You're considering upgrading your Ryzen 5 1400 board to a Ryzen 5 3600. The MSI A320m pro-vd plus supports the new BIOS, which is a positive sign. However, compatibility isn't just about BIOS—it also depends on future-proofing and performance gains. Upgrading could improve stability and unlock better features, but ensure your power supply and cooling can handle the higher power draw of the new CPU. It might be wise to test the upgrade in a safe environment first. If you're unsure, consulting MSI forums or a tech expert could provide more clarity.

It's a budget build but it should work for around 3600 watts. Adding some heatsinks to the VRM might boost power delivery to the CPU and slightly enhance performance.

It functions well, likely with minimal impact on performance. However, I might think about adjusting the fan curves—either beginning earlier or becoming more forceful—to offset the additional heat generated by the VRM and 3600.
