Product Manuals
A: As far as I know, AMD has already updated their bios on AM4 socket Motherboards. This means are able to run the 3rd generation Ryzen Processors on this motherboard. This includes the 3600x. Also saw a lot of stores selling this motherboard with the Ryzen 3600x as a bundle so that should mean they are compatible. ASUS's websites also states the socket is for 3rd, 2nd, and 1st generation AM4 processors. Check their website link: https://www.asus.com/Motherboards/ROG-STRIX-B450-F-GAMING/specifications/
Q: Does this mobo have Bluetooth?
A: It does not have Bluetooth built in.
Q: Will I need a BIOS update before putting a Ryzen 7 3700x in this?
A: Nope, She's fully updated. I slammed my 3700x into it with zero issues.
A: No need for concern, all you need is a usb WiFi dongle which can be bough on amazon for less than 20$. If you want faster speed though, BestBuy sells NetGear dongles, which are arguably the top brand. With the 24/7 support and decent software UI, NetGear has a higher price. Also remember to buy a Ryzen series chip made by AMD for this board. I use this board with a 7 2700x and a gtx 1060 gpu. I get at least 100 fps in all games at medium to high settings. Would recommend
Q: Is this compatible with the Ryzen 5 3600 and 1660 S? Just curious.
A: Yeah. It'll work with both. But if the Mobo has been sitting on a shelf for more than 7 months, the bios is not updated to run the 3600. You'll have to flash the bios. But if you're buying it at Best buy, they should be able to flash the most recent bios for you. Just ask them. Mine that I bought a month ago had the very first bios update compatible with the 3600 from July of last year. But I'm in a fairly large city. If you're in the middle of no where Iowa it might have been on the shelf for a while. The 1660 will need updates Nvidia drivers once the system is up and running but that's easy enough to do with the Nvidia software on their website.
Q: Is this motherboard compatible with the i5?
A: No, This Motherboard is AMD socket.
Q: Is this motherboard compatible with m.2 nvme sdd? I dont want to use normal 2.5'' ssd
A: Yes, this motherboard is compatible with M.2 NVMe SSDs.
Q: Is this compatible with the digital storm vanquish 7
A: Yes, it is compatible with the digital storm vanquish 7.
