[SOLVED] Ryzen 7 3700x on B450 Motherboard

[KazrinSS]

is it ok for a Ryzen 7 3700x to be used on a B450 Motherboard

Yeah it's ok. A good B450 board that can support the 3700x out of the box with good VRM's like the B450 Tomahawk MAX.

Or (Since the Tomahawk seems to be unavailable most places) B450 Gaming Plus Max.

Also Asus' TUF B450 PRO Gaming (not the PLUS) is an OK choice but you have to be sure it has a BIOS update to support Ryzen 3000 CPU's.

I hope good B450's are becoming scarce only because B550's are coming out soon.

Yes the 3700 will work on a B450 board but if it's not a MAX board, (like the Tomahawk MAX or Gaming plus MAX mentioned above) it will require a BIOS update in order to support the 3rd gen Ryzen CPU.
