Hey everyone! I have a Ryzen 7 2700X and I’m planning to upgrade my PC starting with a new motherboard. I read that B550 motherboards might not support the Ryzen 2000 or 1000 series CPUs, but the Asus website lists my CPU as supported. Is this a mistake, or can I really use it? My current motherboard is an AsRock A320m HDV-R4, which should theoretically work with Ryzen 5000 series, but I’m a bit hesitant to take the risk. Thanks!
