People gave varied opinions, but the site indicates 2000-series CPUs aren't compatible. Someone might assist you further.
Very doubtful. For certainty, visit the website of the motherboard you're considering. They usually provide a compatibility guide. The MSI B550 Tomahawk, for instance, isn't officially compatible with 2nd generation or older models: https://www.msi.com/Motherboard/support/...upport-cpu In reality, pairing that CPU with that motherboard seems questionable.
I saw this and thought it was questionable, but someone seems to be using an R5 2600 with a B550. Just go for it—buying a B450 board makes more sense. They’re compatible with most components, and the Ryzen 5000 is already past AM4.
