Upgrading your CPU will bring improved performance for video editing or gaming. I swapped out my old Ryzen 3900x for the Ryzen 5950x CPU. For my cooler, I am using the DeepCool AS500 Plus CPU cooler which does a wonderful job at keeping my CPU below 50C. In this video, I removed the Ram and GPU so that I can have room to get my camera inside the case to get close-up shots. You don't need to remove them. I hope this step-by-step CPU removal and installation guide helps you out. If you have any questions let me know in the comment section and I will get back to you as soon as possible. I hope this video helps you learn how to install a CPU.

Make sure you apply a small amount of thermal paste. Proceeds to use half the tube
Anyone else thinks this is too much thermal paste? If you ever made a pancake before with batter you know that screwing 2 plates together with that much thermal paste it's going to drip out on the sides?
Yup, first thing I noticed.
When I built my first PC (before TH-cam) my computer-savvy friend insisted we use THE ENTIRE TUBE of thermal paste. The. Full. Tube.
Needless to say, that was not a very stable build. Anything more than pea size is too much.
@@amasse1 nah he had it out for you haha
YES, that is way too much in my opinion. Looks like using bondo repair on fender damage! Shovel it on thick and spread it out with a yellow applicator lmao
Technically if you don't care about the mess there's no such thing as too much if the cooler can still be mounted properly
Nice video and instructions.. but just one thing... you say "make sure you only apply a small amount of thermal paste" while actually applying a loooot hahah.
GUYS INSTALL BIOS UPDATE AND GPU DRIVER BEFORE ANYTHING OR PC WILL NOT SHOW DISPLAY AND YOU WILL HAVE ISSUES
Yup, make sure your Mobo supports your new CPU! Just check your BIOS version and look it up. If it already supports, no need to update. If it doesn't. make an update.
@@nottsoserious i have a x470-f asus mobo, currently on bios version 6202 (27/7/23) and Im waiting my ryzen 7 5800x3d which requires bios version 5861 (26/8/21) do I need to get that 5861 or just ignore since im already at 6202? Any reply is much appreciated in advance
@@wc.j3911 should be fine, just ignore. Worst case, you'll have to put your old CPU back into to update the BIOS.
@@nottsoserious noted, thanks.
"Make sure to only apply a small amount"
Bro you did too much on the first try, but nailed it on the second one lmao
My editing wasn't good enough to convey that not too put too much visual example.
3:32 "apply only small amount" and i was like WTF? lol
This looks easy but once you try it you will feel like homer simpsons trying to build a pit barbecue.
Ya lul, was sweating so hard trying to insert the processor.
@@shadyb834 same lmfao when i pushed the lever upward to unlock the old GPU from the motherboard and it clicked, i nearly had a heartattack. then i safely installed the new cpu and thermal paste, and the cooler and the wave of relief i felt when bios opened up recognizing the install was a success was pretty much as awesome feeling as how i used to feel when i would take those "happy pills" people used to take in the 90's. 😂 on the real though this video helped me so much. but yeah, i was pretty keyed up until i fired the PC back up.
I reccomend using latex gloves because your skin oils left on any material / components will effect heat transfer as well as it may cause metals to corrode. Example - If you change your cars headlight bulbs and leave a fingerprint on the glass bulb, that glass will heat differently and this will actually cause the bulb to burn out much faster.
This gave me the confidence and assurance that i needed to change mine out. With a little less thermal paste.
Yeah same, a little less won’t hurt
bro has thermal paste going inside the pin holes
I buy the non conductive thermal paste in case I do it by accident again lol
bro u put a fuck ton of thermal paste
Run your PC to get your CPU warm otherwise you run the risk of pulling the CPU out of the socket when you remove the cooler...Has happened to me before..The AM4 socket does a crap job of securing it down and can easily get yanked out.
thank you so much! my first attempt installing a new Ryzen 7 was a success all thanks to you! I have only been comfortable installing RAM and GPUs until now!! 😎👊
Awesome, I am glad my video helped you and thank you for taking the time to share.
