Yes, you can upgrade from R7 2700X to R9 3900X without replacing the motherboard.

It's possible if you're okay with reducing the CPU speed or risking overheating the board

Fire? That’s a big deal! For a safe CPU choice beyond the R7 2700X, look into mid-range options like the AMD Ryzen 5 or Intel Core i5. They offer good performance without breaking the bank.

I don’t suggest going for 2700X on this board, since it won’t cause any issues even at stock configurations—this applies to any CPU as well.

It depends on the specific model and context. A higher number like 3700 often indicates better performance or efficiency, but without details about the device or comparison, it's hard to say definitively.

Still safer in this case, though I still don’t suggest pushing the CPU beyond its limits.

Yes, you're referring to turning off PBO as well.

That's quite extreme for the voltage levels on that motherboard. Among the best B450 models, this VRM heat sink performance is one of the worst.

Based on the chart, this motherboard supports an OC'd R7 3700X with minor airflow enhancements.

For maximum effect, consider placing a fan over a heat sink—this speeds up heat dissipation rather than changing how the VRM operates.
