You're looking to upgrade your PC with a Ryzen 5 5600X. The A520M is listed as compatible, though some sources mention potential challenges. Your research suggests it should work fine.

they should function well together, but a bios update might be necessary if the board doesn’t include the update.

It works fine but isn't included with the original package. Check with the seller about a newer BIOS version—minimum P1.10 is required. If you already own the board, run the BIOS and verify the installed version. I have the identical board you mentioned. Feel free to reach out if you need further assistance.

Yes, you can update the BIOS on your PC through the manufacturer's software or by connecting to a USB drive during the boot process.

Yes you can. Which BIOS version do you have though? It might be compatible. have you checked? There is a guide on that, in your motherboard's computer manual. BUT: IT CAN RENDER YOUR MOTHERBOARD UNUSABLE. If there is an unexpected loss of power / shutdown your motherboard can, and probably will never work again unless you or someone else manually flashes your bios. Some manufacturers do that, I've even heard of some that do It for free, you just need to pay for shipping. Let me know if you need help updating your bios. if you don't, make sure to do it on a stable power grid, preferably with an UPS.
