Power has nothing to do with it.
2600 65 Watts - 3600 65 Watts
2700 65 Watts - 3700X 65 Watts
2700X 105 Watts - 3800X 105 Watts
........................ 3900X 105 Watts
Of course you wouldn't run a 105 Watt CPU on a £70 B350 board.
YesTechCity tested a 3600 on a very cheap A320 board and it was perfectly fine, more than fine in fact.
It’s pretty simple, go to the manufactures page and look at CPU support list.
people not only weeks ago get a 450b board its fine. now...its emerging that it maybe not fine. as msi have suggested. you just dont know. you are basically buying a dead end motherboard chipset platform and just hoping its supported when you need to upgrade. its risky. you have to put your faith in the companies involved who basically are not there for love they there for business. high end zen 2 chips on budget boards are really recommended some even lower end chips dont work on older am4 boards. so how do you even know that there maybe even less support for these older boards when the next chips are out ?
its pretty obvious the support will be less as you have new chipsets out so that is where all the focus will go. also other chipsets to come. you better off just buying the board you actually need for the cpu you need then upgrade again when needed.

and 2020 starts in just 5 months time
And lasts for another 12.
Soldato
did they say until 2020 though or throughout 2020?
I can’t see AM5 and whole new version of Zen being released, or the X500 chipset replaced within the next 12 months
The 4000 chips will be AM4, it’s the 5000 range that will possibly be the new platform.
That's good to hear.
Doubtful. It would be a nice gesture, but I haven't seen many businesses do nice gestures these days. Bit sore about this to be honest, you expect price drops months later, but not a couple of weeks!
These prices would give me a £30 saving on the kit I only bought on last Saturday...
Nothing really. What a few percent?
With site wide price changes my new build I ordered 5 days ago would cost me £30 more now.
Just the way it is sometimes unfortunately.
Is becoming less coherent part of your new shilling strategy, Dg? People can't call you out on your nonsense if they can't understand it?
As for B450 being a dead chipset... MSI released new B450 boards like a week ago specifically to improve their Zen 2 support.
you mean the ones i been telling people to buy instead of the dead 450 ones for past week ? yeah i know. will they been supported on the next chips ? limited most likely. the reality of it is new mobos will have more support. also more expensive ones. by cutting off support to old ones you have to move to a new one. equals more cash for mobo companies. thats why they do it. simple. 450 max boards. dont buy the older version.
I appreciate its not a huge amount in the grand scheme of things. I just want expecting a price drop on the kit so soon. Especially with the cpu being on the market for less than three weeks.
These are cracking deals having said that!
