Will a 1st gen Ryzen CPU work in a 2nd gen Ryzen board?

There's a method behind my madness, and I've seen a lot of results, obviously, for using 2nd gen Ryzen in a 1st gen board, which I know would work. But specifically I'm looking to use a 1st gen Ryzen CPU in a 2nd gen Ryzen motherboard. Does anybody have any experience with this working? Or know of anybody that has this working?

yes, second gen motherboards will accommodate any first gen ryzen CPUs. It's not as common a combo because it's not as ideal as the other way around, but if you've found a really killer deal or just have to go with the combo for some reason, it will work.

I WILL find your ITX build thread, and I WILL recommend the SIlverstone Sugo SG13B

 

Primary PC:

i7 8086k - EVGA Z370 Classified K - G.Skill Trident Z RGB - WD SN750 - Jedi Order Titan Xp - Hyper 212 Black (with RGB Riing flair) - EVGA G3 650W - dual booting Windows 10 and Linux - Black and green theme, Razer brainwashed me.

Draws 400 watts under max load, for reference.

 

How many watts do I need? ATX 3.0 & PCIe 5.0 spec, PSU misconceptions, protections explained, group reg is bad

Yes it should work fine. That is the glory of the superior AM4 socket >:^)

No seriously though it should be fine. You should only need a BIOS flash if you are attempting to run Ryzen 2nd gen in a 1st gen mobo. Running 1st gen on a second gen mobo should be fully supported.

Not only is it supported but it is recommended as the newer boards apprantly have better VRMs. 

 

First gen Ryzens are going for a good price these days so if you find a deal go for it.
