Yes, the Ryzen 3000 series 7 and 9 families are supported on that motherboard, technically, but I wouldn't recommend it. I wouldn't run anything more than a six core Ryzen 5, from any generation supported, on that board. If you want to run a Ryzen 7 or 9, get a better board. It has a very weak VRM configuration, only a 4 pin EPS auxiliary power delivery for the CPU and no heatsinks on the VRMs. All of which spell problems for those higher end CPU models.
