[SOLVED] 3800x on a b450 motherboard

[Itsmegareth]

Will my MSI B450 A PRO MAX be alright with a 3800x and a stock cooler? No overclocking, 3200mhz ram. My case has plenty of air flow. MSI MAG FORGE 100R with 2 exhaust and 2 intake. Im aware the performance is no different to 3700x but its £20 cheaper on amazom

Yes. Should be okay (albeit a little loud) assuming you have decent airflow in your system.

My board will handle it then? I was wondering because the tdp is 120w compared to the 3700x 65w, im currently using a 2700 which has the same tdp as the 3700x

Ok, thank you. What temps should i expect using a stock cooler? Ive heard the 3800x likes to run hot.
