. Looks like it was done on purpose so that people would buy overpriced memory from Dell.

A few people [dell.com] have confirmed the above works at 3200 MHz.

If you want to run 32GB at 3200 MHz, buy the Crucial Ballistix 3200 MHz DDR4 DRAM Desktop Gaming Memory Kit 32GB (16GBx2) CL16 BL2K16G32C16U4B [amazon.com] and set BIOS to OC1.

But thanks for the tip! That'll save me some time
Man that set was below $100 on Amazon in December last year.
