I am using a ROG Strix B550-F and it is fully compatible with the 5000 series. Well, with a BIOS update.  And I really loved those red PCB MSI mobos!

All of the new ones(b550 and x570) have drop in compatibilty, the 400 series and the ones bought before the release need a bios update

It's a shame that biostar is rarely available in my country. They make cheap and good motherboards, and cheap motherboard is all i need.

i used to love thos bug copper chipset coolers, wish they would do this instead of the fucking chipset fan bullshit.

 

 

On a side note, fuck the cheap strix bullshit (with the exception of the b550-f) like jesus christ Asus get your shit together, there's more fucking caps than chokes on the b450-f.

Questions about these two... interesting boards:

First board (dual socket board):

1. Which two sockets are those?

2. Can the board support two CPUs at the same time?

3. DDR2 or DDR3?

 

Second board (weird slot board):

1. What slots does it have? I recognize PCI, PCIe, and AGP (the yellow one on the top I believe) but what is the brown one?

2. Do you know of a place I could find this board?

The answers to those questions are in the links above each picture.

No, can't run 2 cpus at same time. There's a series of jumpers which you have to change to switch between the cpus. Also vrm is not strong enough to run 2 sets of cpu+ram

boards are both using ddr1

 

2nd board has both pci-e and agp, that's the quirkiness ... the chipset allowed for it.

agp is the dark brown/black slot.

yellow slot is for  CPU Upgrade card, you could buy a card with a cpu socket and memory slots and the vrm , to upgrade from that socket 939 to socket AM2 which used DDR2 :

 

 

 

They also had upgrade to socket 462 - > socket 754 cards : https://www.asrock.com/mb/spec/product.asp?Model=754Bridge

and socket 754 -> socket 939 cards : https://www.asrock.com/mb/spec/product.asp?Model=939CPU Board

 

These motherboards were made in very small quantities and not sold in lots of countries, so pretty much collectors would have them...

Interesting.