@@ghtechreview absolutely! and i did the X thermal paste and it didn't make any mess or cause any issues for me. i DO have a liquid cooler, though, and the metal plate on the thing is quite large compared to the size of the CPU. either way, didn't make a mess for me! don't worry about the comments from people complaining about how much thermal paste you used. probably better to use a little extra if unsure and i was definitely unsure about this entire install before watching your video lol. people always seem to need to find something to gripe about. thanks, once again. i'll look to your channel for future information on this stuff whenever i need to do something with my hardware. 😎
I was told the wiggling option of removing a stuck cooler was wrong, since it could damage the pins underneath the cpu. I was told to run your pc for a bit to warm up the thermal paste and then take it off, worked for me well.
Running the PC to warm up the thermal paste is always the best option. Especially when it's really stuck. Mine wasn't that stuck it seemed to be stuck and it only required a little bit of force since the PC was turned off about 15 minutes prior to making the video. I'd say yeah make sure you have just recently been running your PC. Thank you for the recommendation.
Thankyou you made it look less like a scary bomb defusal and more like a simple task.
when he removed the old processor, some thermal paste accidentally fell into the CPU socket.
my fear too,upgrading soon,i will keep in mind to fully clean it,some thermal paste also might stick to your fingers so make sure to clean it before touching anything
Your literally put thermal paste inside of the CPU socket :D
was wondering if anyone saw this lmao
3:34 "make sure to apply small amount..."
ohhh ok.. LOL
He also put some in the socket xD
The most important thing when replacing a cpu is to check the compatibility of your new cpu with your current motherboard. After confirming the correct socket (AM4 for example), you gotta check which chip series is compatible with your motherboard. Again, for example, AMD ryzen has 2000 series, 3000, 5000, etc... after that, order some thermal paste and youre good to go. All of this is assuming you made sure you have met the minimum power supply requirement of course.
i am currently running an amd ryzen 3 2200g, upgrading to a amd 5700g on a Gigabyte B450M DS3H board. Do i need to do the bios update before i replace the cpu? is the bios update necessary? really trying not to brick my build, thank you
Upgrading my ram and CPU soon, can't wait to finally have enough money left and order it xD
Video: make sure to apply a small amount
Proceeds to put enormous amount on said cpu lol
Thanks! I had a minor heartattack because when I powered on my computer I got no signal to the monitor, no option to boot to bios, just black, then all a sudden Windows opened so I was all good.
When I powered on my computer, my mother board, ram everything turns on but no signal to my monitor
This was great, I work with computers all day but was still nervous to install my 5900x Friday! Thank you!
Great video. Very comprehensive. You answered all the questions I had about installing a new cpu and offered some great tips
Thank you so much for your feedback
Do i need to install all drivers again? Because audio isn't working anymore after upgrade😢
2:30 Look at that thermal paste get into the socket holes, yeah! Those guys at AMD should have put it in there from the factory, what do they know?
Great video. Maybe a little thiccc on the thermal paste but to each his own. All and all great content thank you.
Thank you for the feedback!
dont be like me and put the new CPU without updating the bios on your motherboard. Then i had to take the new CPU off, put the old one back, download the update for BIOS, update it and finally put the new CPU so it starts the pc.
Dont be lazy like me, update your shit first so u dont have to take it apart 5 times😂
Nah, I don't want to take that risk tbh. I checked my BIOS updates and none say anything about CPU anyway
Hey man, you’re lucky. Has the same issues and took me over a day for the problem to stop. Finally got the issues fixed only for my new CPU (Ryzen 9 5900x) it start overheating easily before going to BSOD, then American Megatrends error about cpu overheating. Getting a new and better cooler, just hoping this one works and is more effective.
@@ray5357 its my first time ever doing all this shit, so yea had to learn the hard way 😹
@@h2oant546 shit i hope u make it work, im glad that i missed that bullshit. I only had to reassemble the whole thing 6 times. (i upgraded to ryzen 5 5600x) so yea, hope you make it work bro
@@imrealyshiesty Just now seeing this. Got an AIO cooler and that managed to fix my issue.
you're wasting thermal paste
WAY too much thermal paste!
The X shape will spread unevenly due to the overlap in the center of the X and it will spill out the sides due to the amount. You just need a (large) pea sized dot in the center and let the cooler slowly settle into it to spread it out.
Great video otherwise though!
Yeah He said that as an example of what too much is. Got to listen to what hes saying too...
