Can you put an "AMD Ryzen 5 5600G" on the mainboard? Because the Ryzen has PCI-e 3.0 and the mainboard says "PCI Express Version (max.).
4 (4.0)". Does that mean that you can put anything up to PCI-e 4.0 on it or only 4.0?

Accepted Answer

Yes, you can use all processors with an AM 4 socket. PCI e 4.0 is the connection version, but it is downward compatible, i.e. parts with PCI e 3 also fit on PCI e 4 slots, but this only applies to graphics cards and hard disks.
