Yeah, I do know how, but I wanted to make sure that there wasn't anything I had to download when done, like new drivers. I literally forgot if you needed drivers or not for a cpu LOL!
Thanks for making this tutorial! For some reason, I thought replacing a CPU was going to be a hassle (never did it before) but your explanation and step-by-step guide made it look really easy.
I am upgrading from a ryzen 3 3100 to a ryzen 5 3600 in a week or 2 and this was pretty helpful, I liked and subscribed because you seem like a great channel, and reading comments, it looks like you have a good community
I think is was an awesome video for someone like me. I'm a novice computer dude who wants to upgrade my gear. Really liked the way you presented it. I'm more informed now.
I am wanting to upgrade my CPU and you Video was so helpful in letting me know what to do. But wanted to say you are extremely informative along with not over explaining everything so Thank You. And I also Subscribed to your Channel.
Very informational video. I currently have a R5 3600, and I’m getting a R7 5800X for my birthday in a couple days. I wasn’t sure if I would be needing a bios update with my B450 motherboard, but now I know that I don’t, since I got said motherboard early this year. Thanks a bunch.
So like you’re good at this. So easy to understand. I’m going from a 3600 to a 5700 on a 450 pro. Watchdog your piece on bios updates and found out there was an update for my board to support 5000 series. Thanks
Thank you so much this helped a lot, I will be upgrading from a ryzen 7 3700x to a ryzen 9 5900x on my asrock x570 board in about a week so fingers crossed it all goes well!
Thank you for this wonderful video. I'm thinking about upgrading my computer and installing the processor always feels so harrowing and intimidating. I am going to update Ryzen 7 2700x hopefully to Ryzen 7 5800X. This really helped me figure out whether I need to upgrade my motherboard as well!
Thank you! I have a ryzen 3 1200 Cpu and i will upgrade it in the summer of 2021 with a ryzen 7 and i have a b450m motherboard, so now i know that it is compatible! Thank you so much!
I was checking my notification regularly for this video ever since I watched the video about Intel Cpu's. I am overjoyed to have gained so much valuable information about Ryzen cpu and mobos. Btw each aspect of the video was beautifully explained. Flawless. Sir, You are doing a brilliant job in bringing those hard and difficult topics and making them easy to understand. Thank-you. #stayblessed
I SO needed this "CPUs for Dummies" video, thanks!!! I'm trying to decide whether to get a 3950x or wait for the 5950x to be restocked, but I'm glad to know I could always upgrade to the 5950x without a new motherboard (getting an X570 mbo) if I want.
Thanks for the help. Bought a prebuilt with a 3700x over the summer and am looking to upgrade to a 5900x in the next couple weeks, mainly for Warzone and Cyberpunk
I have a ASRock b450m/ac I have a Ryzen 5 2600. I recently bought a 5.5600x. waiting for it to come in the mail at the moment and doing research making sure I made the right choice I would have liked to get a bit better one but I just couldn't afford it.. hoping this swap will go smooth going to update the BIOS once it gets thank you for the video will definitely subscribe you explained everything better than anyone else I have watched so far. Thank you!
Thank You so Much 😊 That was very Useful, I want to do it for my Cousin Computer because I don’t have PC yet. He want to upgrade from Ryzen 5 to Ryzen 7 I searched a Lot and today I found it in your channel which I was subscribed from before 😅

@@Maraksot78 I got in on Amazon France. I payed quite s bit more than MSRP truth be told (Not Scalper prices though). This 5800X will be my CPU for the next 3 to 5 years so I'm not too worried that I overpaid by a bit
This explains AMD products so well. The best I've heard tbh. Thank you for this content. I want to upgrade my CPU to an AMD RYZEN 9 3900X in hope of boosting my FPS when gaming. Really considering it if its worth it given the current market. My current PC specs are: MOBO =450M; CPU = AMD Ryzen 5 2600; GPU: PNY 1080 ti 11gb; RAM = 16gb; Storage: NVMe M.2 1TB and 1TB Secondary SSD; and Power Supply = 750 Watts. For context, when running warzone I get on average 90-100 FPS with low/medium settings.
Built a new pc rig back in Nov 2019. Using the x570 with a ryzen 5 2600. Runs great and thinking of upgrading to a 7 or 9 series, or better yet the new series coming out. Wanted to future proof the motherboard since the build was on a budget and got a big discount for the ryzen 5 2600.
Upgrading my son from the 5600g his computer came with, to a 5600 and a rx 6600. Nothing crazy, but it will run what he likes. This video was a lot of help. Thanks!
