How so there is a motherboard + Ryzen 7 5800X set although the motherboard only says 2nd Gen, 3rdGen? Can it now be used with a 5th Gen CPU? Link zum Set: https://www.digitec.ch/de/s1/product/asus-strix-x570-f-ryzen-7-5800x-am4-amd-x570-atx-mainboard-15737374

Helpful answer
The 5 in "Ryzen 7 5800X" does not stand for 5th Gen CPU. This is the case with Intel, but not with AMD.

Ryzen 7 5800X = Zen 3 = 3rd generation

And instead of using very imprecise specifications such as "supports generation x". It is better to check with the manufacturer of the motherboard. For each board, there is a list of exactly which CPUs are supported, including the necessary BIOS version. For this one, for example, https://rog.asus.com/ch-de...

And another money-saving tip. If you buy the parts individually instead of the set, you currently save 39.-. This happens very often with sets put together by Digitec itself.
