Question GA -AB350 Gaming 3

[Dennis63]

Hello,

I was curious if my Ga-Ab350 gaming 3 board is compatible with the Ryzen 9 3900x 12 Core?

or should I upgrade my board to get the benefits of the processor?

thanks in advance

It may be 'compatible', but I would not suggest running one on it. That AB350 Gaming 3 VRM is adequate for a 1600X processor and barely adequate for a 1700X, which would overheat like mad with mine (I had the AB350m Gaming 3 mATX variant). A 12 core processor would not be likely to run satisfactory at all.
