Question Ryzen 5 3600 Compatibility with b350 motherboard

[Ian2328]

Hello
I was looking to upgrade from the ryzen 5 1600 to the 3600. I looked at the bios updates I had installed for my motherboard (msi b350 pc mate) and it said improved support for raven ridge cpus. However I looked online and people said that some motherboards might not support newer chips. Is my board compatible with the 3600?

not out of the box. you will need to apply the right BIOS update for full support.
as you have a previous CPU this should not be an issue, update to the proper version and swap the CPU. 7A34val.zip is the update, be sure to extract the files from the zip file first.
