It seems you're unsure about the compatibility of upgrading from Ryzen 5 3600 to Ryzen 7 5800x3d. You might need to update your BIOS or adjust Windows settings for a smooth transition. Swapping components directly usually works, but checking compatibility first is wise.
You probably need to refresh the BIOS on your motherboard. Just let me know your exact model and the BIOS version you're using, and I'll help identify it. To view the current BIOS version, open the BIOS settings and check the front screen.
When you need to inquire, it’s likely you should try, particularly if you purchased your motherboard before the 5800X3D was released.
Ah, Okay. Thanks everyone for the info. I will try to update the Bios although I've never done that before. Here is the Mobo I purchased in 2019: MSI PERFORMANCE GAMING X470 GAMING PLUS AM4 ATX AMD Motherboard - Newegg.com I'm not at home at the moment to check exactly what Bios I am running, but I have never updated it before. I'll check when I get home.
Please confirm the BIOS version upon returning. If you need assistance updating it, I’ve updated hundreds before. Let me know if you’d like help with that.
