- Supports AMD AM4 Socket Ryzen™ 3000, 4000 G-Series and 5000 Series Desktop Processors*
- 6 Power Phase design
 

*Not compatible with AMD Ryzen™ 5 3400G and Ryzen™ 3 3200G.
 
I copied and paste this from Asrock website and i was curious about (*Not compatible with AMD Ryzen™ 5 3400G and Ryzen™ 3 3200G.) Now would my MOBO be compatible with R5 5600x?

The AMD G-sku parts are built with the previous generation's CPU chiplets, so the 3x00G APUs actually have Zen+ (from the 2x00 series) CPU cores, which makes them "incompatible" (by AMD's decision, not anything actually technically preventing them) on the 5x0 series boards.

OMG you can even put the R9 5950X? that's amazing. I thought i was going to have to upgrade my MOBO at some point as well. Well probably as i get more familiarize with what  want more in terms to a new MOBO.

Thank you and oh okay makes more sense a little bit to me now because of the G-Sku are from the previous generation.  

Yea, the AMD Ryzen G CPU's are basically a 'previous generation' product.

Zen (1) = Ryzen 1000, plus 2200G, 2400G

Zen+ = Ryzen 2000 (excluding 2200G, 2400G), plus 3200G, 3400G

Zen 2 = Ryzen 3000, (excluding 3200G 3400G)

Zen 3 = Ryzen 5000

 

Although if you do include the laptop CPU's, desktop APU's and OEM products it does get a little more complicated. That is why I generally just look at the CPU support list, to know for sure what does and does not work

in theory it can support that CPU, but it's not like you want a CPU of that caliber on a board like this.

 

Without going into too much detail, CPU's use power and motherboards support power.

Even though in theory an A520 motherboard can turn on with a 5950X, it's not like it can comfortable deliver the amount of power a 5950X uses.

A 5600X CPU is about the most I recommend on A520 motherboards.

 

It's not like all B550 or X570 motherboards are equal, certainly not, but a good X570 is what I would recommend for Ryzen 9 in general.

Gotcha. What about Asus ROG STRIX B550-F GAMING (WI-FI) ATX AM4 Motherboard ? Would that be enough to power that CPU ? Because I’m other words, if I want a stronger CPU i would need a stronger MOBO basically. I already have the PSU wattage to run that CPU but not sure for that MOBO
