The title says it all, I’m new to building and could’nt find an understandable answer. I’ve heard the 115X socket is for Intel cpu’s but I’m not that updated on that part so back to my question, will my Ryzen 5 1600 fit my motherboards 115X LM socket?
 
Solution
Bottlenecked no
Overclockable No
6700 Will fit in that socket.
Future CPU upgrades No unless the 7700 is compatible but it is not worth the upgrade from a 6700 if you ger that

If you went AMD
Bottlenecked with a 1600 no
Overclockable yes with a b350 board or higher
Future CPU upgrades Yes, at least for another 1 or more CPU generations.
