Yes, the Fix-6300 and Ryzen 5 5600X can run together on the same motherboard. Placing the Ryzen 5 5600X in a Zen 3+ socket is possible, though compatibility depends on the specific motherboard model and its support for those processors.

Avoid attempting this—it could damage your CPU and socket. The 5600x is designed for AM4 socket.

AMD FX chips function in AM3+ sockets while Ryzen chips operate in AM4 slots. You can't fit a CPU designed for AM3+ into an AM4 socket due to size and key differences—some pins are blocked, and attempting insertion risks damaging both the chip and the motherboard. Each socket serves a specific role; FX processors need DDR3 support with many pins dedicated to that interface, whereas Ryzen processors require DDR4 and have additional pins for memory connections. AM4 also accommodates SATA and USB ports inside Ryzen designs, features absent in AM3+ for FX chips since those older CPUs lacked built-in USB and SATA controllers.

No, the Ryzen 5 3600X is not compatible with an AM4 socket. It requires a newer processor socket like AM5.

Am3+ supports 942 pins, AM4 accommodates 1331, and the R5 3600 remains compatible with AM4.