Built my first pc last year, got a r3 3200g and although I could run it as my cpu with a separate gpu in the future, I wanted to make sure I could swap it out in the first place. Although I might just save up and invest in a “X” model motherboard, a better cpu and a better gpu
I'm picking up my Ryzen 7 5700X next week. Currently I have a R5 2600 paired with an Asus Prime X370 Pro. Yes that's right, X370 is now compatible with 5000 series CPU's which I'm stoked about! (Yes my BIOS is already updated to latest) It's absolutely amazing the upgrade path that AMD provided. This Mobo is almost ancient and upgrading to a 5700X from a 2600 is going to be a huge boost!
I'm currently upgrading my streaming PC from a 3900X to a 5950X. After the upgrade, it will be have an X670 motherboard with a 5950X processor and dual 6900XT video cards, as well as an installed 4k capture card, not to mention 128 GB of 3600 MHz ram and a 500 GB Aorus NVMe drive running on PCI-E 4.0. I'm really excited for this, since I'm going to be using this PC to Livestream gameplay and do 3D animation for my TH-cam channel. Thanks for the video, it's been a year or two since I updated my PC so I wanted to make sure I wasn't missing any steps - last time I forgot the BIOS update
Just updated my x570 l aorus pro WiFi MB to the newest bios and I’m taking out my 3600 I sold just now and replacing it with a 5900x....I’m stoked!!! Also snagged a Dark Rock Slim to keep this beast nice and cool..👌🏼
Thanks for the tutorial from 2 years later! I have an AMD Ryzen 3 3600G CPU on an ASRock B450 motherboard, upgrading to the (now released since this video) Ryzen 9 5900X in a few days.
Congrats on the upgrade. In case you are not aware you will need to update your motherboard BIOS/UEFI in order for the 5900X to work properly. Assuming Asrock has updated your boards BIOS to support Ryzen 5000 of course. If you need help with that I do have a video that should help. th-cam.com/video/wk_bo6OWq6s/w-d-xo.html Best of luck to you.
Great video Mark! Got an i5 6600k but wanting a Ryzen 5 3600 for my next upgrade :) but not sure if i should just go with a graphics card upgrade before that (RX480 8gb MSI Gaming X) play games at 1080p but have VR so need more power for that really.. Keep up the great videos :D
The i5 6600 is still decent. True it's only a 4 core CPU and having more cores and threads in modern games does help but if you currently have an RX 480 8GB and are wanting more fps at 1080p and more horsepower for VR, my recommendation would be to upgrade your GPU first and then upgrade your CPU later.
This Video and Some other Videos are really helpful to me Right Now Because I am currently updating my prebuilt pc, its from either late 2018 or late 2019 (I don't truly remember lmao) The cpu that was in it from the git go was an AMD Ryzen 3 3100 4-core ... after all this time I'm finally (after upgrading RAM, from to 8gbs, to 32gbs, and then to 64gbs) hoping to upgrade to a AMD Ryzen 5 5600 6-core (yeah I know still kind of outdated) and being let know if my Biostar A320MH motherboard will even be able to do the upgrade and how to make it so (if possible) ...
Thanks for this, was planning on upgrading my 3400g to a Ryzen 5 2600 since the framerate when I play videos, like yours in the background while gaming, hopefully the 6 cores 12 threads will fix that fps drop Does it work well with a 5500xt 4GB on an A320 motherboard?
Im using a r5 2600 running on msi b450m-a max pro(assembled by shop), won a giveaway r5 3600x on Dec but my country is on strict quarantine rules so now im studying how to swap the cpu myself 😂 Thanks for the video! Next up is how to update my bios
You forgot to mention the CPU sticks to the fan and must be removed when they are hot. If you pull out the fan by force, you might pull out the CPU with it and damage the pins.
IM so happy i came across this video, (soon to buy a prebuilt)here i am wondering if im gunna be stuck with a Amd Ryzen 5 5600G processor an not even be able to run Tarkov :D
Upgraded from a 1600af to a 3600 for a difference of like $40. The upgrade seems to have affected my windows installation so I will reinstall windows i guess. Video was very helpful though, thank you!
Hi! Thank you very much for the video. I have X370 motherboard, would you recommend to switch it for some newer version or is it still good in 2022 for new games? I have to at least buy a new cpu because it's a weak link in my pc right now.
This seems easy and I will try it. Thank you But I have question, I saw research that stated there are three things I need to do first. 1st Motherboard with compatible graphics card 2nd Adequate power to supply unit to handle the complete power requirements 3rd Display with compatible connect Is this correct or not if you can tell me. This is what I am trying to do. Upgrade my PC for video and Music. I have a AMD A6-6400K APU with Radeo(tm) 3.90 GHZ HD Graphics The music needs to be upgraded with more cores. Thank you again for the video
Great job, very informational and keeping the explanations on the bottom shelf! I have a Ryzen 5 5000 series and an RTX 3070. I play a lot of sims like iracing and Microsoft flight simulator. I would like to run the settings on high and not have to worry about frame rate. What would you suggest upgrading to?
