Big Question guys, I'm considering upgrading from my Asrock520m/ac to an AMD Ryzen 5 5600X with six cores and twelve threads. I plan to use a Wraith Stealth cooler. I checked my manual, but it seems my motherboard doesn't support that CPU. That's confusing—I want to make sure I understand everything clearly before proceeding. Thanks!

It will aid the CPU after you upgrade the BIOS. It didn't cover the 5000 series CPUs at the time the guide was released since they hadn't been announced yet. ASRock A520M/ac BIOS revised June 2, 2021 by ramava Included updated link on the website.

To refresh the BIOS, you must use a different CPU and modify it accordingly. If you decide to sell the board, consider the B550f—it supports BIOS flashback and plenty of guides on updating it.
