Great, so just double confirming that the R5 3600 should solve the flash bios plug and play posting issue I was having with the Ryzen 5500 MSI 550BM-VC? cheers

@kira-faye the case is an old antec one atx mid tower budget is basically get a cpu that works with the MSI PRO 550BM-VC without having to flash bios compatibility. I'm just trying to upgrade the MOBO that failed and I was having issues with the 5500 Ryzen, turns out it appears it's a flash...

Thanks so much @Aeacus for this information, would something like this link help me avoid the flash bios? Is this 3000 series that much slower than a Ryzen 5 5500 6 core? This appears compatible.. any other cooler or spacing issues potentially...

Hi guys, I have a new MSI PRO B550M-VC WIFI Micro ATX AM4 Motherboard and need a compatible CPU, any suggestions? it appears compatible with https://www.bestbuy.ca/en-ca/product/amd-ryzen-5-5500-hexa-core-3-6ghz-am4-processor/16022401 PC part picker saying that it may not run on old bios...

Will the RAM be compatible?

Hi guys, I've upgraded my old PC and I was wondering if I could hand me down my RAM or Processor to my wife's also equally ancient relic of the past, instead of chucking them in the bin. Is an ASUS B75M-A RAM motherboard compatible with: Viper Patriot DDR3 1600MHZ (9-9-9-24) 1.5V UDIMM and...

@CountMike Thanks for the reply, a further question: After viewing the cost of a used MOBO for such an old model, it's almost the same price as upgrading a few items. Do you know if these items are compatible with each other and my HAF case for fit? I would use PC part picker and not bother you...

Hi guys, I'm handing off my old rig to someone that doesn't have the requirements of a modern gaming rig, however, it turns out the motherboard is fried (MSI 970A-G45). Could someone please help to identify a compatible new (old) motherboard for the following items: Case: HAF Cooler Master...

Alright and do you know if these mobos are compatible with the mounting points in the tower? I suppose the CPU isn't the only consideration, anything else I should be careful compatibility wise, RAM, GPU etc?

Thanks for the link, do you think my amazon link which would be the exact same replacement model, remains sufficient? I don't overclock or anything like that

I was looking at this same model off amazon for a direct replacement, they have some refurbished ones and apparently some new?? hard to believe: https://www.amazon.com/GIGABYTE-GA-970A-DS3P-FX-6Gbps-Motherboard/dp/B00CX4MUCC?th=1

Any other 990s you can suggest, I have an 8320 - most are saying out of stock

Says out of stock, any other 990s you guys could link me that would work with my system/case ? Thanks again for all the help

Is there any potential legacy mobo that isn't the one I currently use, that may be compatible? Looking for cheaper alternatives if there's something closer in generation

So my existing CPU ram are not likely compatible with a new motherboard essentially?
