msi b450 MAX series of boards come with the right bios for ryzen 3000 series and are much cheaper.

asrock b450 ac also comes with the right bios, has integrated wifi and is even cheaper.

on watercooling, I think watercooling a 3600 is a bit pointless. the price you pay on a decent 240mm cooler can be spent to upgrade o a 3700x or to upgrade the gpu.

I am planning to get a ryzen 5 3600 for my upcoming pc build. I realized that other chipsets besides the x570 chipset needs a bios update to be compatible with 3rd gen ryzens. I started looking for motherboards with built in wifi in it on pcpartpicker.com (i have no way to run my ethernet cable throughout the whole house) and found the Tuf Gaming x570 plus wifi, but it kept saying there was a warning a warning saying that my water cooler (evga clc 240) wasnt compatible with the motherboard. Do you know if the cooler is compatible with the motherboard, if not, Are there any other built in wifi motherboards compatible with ryzen 3rd gen that i can manually update the bios that you can recommend?

From what I can see PCPP is flagging the mounting frame out, but EVGA claims that the CLC 240 supports AM4 so I assume PCPP isnt up to date here.

i just figured out that the warning was saying that i need an am4 bracket. I thought it meant that the cooler couldnt fit on the board or something

the only reason im going with a water cooler is because i already have one so i might as well use it. although i could use the extra money from getting a cheaper board towards the cpu
