Yes pro

2019-11-21 09:06:44 UTC  

MSI X370 Gaming Pro

2019-11-21 09:06:52 UTC  

And a Ryzen 7 1800X

2019-11-21 09:06:54 UTC  

It works with 3950x

2019-11-21 09:06:58 UTC  

BUT

2019-11-21 09:07:11 UTC  

you have to update bios to latest

2019-11-21 09:07:18 UTC  

Otherwise your system won't boot

2019-11-21 09:07:27 UTC  

Doesn't your table say nope?

2019-11-21 09:07:34 UTC  

No

2019-11-21 09:07:43 UTC  

It'll work

2019-11-21 09:07:59 UTC  

I have x470 by asus

2019-11-21 09:08:14 UTC  

And my system didnt boot before updating to latest bios

2019-11-21 09:09:17 UTC  

I didn't buy the CPU yet because I read it just won't work with X370

2019-11-21 09:09:29 UTC  

It does

2019-11-21 09:09:37 UTC  

it'll work but the question is how well

2019-11-21 09:09:44 UTC  

your motherboard wasn't designed with the power draw in mind

2019-11-21 09:09:49 UTC  

that's what the table refers to

2019-11-21 09:10:29 UTC  

It says minor airflow needed for 3950x for the vrms

2019-11-21 09:10:50 UTC  

it says not recommended for 3950x

2019-11-21 09:11:04 UTC  

You are looking at OC

2019-11-21 09:11:17 UTC  

Airflow on the board, right?

2019-11-21 09:11:23 UTC  

yeah, the area around the cpu socket

2019-11-21 09:11:29 UTC  

where the VRMs are

2019-11-21 09:11:35 UTC  

I have a front to back airflow and the CPU is watercooled

2019-11-21 09:11:47 UTC  

if the cpu is watercooled you usually miss out on a lot of VRM airflow

2019-11-21 09:11:51 UTC  

The area around the socket is empty, I can make some better cooling there

2019-11-21 09:12:13 UTC  

But the question is

2019-11-21 09:12:19 UTC  

Is it worth it? 😂

2019-11-21 09:12:55 UTC  

Top are OC

2019-11-21 09:13:03 UTC  

Oh I read it wrong

2019-11-21 09:13:31 UTC  

So it's "minor airflow recommended"

2019-11-21 09:13:34 UTC  

Yeah

2019-11-21 09:13:36 UTC  

For a stock 3950

2019-11-21 09:13:44 UTC  

I'll just try it out

2019-11-21 09:13:58 UTC  

Worst case I'll fry my Mainboard, right?

2019-11-21 09:14:03 UTC  

But you must update bios though. Can't stress this enough

2019-11-21 09:14:08 UTC  

Sure

2019-11-21 09:14:21 UTC  

it'll be fine

2019-11-21 09:14:36 UTC  

the 3950x is surprisingly efficient for a 16c CPU

2019-11-21 09:14:45 UTC  

It is really good bin
