February 13, 20215 yr I’ve been running a 1600x for 3 years, and am looking for a drop in replacement. MOBO is the MSI Gaming Pro Carbon which as I understand it only supports up to Gen 2. Suggestions are appreciated. ATP BE300 BE400 CE500 CE560XL DA20 MU300
February 13, 20215 yr MSI released that board with various chipsets (x370,x470,b450,x570 just to name a few on the AMD side they also make this model using intel chipsets) forward cpu compatibility depends on the chipset you currently have. Not knowing this its hard to suggest a compatible cpu. If you go into the BIOS updates release notes you can find the supported CPUs for your motherboard and go from there. Jose A.

February 14, 20215 yr Personally, I'd go for a 5600x and a cheap MSI motherboard. Not sure where you are located, but in the UK this board would do the trick for £59: https://www.cclonline.com/product/297132/B450M-A-PRO-MAX/Motherboards/MSI-B450M-A-PRO-MAX-Motherboard-Ryzen/Athlon-AM4-B450-m-ATX-RAID-Gigabit-LAN-Onboard-Graphics-/MBD2700/ I upgraded to my 5600x from a 3700x and the difference is night and day P3D v4.5 MSFS2020 Hisense 50" 4K TV Ryzen 9600x 64gb DDR5 6000mhz, Asrock B650m HDV/M.2 Gigabyte 16gb 9070XT, Thermalright Aqua Elite 240mm 2TB NVMe Boot/FS2020 Drive, 2TB NVMe P3D Drive.

Here's a list of previous generation AMD motherboards that MSI claims are qualified for Zen2 (AMD 3000 series) The one you mentioned appears to be on it. It would be a very good idea to update the bios before changing out the CPU but it should work. Ryzen Zen 2 Procs Incompatible With Some Older 300-Series due to BIOS limitation? (guru3d.com) Jose A.
