Hello to everyone,
I have an Asus B450-E Gaming motherboard. I would like to replace my processor with a Ryzen 3700X, 3800X or 3900X processor.
Asus started to support these processors with the BIOS version 2501. So I updated the BIOS.

Which processor can I use with this motherboard?
Does VRM capacity feed these processors?
Is there a serious temperature under load when rendering?
Will there be a performance difference in games compared to my current Ryzen 2700 (non X) processor?

I'm not overclocking. I use stock values for both game and rendering purposes.
Can you give us an idea?
 
Solution
The 3900x might be a bit much for that MB unless you have Excellent airflow to keep the VRM, Chipset and CPU cool.
I have the ROG Strix B450-F Gaming and I have No doubt I could run a 3700x or even a 3800x without any issues, but for a 3900x I would want a MB with better VRM.