Please guys, technically there's no such thing as too much thermal paste. Although I also think he used more than the average person does, the thermal paste should not interfere with anything. You guys are actually gaslighting others by just saying that, so try to not do that if you don't know what you're talking about.
Lol. Too much is bad.
I was really hoping for instructions on updating the BIOS first to make sure the board is compatible, uninstalling the old 3900X drivers, and updating Ryzen chipset drivers for the 5950X. A jump like that in generations would usually benefit from a chipset update.
MSI Center app on Windows will update your BIOs and chipsets and stuff with the click of a couple buttons.
Want some CPU with that thermal paste?
😂
Run the pc for a few minutes to warm up the old paste. It's easier to remove the cooler.
you use way too much thermal paste
It's not like it'll damage anything :/ better to have too much than too little right?
@@makunabustudios304no not at all
@@konor5909 fair
I just upgraded my cpu from a ryzen 5 1400 to a 5500 I updated the Bois to the proper one for the new cpu, however it still will not boot. My fans get very loud for 2-3 seconds than quite down, in this time my cpu fan stops spinning completely, then the other fans continue to pick up speed and became extremely loud again. My monitor has the no signal error message on it. How can I fix this? And what could the possible issues be?
have you tried updating the motherboard bios? Get a USB and download the correct drivers. After that put the Usb stick into the BIOS USB there should be a small button on the back of your motherboard hold that for 3 seconds till the light turns off. (you can also search up on youtube/google how to update your bios with a USB drive) hope this will fix your problem!
I know i'm the one looking up the tutorial but I have replaced my cooler before and I learned there is no need for that much Thermal paste, the actual CPU spot that gets hot is just the small area in the center, the dot/pea method is best, any extra is too much
Ideally, you should have a thin layer of thermal compound covering the entire area between the cpu lid and the cooler surface. The rice/pea sized dab in the center is to allow the paste to spread out evenly over the lid. It's not necessarily a one size fits all scenario though. Some cpus like the threadripper series recommend a larger amount and different pattern when applying thermal compound, for example.
Absolutely amazing video.
Simple, didactic, great work.
Nobody talks about making sure the pc is slightly warm so it doesnt stick to the cooler: i just lost my cpu
Same lol rip 3600

Thanks for the positive support
simple and right to the point. earned a sub! Thank you!
Thank you!
you put wayyyy too much paste on that cpu
You nead a pea size amount of thermal paste thats it
was it worth the 3900x to the 5900x upgrade?
courious about video editing preformace
Once you boot, you should check to see if PBO is enabled. If you’re not using PBO with your amd chip, you’re doing it wrong
Sorry what is PBO? Can you explain please
I turn my pc on but I’m getting a blank screen the pc boots up and everything but no screen 😢
did u install newest bios update to the motherboard?I forgot that on my upgrade from 2700x to 3800x, which also had black screen! I updated the bios for cpu, but forgot the bios update for the motherboard!it was a b550 motherboard, but wrong bios update for it!using 5800x and im about to buy the 5900x and hopefully this time it wll work!
I'm having the same problem I have tried everything but a new cpu is my last step
Do you update bios before or after installing the new CPU?
Before so your board recognize it
it its literally the hardest thing in the pc to upgrade, since 9/10 times you need to upgrade motherboard, essentially equally to assembling a new pc
AMD are very good in that the last gen of CPU's (5 series and previos) are all compatible with AM4 socket. Intel are a bit mean and require you to change motherboard more often.
So I meet all the basic requirements to update to Windows 11, but 1. I have a AMD A6-7310 APU with AMD Radeon R4 Graphics cpu and it isn't supported. I want to get a new processor for my computer but i don't know how to find the right one for my pc, i tried to find the socket type online but all thats coming up is FT3b, and i don't know how to find something compatible. HELP!
Hey, before you swapped CPUs you didn’t have to change anything in your BIOS? I see that you are running Windows 11, you didn’t have to turn off secure boot, UEFI, and/or TPM before swapping out your CPU with a new one? I’m only asking cuz of how demanding Windows 11 is with its requirements and first time experience.
