Greetings to all.

AMD Ryzen 7 3800X Processor
Asus ROG Strix Vega 64 Graphics
2 X GSKILL TridentZ RGB 32GB 3200Mhz CL16 Dual Kit (F4-3200C16D-32GTZR) Total 64GB RAM
XPG SX8200PRO 512GB nvme SSD
I have components.


I was using this system with the Asus Strix B450-E Gaming motherboard.
However, within 15 days, the Asus X370 Crosshair Extreme motherboard will come as a gift to my hand.

Can I use the above mentioned components with Asus CH VI Extreme motherboard without any problems?
There is no compatibility problem with CPU and RAM, right?
As far as I know Crosshair Extreme series has better VRM, Phase and power configuration.
My goal is to replace my processor with 3950x in the future.
I would appreciate it if friends who use similar components or have knowledge write comments.
 
You will need to update the BIOS of the Asus X370 Crosshair VI Extreme to version 7002 or newer Before you can use the 3800x on it.

That MB does have USB BIOS Flashback so you can update the BIOS without a CPU installed.
Here is a Guide to do that:

I know I have to do this.
I want to switch to the Ryzen 9 3950X processor in the future.
This motherboard runs that processor without problems, right?
It doesn't cause a problem as VRM or Phase, right?
