HP 8643 SMVB upgrade

[Mathia]

I want to upgrade my CPU from Ryzen 3 3200g to Ryzen 5 3600. Would this upgrade be compatible or no?

Even Google has no idea as to what a HP 8643 SMVB is, unless you are asking about an older generation Erica motherboard.

This not an enthusiast forum where people generally choose a process or and then motherboard and RAM, while creating a DIY gaming PC.

Upgrade processors were discussed for this motherboard a few years back. See the thread at the link below.

HP has removed support documents on the Erica motherboard from their servers, so finding reference information on it is quite difficult.

If you really want a powerful processor on it I highly recommend the AM4 Ryzen 7 3700X.

@NonSequitur777  might have some information for you.

@Mathia,

As @erico mentioned, we are talking about the Erica motherboard (SSID: 8643).

The best possible processor compatible with your motherboard is the Ryzen 7 3700X (3.60 GHz up to 4.40 GHz, 8-Cores, 16-Threads).  This is a powerful and quite capable gaming processor (if paired with a higher-end GPU and 2x16GB of DDR4 PC4-25600, 3200 MHz, Non-ECC, dual-rank, UDIMM, 288-pin RAM), with a low TDP (65-watt).

Kind Regards,
