Can i use a r5 3600x and a msi rtx 2070? null

With a BIOS update, this motherboard is compatible with this CPU. https://www.msi.com/Motherboard/support/B450-TOMAHAWK

Yes you can, I'm running r5 3600 and agtx 1070 which is about the same size as the rtx

Yes I'm using r7 3700x and msi rtx 2080

The CPU will work if you have the correct bios version on it before you boot. If you don't have an older CPU to use, look up how to use the bios flashback. As for the gpu, yes it will fit. Just follow the instructions from the manufacture on where to install it.

You should be good to go. MSI provides an update to the bios to support 3rd gen Ryzen. I am using an RTX 2060 and I don't have any issues with the mobo supporting it

No, I had the r3600 and could never post. buy a msi b450 gaming plus instead

Yes it’ll handle that with ease only potential issue is you’ll need to flash the bios to the newest version beforehand. For that you just need to download and unzip the bios on a usb drive plug it into the labeled port in the back. Boot into the bios and run the flash utility. I run a r7 3700x on it and the vrm handles the temps without a problem. It’s a very good mobo.

Don't recommend for Ryzen 3000, there is a lot of probles with BIOS compatibility on Zen 2 and MSI just don't care on fixing them, jus buy a x570 from another brand than MSI

Yes you can use a r5 3600x on this board but you will have update the bios to support the chip and as for the 2070 it will not work as the board is only AMD GPU graphics cards. Now if you can find modifies bios for the mother board to support and read 2070 but had no luck with my 2080 finding them. i pulled my 590 Fatboy out of my other system and it booted up with no issues!