If you don’t want to buy a anti static strap do the following:
Avoid wearing synthetic materials or wool at all costs. Cottons and denim are best!
thick boots like work boots are thick soled to avoid static build up
A stripped copper wire can do the trick, just make sure its secure 0:48
Thank you for taking the time to give these precautions 🙏
so i guess ill go naked so no static charge build up

Hi i am Not a real expert but i have some questions
1. What is you MB
2. What is you CPU you bought
3. What CPU did you Had before
@Marek44 My motherboard is a Gigabyte Ab350 gaming.
New CPU: AMD ryzen 7 5800x
Old CPU AMD ryzen 5 1600
I've been on the support site "techguy" for help and tried everything, updating bios to the latest version, even though the one I was on previously supported the new chip, clearing the CMOS, removing the battery, removing and re inserting it. I'm 100% sure it's in the right way too with the yellow triangle aligned correctly. At this point the only explanation is that I have a defective cpu.
@@Jarednorthdoor592can you confirm your motherboard supports Ryzen 5000 series CPUs?
@tradcathpill Yes, it's socket is AM4 and 5000 series CPU's are supported. I've ordered another processor as I think the one I had was defective. If this one doesn't work I may need a new motherboard for some reason, even though the cpu I want to upgrade to is supported by my MB
@@Jarednorthdoor592you may need to update your bios with your existing cpu first. if it's on an old firmware that was released before the 5000 series, it won't work
Whenever i installed my new cpu my pc booted normally but every 20 mins or so my fans will get high and all my usb devices will disconnect for a brief second and start working again
Only thing i can think of is your PSU is too weak for your new CPU.
good LORD thats a lot of thermal paste lmao
2:30 Yuck. Some thermal paste almost got into the pin holes on the right there.
That's what makes this a good video. Now I will look out for that.
so i dont have to run a clean install of windows or anything? just changing the cpu will be enough?
Re-installation of windows is not necessary if you are only swapping out your CPU.
No update bios?
Mine keeps booting into bios after turning it on
did you find any solution?
Very clear and straightforward instructions. Thank you.
I have a Asus B450-F motherboard. I bought a 2000's series Ryzen 7 to replace my 2600x Ryzen 5 for price but also to avoid updating bios. How likely is a bios update to damage my PC? Keep hearing that it can brick my PC. Is that really a likely possibility? Should I go ahead and update my bios anyways? It is a few years old at this point and I will be upgrading from 16GB RAM to 32GB also, as well as possibly increasing my M.2 SSD from a 250GB stick to a 1TB stick.
Bios update will only hurt you if the process is interrupted. Since you purchased your items based on compatibility you shouldn't have to worry about updating. If you plan to get a higher end cpu that isn't compatible with the same motherboard definitely update
Nowadays most BIOS updates are pretty reliable. As long as you have a a newly formatted USB flash drive with only the bios file on it, it should be pretty straightforward. The only things that could go wrong could be due to using really old USB sticks that are themselves dodgy, which is not that common. Or if you have unreliable power supply in your home, because power going out during the update would lead to bricking. But if your USB memory is fine and your power is reliable, then it's quite safe.
That said, since you didn't get a newer generation CPU, you don't need to do any bios updates.
(I updated my mobo's bios yesterday since I have a new am4 cpu incoming later this week).

Need help! So I upgraded from ryzen 5 3600 to ryzen 7 5700x and I’m receiving no display whatsoever. I’m using the asus rog strix b450 gaming motherboard. I’VE TRIED TO:
update the bios
Remove the cmos battery twice
Checked with the old cpu which works
There’s a still orange light on the motherboard.
I’ve sent the new cpu back as I believe it’s faulty. Does anyone have any idea how to fix this as I want to order it again and try one final time. The website does say the cpu is compatible with the MB but with a bios update which I have done. Anyone have any ideas?? Thanks
Oh god i replaced the same cpus and i have the same issue, Pc turns on but display won't turn on
Personally it was my ram. After I replaced it the display was working fine.
I am upgrading from a Ryzen 5 3600 to a Ryzen 9 5900x and I'm having the exact same issue

@@dawoodahmmad But if my old cpu works it wouldn't make sense for my ram to be broken. Did you test with your old cpu?
