Hello, I'm checking if my Gigabyte B450M DS3H can support a Ryzen 7 2700X. I'm currently running a Ryzen 3 2200G with a 45-65W CPU and a 105W Ryzen 7 2700X. I'm unsure if the smaller VRMs on my motherboard would handle the 105W processor. I don't plan to overclock, just stick to stock performance. If I can't use the Ryzen 7 2700X, I'll go with the Ryzen 7 2700 at 65W and a light overclock. Anyone have experience with this setup? Also, could you share a list of supported CPU models for B450M DS3H with their specs like wattage and clock speed?
Technically it might be possible, but I wouldn't be too surprised if it isn't. If you're mainly playing games, go with a 3600—lower current draw and it should function just fine.
Review the manufacturer's site to avoid unnecessary updates. Options include 2600x, 2700x, and 2700x based on price. 2700x offers a better cooler; assume components are genuine around 95W even without overclocking. If your board supports the 3000 series with an update, go for 3600. Avoid 3700x unless you have negative compensation settings.
