The processor needs to last longer than the motherboard. You'll need some patience if you're really aiming to disable the CPU.
X570 paired with Ryzen 3000 works well with 1000 and 2000 models
OP is quite puzzled and unclear, especially regarding the 1600s mentioned. There are two distinct AMD models from that era: the original Zen 1 based chip and a newer Zen+ version released by Ninja to replace the stock Zen+. This newer model is essentially a lower-tier Ryzen 2600. I’m unsure who told him he can’t upgrade the CPU—this person seems to be misleading OP. The 2600 is fully compatible, though he’s using a lower version. Zen 1 isn’t supported on that platform at all; you need Zen+ or higher. @DandaCze, if you’re not overclocking, don’t undervolt unless you’re doing it for fun. It should last a decade if used properly. I suggest looking for a budget Zen 3 chip to install instead.
