What motherboard are you using?

my bad, msi a320m a pro max 

You need to have the BIOS from August 14th 2019 to support the 3600(X).

A320 boards aren't great for higher end CPU's though.

ok, u reckon I should go with the non x version or upgrade motherboard? 

A 3600 + B450 (like the Pro4) make the most sense to me.

probably get that in a combo i should be chilling then? 

Yeah.

You can try to sell the CPU+mobo combo to make up some money back.

 

I assume you have some 2x*GB 3000Mhz+ memory?