3:34 "apply small amount" like wtf??
i thought so too, he applied too much it would spread outside the processor, though i personally have never installed a processor but im buying one
How do you update the BIOS on a CPU upgrade?
I had to update my bios 6 different times since I never updated them from the start and I couldn't just go from stock to the latest update
ok great, personally just wanted to make sure there was no need to do anything software related and it was ok to simply swap the components. Good thing changing cpu doesn't require like a reinstall of windows or something like that. Ez pz then
Only if you're changing your HDD/SSD
So you don't have 2 change or update drivers
What do i do if I get no image after booting up? How tf am i supposed to troubleshoot, if my pc gives me nothing to work with
i’m currently in the same boat. your mobo should have small color LED lights that flash to indicate what it’s checking during boot. They usually sit near the main mobo power cable. My asus has a White led(VGA) Orange(dram) Red(CPU) and Green(boot). Currently when I power on it goes “Orange, White, Orange, Red” then begins to loop White,Orange,Red over and over. Fans and case lights turn on, AIO turns on, but no signal to display and no Green boot light. I’ve narrowed it down to incompatible RAM, Defective Mobo, or CPU. Everything is brand new, so Im gonna try changing RAM first since the one I got technically isn’t on my manufactures “Quality Verification List” for the 5800x3d. If it’s not the RAM i’d probably try RMA the the mobo next, then lastly the cpu. I also reflashed the bios after resetting and clearing CMOS but that didn’t work.
@@_N4VE_ i was an idiot an forgot to update my mobo software. The last update was done 3 years ago when my new cpu didn't even exist, so of course it couldnt work :'D
@@notlisztening9821 nice catch! lol yah for me even updating the BIOS didn’t help. My last guesses are incompatible RAM, defective mobo out the box, or CPU. Was also told I can try reseating the cpu and cooler

Might be stupid thing… if you have a Xbox or something idk if PlayStation works lol. I had a no post twice that I couldn’t figure out for about 2 weeks. I decided to officially give up plugged into my Xbox then showed my gf the pc not working and it finally posted. Second time took like 4 days then I tried it again and it posted again. Also using HDMI 2.0 if that means something as well. Prolly won’t help but it somehow works for me. Thought motherboard was fried or GPU. Was even stuck in boot loop till I switched the cord around.
Aight guys, I upgraded my cpu but it didn't work. Turns out that my mobo wasn't series 5000 ready (even if compatible) so I said "well, I can reinstall my older cpu, upgrade my mobo drivers and then get back to my new cpu!". So I put my older 3 3100 in aaaaand... Nothing works anymore. My pc doesn't POST. Every fan works but the pc just won't start. I don't think the mobo is fried as energy surely gets through (or fans and LEDs wouldn't turn on, I guess). So what am I supposed to do? Can anybody help? Thank you!
I think we're in the same boat. I went from a 3600 to a 5800X3D. Got a message that says New CPU! With an FTMP. Had the option to press Y or N and I pressed Y. I get a black screen and no bios. Tried putting my 3600 back in and N doesn't work. I have no BIOS at all. Are you having a similar issue?

@@erutahuri4304 don't see why there'd be a difference
What if I just want to change my CPU, should I change the SSD or HDD before upgrading?
I was always under the impression that CPUs were held in by pins, boy do I sound dumb
Yes, but don't worry. Personally, I did much worse.
Cpu communicates with the board through its pins. Im sure it also helps secure it to the board as well. However the CPU is secured by the locking mechanism on the MB. The fan is held down by screws to ensure a solid contact, to dissipate heat.
So you aren't completely wrong. And you don't sound dumb. lol
When I removed the radiator, the processor was stuck to it, and it got damaged when it came out... Did you experience such a common thing?
It’s relatively common, the thermal paste is sticking the CPU to the cooler. If you put the cpu back in place and run the system for a few minutes heat it up, it should separate from the cooler much easier.
I found this video helpful.
Thank you for the feedback 🙂
I want to upgrade my cpu mines r3 3200g and up it to r5 3400g. Does validated version matter, mine is p2.30
no because its the same generation(3000series) which means already supported
I watch this without a pc
Your setup is soooo clean 🤩
Thank you :)
I’ve done this before but I’m the past I hasn’t changed anything in bios prior. This time I have tightened the Ram timings as well as changed numerous other settings. Do I have to load optimized defaults and redo all of this or let the new cpu run using these settings? Some are specific to the cpu.
