[SOLVED] Will this cpu work on this motherboard?

Solution
He means that your motherboard existed BEFORE the 3600 CPU. It is possible to get a motherboard that has been sitting on a shelf for a long time that won't have the minimum BIOS required for the 3600 CPU. It isn't likely but it is possible.
If you look at this page -- https://www.asus.com/us/Motherboards/ROG-STRIX-B450-F-GAMING/HelpDesk_CPU/ you can see that the 3600 CPU requires version 2301 BIOS as a minimum. You can also see on this page -- https://www.asus.com/us/Motherboards/ROG-STRIX-B450-F-GAMING/HelpDesk_BIOS/ that version 2301 was released in May 2019. It has supported that CPU for about a year. So, possible but not likely.

I bought this motherboard and out of the box it worked with my cpu. Chances are it will work but you might get a older board so you will have to do a bios update. But I use the same cpu and it works fine
