I M CONFUSED

[JustHunterM8]

I have been told that ryzen 3000 doesnt work on a B350 MoBo, but i was looking at the compatibility of my MoBo which is the MSI B350M PRO-VDH, and on the list it practically listed all the ryzen CPU's plus some Athlon ones as well. I looked at it and i thought maybe they made a mistake but when i searched "Do B350 motherboards support 3rd gen ryzen" I saw a few articles saying that it does. 

So instead of continuing google searches i wanna ask this forum cause generally the info here is very accurate.

So the question is, if i install a Ryzen 5 3600 in my B350M PRO-VDH, would it work?

you need to bios update first. but that motherboard is pretty bad and it wont handle your cpu well. ryzen 3 3100 or 3300x it just might but 3600 not

It should work just fine. And if you get lucky with your 3600, you can easily oc too. That board will handle 80-90W:s without a problem unless you are hotboxing it with no case ventilation.

Just do the bios update before swapping cpu:s.

B350 will support zen 2 with a beta bios ( so the latest bios that the motherboard has )

thanks for the response, i think i might go for the 3500 since i found a deal for less than half the price of the 3600

$105.

Im not sure how much the 3600 costs wherever you are or even in the US, but where i am the 3600 costs $253 and theres a deal for a 3500 for only $105

Go for it then 

If it was more expensive I would have probably went with a 3300x 

But this is a good deal.

Actually the 3300x where i am costs $160. I think it might be due to how new it is but it also might be because there is a very limited supply here
