Does Ryzen 3900x work on B350?

AMD said is down to motherboard vendor to support, as many boards cannot do it.

You seem to have forgotten the article link:

You also forgot to show it is a motherboard which
is a cheap one with tiny heatsinks. The title says this!

You also forgot to say that the one picture you linked to was the test with water cooling with no airflow through the VRMs.

You also forgot to show the pictures with a vertical air cooler which are lower.

Th other review I linked to in the review thread, other reviews have tested with horizontal top down coolers,such as the stock cooler which blow even more air on the VRMs.

Even back in the day with the Core2 and Phenom II CPUs you needed to manage airflow over the VRMs of cheaper motherboards.

The Ryzen 9 3900X is a 105W TDP CPU like the Ryzen 7 2700X. Even the latter in the same motherboard would need decent airflow over the VRMs.

The Ryzen 9 3900 was maintaining around 4GHZ on a cheaper motherboard but needs a top down cooler to be remotely viable.

There is a reason why AMD and Intel stock coolers and most OEM PCs use top down coolers,it is to keep air flow over the VRMs constant.

Also TBF I find it an unlikely scenario of someone buying a £500 CPU to put in a under £70 motherboard. Seems a bit extreme penny pinching there.
