HP Omen 880-021
Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

My HP Omen 880-021 Desktop specifications say it only supports an AMD Ryzen5-1400 (which I currently have installed), Ryzen5-1600, Ryzen7-1700, and Ryzen7-1800X. I'm wondering if the (Higos) motherboard would support any newer CPU models from AMD such as a Ryzen 7 2700, 2700x, or 3700x upon installation. Would I have to update my BIOS, or are they not compatible at all?

@HumbertoPerez , welcome back to the forum.

 

The processors listed in the section titled "Processor/Processor upgrade information" have been fully tested to assure that they are fully compatible with the motherboard.  If the processors are not listed, a BIOS update will not make them compatible.  HP has their motherboards made to their specifications.  They use them in many different models, with different specifications.

So there's absolutely no chance that those newer models would work with my PC?

@HumbertoPerez, no, I don't believe it is possible.
