[SOLVED] Ryzen 5 3600x with ASUS prime b450 plus

[Doddsy7]

So I’m considering getting a rtx 2070 super for much better 1440p gaming compared to my gtx 1070. And after doing some research, I’ve seen that my ryzen 5 2600x could possibly reduce framerate by 10-20 FPS. As this is quite a lot of frames being missed, I’ve seen that a ryzen 5 3600x is a good match for the rtx 2070 super. However I’m wondering if my current board (the ASUS prime b450 plus) could run the 3600x at turbo boost for this new card, or if I’ll also need a new motherboard too.

Any help is appreciated

You will have to update your BIOS to use a Ryzen 3000. Check what BIOS you're currently running and look at this page. Follow Asus's instructions on how to update your BIOS

Ok cheers, but would I still be able to do full factory turbo boost on my motherboard?

Stock settings should be able to boost up to its rated clock speeds. Probably not the best board for heavy overclocks though

Alright I’ll keep that in mind, thanks for the help
