    I don’t know about AM5, but I’m running a 5700X3D on a motherboard that still has a PS/2 port. (Not that I’m using it, but it’s there.) You can still have a pretty modern system with PS/2 if you really want it.

        Mine is a B350 – I’m still running the same motherboard I used 7 years ago with my old Ryzen 1700X. Considering how much depends on the CPU these days instead of the chipset, does it even really matter if the chipset is older?

          Chipset itself doesn’t matter, it it dates the board.

          On AM4 basically every board has it. Maybe the really dire boards would skit it, but they’re skipping so much more first. Starting with early AM5 (6XX) and it actually started disappearing and now with 8XX it’s getting much less popular.

          Also how’s your B350 board holding up? My X370 board died after about 3.5 years, and my friends X370 had been acting up after about 5. Maybe the higher end chipsets are cursed? I sure hope my new board lasts because I paid a fuck ton for it.
