Model: 4 Ryzen 3-1200 & Ryzen 9-3900x
Looking for a motherboard that supports both RYZEN-3 1200 and RYZEN9-3900X chipsets without needing a new CPU right now.
Tomahawk max or any B450 motherboard with sufficient VRM to support a 3900. There are quite a few options available. Tomahawk is noted mainly because you can install both models from the start and it features a big extra bios, making it likely to handle both chips simultaneously. The most crucial factor remains the VRM. For lower-end boards, you can use a 1200 to refresh the bios. There’s also a wider range of boards beyond just the 3900 that you could consider.
MSI B450 Tomahawk is designed for gaming or as a pro/mortar weapon. The highest model ships with Ryzen 3000 support by default, but if you have the 1200 variant, you can opt for the non-Max version and install the BIOS updates yourself.
