Product: M01-F0016
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

The ERICA motherboard page states the following processor allowable upgrades:

  • Athlon 300 UGE APU
  • Ryzen 3 3200G APU
  • Ryzen 5 3400G APU  (what I have)
  • Ryzen 5 3500 CPU
  • Ryzen 7 3700X CPU

However, the info on ERICA 2 motherboard (the one in my desktop) states the processor upgrades are limited to just the APUs on the list. When researching the specs on both the ERICA and ERICA 2 motherboards, both appear to be identical. In short, can I upgrade from the Ryzen 5 3400G to the Ryzen 7 3700X on the ERICA 2 motherboard as you can with the ERICA motherboard? 

 

And yes, I know I would need a discrete graphics card for the Ryzen 7 3700X.
