I got the cheaper version of this board (no wifi) for $60 and the CPU for $80 a month or so ago... So, this is a better deal. Working just fine! I did not need a BIOS update. You would to use this board with 5-series, I think.

I bought this combo when it was $100 (which is now expired) because it can support 5000 series CPUs. I'm planning to use it with the current 3600 CPU it comes with until there is a great deal on high end 5000 series CPUs in the future.

Outside of cooling, is anything I need to consider about using this lower end motherboard with a higher end CPU like the 5900x/5950x?

System will already have:

DDR4 16GB 3600MHz (2x8GB sticks)
Noctua NH-D15 CPU cooler
850w PSU
GTX1080 (actively looking to upgrade)
rpn1000
I ordered a combo on Wednesday for pickup at $100 and got it Thursday. While at MC, I decided to grab another and the price had gone up but manager blessed a second combo at the same $100 price point. New computers for the grand kids for Chrismas.

Whoops! I probably phrased my question wrong. I was trying to ask if there is anything I need to consider about using this lower end motherboard with a higher end CPU like the 5900x/5950x. I'll edit my original post.

Also, just want to note that this motherboard only supports up to NVMe Gen3 SSDs.

like you said, since it's low end, it probably cheap out on the VRMs. they probably have less phases and run hotter, while the higher end CPU might not stay at boosted speed for as long... another thing is the capacitors. the cheap ones may not be as reliable as the more expensive ones.

Nothing wrong with this combo, it's just quite old at this point. Great for a low budget PC build for sure.

A different motherboard is something to consider, this one is only recommended up to 5600 because the thermals are so bad https://linustechtips.com/topic/1...-amd-only/

Can yes, but most likely needs a bios update might even need a bios update for the 3600.
I needed to use my 1000 gen CPU to upgrade the BIOS

Keep in mind that you won't have PCI Gen 4 on a B450 mobo. So you won't get G4 SSD or PCI E bandwidth.

Not really a big issue IMO but figured I would mention it

If you're physically at micro center you'll see a sticker on the thing that says it already has the bios upgrade and is ready for (insert name here) Gen

This board's price was $60 just a few months ago, I know because I bought one. It's ok.
