Hey everyone! I just got my hands on an MSI MAG B760 TOMAHAWK WIFI motherboard, and I'm planning to pair it with a Ryzen 5 9600X processor. However, I noticed that the motherboards on Amazon only mention compatibility with Intel processors but don't say anything about Ryzen. Could anyone clarify if this setup will work? Thanks!

The MSI MAG B760 TOMAHAWK WIFI is actually an LGA1700 motherboard designed for Intel CPUs, so it won’t be compatible with the Ryzen 5 9600X, which uses the AM5 socket. You might want to think about returning the motherboard or picking an AMD-compatible board instead. If you check out pcpartpicker.com and input your CPU, it’ll help you find a compatible motherboard. Most users recommend a B850 board for the 9600X.
Got it! Thanks for the tip. Do you have any recommendations for a good Intel CPU in the same price range?
