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)
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.

The deal would be solid if they had another board other than a Gigabyte branded one 🙄😒...
I don't know, Gigabyte is probably manufacturing the last b450 mobos. I picked up mine and the bios is dated January this year and the box says that it supports 5000 cpu's right out of the box. Personally for me, I am waiting until cheaper 8 core or high cpu's then I will upgrade my existing computer.

I don't care for Gigabyte. I only fool w/ ASUS and EVGA for motherboards or ASUS, EVGA, or Zotac for graphics cards. The 3600 should hold you up till you can find a CPU worth upgrading to. I'm unsure of what budget you have in mind for a CPU, but you better be on the lookout for some deals between now and maybe the end of next year b/c I'm willing to bet manufacturing of 5000 processors will be discontinued by then if it hasn't already and they will eventually become slim pickings.

What happens if I try and return just the processor or motherboard of this combo?

How is this for a home server build?
Does this CPU support ECC side channel?

You'll need to install a graphics card at least to install whatever server OS you're going to use. After that I suppose the graphics card could be uninstalled if you plan to manage the server exclusively via remote login, as long as the BIOS supports booting without any graphics output. Also this motherboard has built in WiFi - ideally a server is hardwired, so there's some extra power consumption from the onboard WiFi, although you could disable that in the BIOS I suppose. Processor is 65W TDP, server is likely always on - not great but not bad if you need the horsepower.