So you don't have to reinstall windows or anything like that? It remembers all your stuff saved on the computer!?
Yes
The OS is installed on your storage drive (SSD or HDD
The operating system (and its license) is installed on the "hard drive" but it is bound to the MotherBoard. If you replace the MB only then you'll have to reinstall the windows and get new license, other than that you are good
For me my screen doesn’t show up on the monitors

Put your old cpu on and update your bios before. That’s what I was told I’m having the same problem right now but try it it and let me know if it works. I’m going to try it in the morning.
@@P4wgluvah put your old cpu back and update the bios before and then install it.
@@izzyboy9158 oh yeah thats the problem I already had it fixed brought it to the local shop and they did it for me
If the old CPU was overclocked, do i need to make it to default settings in BIOS before the upgrade? Or i just need to install the new one and to load "Optimized Defaults" again on BIOS?
I'd reset the bios first.
@@sheek1982 Thanks.
I did everything and it goes straight to bios when i boot my pc pls help
That’s what it’s supposed to do just press exit and it will take you to windows
Worth upgrading from a 5800X?
nope
Thanks.
Oh hell no.
i hav ryzen 5 3600 can i replace it with this using the same motherboard
So you don't have to remove the motherboard from the case even when installing a fan that came with the new CPU?
Only if there's no room for hands and tools. Otherwise it's unnecessary. The PC doesn't care
only if there is no room for you to work
How do I find out if the new cpu is compatible with the motherboard? I am upgrading a 12 year old Acer computer. Acer isn't always available to help on any PC that's beyond their warranty dates.
idk how many modern cpus will be compatible with a 12 yr old system since architectures change a lot. might consider buying a new pc
You're better off getting a new PC my friend. Even a mid ranged modern PC would wipe the floor with your potato, lol.
Once I did this my monitors showed that there was no signal or no display. I did everything according to the video and all of the parts inside of the PC are working, just no life on the monitors. What should I do?
I have this problem all the time i change parts inside of the pc. The fix for my problem is to reinstall the RAM and clean them.
One other problem might be that you didnt update your BIOS

@@pato8798 bro i am literally at the same boat as you
Check your Motherboards website and it will probably have a list of what cpus are compatible with what version of the motherboard/if its compatable at all
Im a noob so here's probly a dumb question: Do i need to update the bios before installing the new cpu? Im going from a 1600x to a 5600g and they both use AM4 socket
Sometimes you need to but not always
If your board is old then yes.
check ur mainboards website and check if the cpu is supported / bios update needed
trying to upgrade my son's CPU. He has a RTX 3070 graphics card, z370 mother board and i7-8700K. will this work with Ryzen? or do I need to get him an intell ( I know some things because I've helped him build it, but really do not know much)
wont work with ryzen since its an intel board
No, you'll have to get him an intel CPU. Specifically, an intel CPU with the socket type "LGA 1151"
İ have a b450 asus i upgrade my cpu from amd 5 3600 to amd 7 5700x and now i get a black screen and a orange light on my motherboard
Hi, did you update the bios on your mother first? If not, put back your old cpu and update that first.
@@andred212how do you do this? I have searched and searched and searched and there are no videos on how to do this extremely complicated thing yet everyone just knows how to do it
@@ethangiberson8098first, did you put the old cpu back in the computer and did it work?
@@andred212 yes but I guess I need a flash drive? It’s 2023 why are flash drives still a thing
@@ethangiberson8098 there are videos, just search on youtube ''update bios for ryzen third gen''
Does it need to download and install new chipset drivers from AMD site or it will take them automatically (in case upgrade 2600 to 5600)?
You will need to update the chipset driver from the AMD site once you install the new CPU. AMD offers auto-detect software for windows 10 and 11 that you can download from the AMD site. Once it finishes downloading and you launch the software it will automatically detect your CPU and update it accordingly. Hope this helps.
@@ghtechreview thank you
@@ghtechreview Man I was wondering why my pc wouldn't boot with 2 slots of RAM, I updated my BIOS and nothing but after the chipset update it all went smoothly!
