Hello, you're planning to switch from an AMD Ryzen 5 3600 to a Ryzen 7 5800X. Your current setup uses an ASUS TUF gaming B550 Plus motherboard with BIOS version 1202. You're wondering whether this upgrade is necessary and how to proceed since you're new to PC building. You've already downloaded the latest BIOS update for your motherboard and used the rename tool as suggested in the download notes.
The updated version works with 5800x and you likely won’t need an upgrade. I could suggest it for the newest stability and performance improvements if you haven’t changed before. Changing BIOS can be somewhat dangerous, but this board includes a BIOS flashback feature in case issues arise. To perform the update, use a USB flash drive, insert the BIOS file, and your device should detect it during the BIOS flash menu in settings.
