Any luck installing a 3000 Ryzen on an X370?

I picked up the heavily discounted ASUS PRIME X370-PRO from Micro Center a few days ago for $49 ($19 after $30 combo discount) with the 2700x for $199, both still new. The 3600 now comes with a $50 motherboard discount, so I was thinking of taking the 2700x back, and getting the 3600 instead, for $20 less. I game 99% of the time.

My question is, how successful have you guys been running these new chips on X370 boards? Good idea to swap the 2700x for the 3600, for $20 less?

Thanks!

Tried a 3800x on my Gigagyte Gaming K7 x370 and it seemed to work fine. Didn't do any testing but it booted and went into windows just fine. In fact it works better than on my asus crosshairs x470 since asus cant seem to put out a good bios for it.

Ryzen 3900x on an ASUS CrossHair 6 Hero (X370) working better than I expected. Also using PCIe 4 for the 5700XT. Still a lot more testing and optimizations to be done.
 
After f40 I stopped on bios to get a post with 3600 , but my windows was on my M2 drive so I had to waste it and reinstall on my Seagate plate drive as all that it would allow me to picked for fresh install , then I got into windows and installed 19.7.2 driver and got windows updates before installing the new Ryzen 3 chipset drivers .

Then I changed to Ryzen balance power plan and overclock PB as it has a Gammaxx 200 cooler installed and I see the cores voltage downclock with speed when not needed so it's working great as my 350b has a 370x chipset . Gigabyte has a f 41a bios to address M2 drives with Ryzen gen 3 on 350/370 chipsets but I may just forget it as windows is installed and I have had Zero issues with the setup = no crashing and it's sound as hell in gaming for what I have played.

So, I would be running windows on anything but M2 drives for now as my drive was cheap and noting I can't miss out on just to have my 3600 running on a $60 mother board and hitting 20,000 Physics score without overclocking and or having the fastest DDR4 memory I can buy ,

My new score http://www.3dmark.com/fs/19927124 =
Physics Test
64.21 fps

I went from a 1700 at 3.8ghz 1.4v to a 3700x at 4.3ghz Allcore OC at 1.4v on a X370 Prime-Pro

I have 16gb (8gb x2) Trident-Z at 3600mhz 18-18-18-40 on my prior CPU a 1700 I could not get ram above 3000mhz with any stability. This CPU hit 4ghz right away with the XMP pofile (Asus DOCP) just like it ran for past 2 years on 7600k but timings are awful at that speed and of course the divider is not worth it.

I thought at one point the board was an issue reading others getting higher ram clocks series but this proves its fine. I had trouble with this ram running 3000 on the 1700. The ram that was running at 3000 was some eVGA 3200mhz micro center used to sell.
 
My x370 board had no issue at all running the 3900X, wont have time to really mess with it much tonight, but it works got a 3194 multicore score with Cinebench R15
 
I think I will stay away from overclocking until they get a better more stable bios for now. It works and works good but very temperamental at times in the bios, think ASUS has some work to do with the x370 boards before they are fully stable. On the good side tho the chip runs really well and benchmarks right up there with the x570 boards.

Have a 3600 on a Asus 450 MB when overclocking in Bios past 4.2 It does some massive ram Freq. downclocking and big CAS upclocking. Have never seen such - like this - weird
but benchmarks do still increase - Duh
