I suspect there will be a UEFI update for official support, after that it will be listed for sure, so better wait until then to be 100% sure of compatibility, but theoretically it should work even with current UEFI if it has AGESA PinnaclePI and not older. ------------- Main Rig: AMD Ryzen 2400G | ASRock Fatality X370 ITX/ac UEFI 4.90 | Corsair LPX DDR4 2400@3200 1.35V | Corsair RM650i PSU | CM ML120L AiO Cooler |

just be careful with the new 2700x though compared to 2700 or 2600x the 2700x has a higher tdp than any other ryzen cpu so you may be wiser to have the x370/x470 boards to support the extra power as said best to wait for official statement of support ------------- [url=https://valid.x86.fr/jpg250]  [/url]3800X, powercolor reddevil vega64, gskill tridentz3866, taichix370, evga750watt gold |

just had a laugh when checking the cpu support list for the brand new flagship taichi ultimate x470 .................. no support listed yet for the new 2700 and 2600 cpus  ------------- [url=https://valid.x86.fr/jpg250] [/url]3800X, powercolor reddevil vega64, gskill tridentz3866, taichix370, evga750watt gold |

:)) I think ASRock adds support for new CPU's after the release date of said CPU's not to break NDA's like some other manufacturers, I guess :)) But indeed its odd, because X470 was made specifically for the 2xxx lineup :)) ------------- Main Rig: AMD Ryzen 2400G | ASRock Fatality X370 ITX/ac UEFI 4.90 | Corsair LPX DDR4 2400@3200 1.35V | Corsair RM650i PSU | CM ML120L AiO Cooler |

I would lean this way too. We have learned the hard way with AMD and VRM requirements in the past (FX 8k and 9k series anyone?). Even intel's 8th gen K SKUs push VRMs hard so don't be surprised if the more budget oriented boards can't handle the R7 2700x. I have no official info on the matter but as Datonyb said, there is a chance it may not work out very well using a high TDP CPU on a B350 board. In a few days we will all know more. I would wait until the reviews all drop, undoubtedly the backward compatibility with existing 300 series AM4 boards will be high on the agenda for testing. -------------
