Issue with Asus TUF X570 gaming CPU compatibility
Hello. Your system is set up with the right components, but you're encountering a startup issue. The black screen and orange light suggest a BIOS update is required to recognize your Ryzen 5 5600X chip. Since you don’t have a BIOS flashback function, the motherboard likely needs an update to support it. The fact that you’re trying it with a Ryzen 5 2600X indicates the BIOS version should match your CPU. Check your motherboard’s manual or manufacturer website to confirm the compatible BIOS version for your specific model.
It's an X570 board, which means it likely has a big enough BIOS chip to maintain support for older chips—even if older boards have limited space, they usually remove support for older CPUs to make room for newer ones. A Zen+ chip should be recognized automatically. To confirm, look at the BIOS versions on ASUS' website and check if they indicate any support cuts for specific CPUs.
X570 supports Zen+. It's essentially the B550 with Zen 2 or newer.