Man just wanna say good job, this is a great video 😀 and i have a question Okay so 5000 series is out now, is it possible to upgrade from 1200af to the newest 5000 series or is there any motherboard that capable to do that? Just curious if its posibble to start with the very budget ryzen series now and maybe in the future u can upgrade it to 5000 series with a cheaper price
To answer your question, yes it is possible. Like I talked about in the video, you must at least have a B450 motherboard though and your motherboard manufacturer will need to put out a BIOS update enabling support for Ryzen 5000 series processors. I don't know how many have done that or will though. AMD's 300 series motherboards are not able to be updated which is the motherboard series that launches with the Ryzen 1000 series CPU's. The word on the update to support 5000 series CPU's is it's a one way upgrade when you do it though. Once you update your board to support Ryzen 5000 you will lose support for older processors. Not that that is going to be a big deal though, as most likely you'll keep a 5000 series CPU in it until you're ready to upgrade to a new system.
Great video, i just stepped back in to the PC world, so much has changed this was a great video! I just bought a beginners PC setup, that has the A320 motherboard, AMD Ryzen 3 3000 Series CPU, and NVIDIA GeForce GTX1650. After wathcing your video its pretty clear i got the basic set up, so my question is what too upgrade first? i understand about not putting a R9 or even an R7 CPU on since it would be wasted on a weak motherboard, but would the R5 3600 be a better upgrade and then maybe the GTX 3050? The setup currently runs all my games fine, but new games like Warzone or the new Battlefield i wanna run better with better FPS. SO that said, Im not a streamer, im not a "pro" gamer but i do like to enjoy my games at a decent resolution and higher frame rate. thoughts? Advice? thank you for the video very informative !!!!
Sounds like you have a decent starting point. You could most definitely upgrade to a Ryzen 5 and that would help but for gaming performance upgrading your GPU is going to make the biggest difference. So I would probably do that first and then upgrade the CPU later.
Hey, thanks for the vid.. question, Im currently using ryzen 3 with GA-A320M-DS2 Motherboard. Will ryzen 5 fit my current motherboard? And will it improve my pc's performance?

Thanks for this, was planning on upgrading my 3400g to a Ryzen 5 2600 since the framerate when I play videos, like yours in the background while gaming, hopefully the 6 cores 12 threads will fix that fps drop
Does it work well with a 5500xt 4GB on an A320 motherboard?
Im using a r5 2600 running on msi b450m-a max pro(assembled by shop), won a giveaway r5 3600x on Dec but my country is on strict quarantine rules so now im studying how to swap the cpu myself 😂 Thanks for the video! Next up is how to update my bios
Thank you teck man
As a single mum with an 11 yr old who wants to play Fifa this is SO valuable. Thank you!!!
thank you, you are amazing
Appreciate this video and yea amd makes life simple and makes upgrading hella easy with some old parts
Thanks for the help for new pc guy
You're welcome. Best of luck to you on your upgrade. :)
Thank you it helped
i currently have a ryzen 5 2400G and planning to upgrade to a ryzen 5 5600x !! been wanting this upgrade for a while:D
You forgot to mention the CPU sticks to the fan and must be removed when they are hot. If you pull out the fan by force, you might pull out the CPU with it and damage the pins.
just simply twist the cooler off instead of pulling out
Holy man that pc explosion made me jump right out of my skin, lol.
IM so happy i came across this video, (soon to buy a prebuilt)here i am wondering if im gunna be stuck with a Amd Ryzen 5 5600G processor an not even be able to run Tarkov :D
Upgraded from a 1600af to a 3600 for a difference of like $40. The upgrade seems to have affected my windows installation so I will reinstall windows i guess. Video was very helpful though, thank you!
Hi! Thank you very much for the video. I have X370 motherboard, would you recommend to switch it for some newer version or is it still good in 2022 for new games? I have to at least buy a new cpu because it's a weak link in my pc right now.
This seems easy and I will try it. Thank you But I have question, I saw research that stated there are three things I need to do first. 1st Motherboard with compatible graphics card 2nd Adequate power to supply unit to handle the complete power requirements 3rd Display with compatible connect Is this correct or not if you can tell me. This is what I am trying to do. Upgrade my PC for video and Music. I have a AMD A6-6400K APU with Radeo(tm) 3.90 GHZ HD Graphics The music needs to be upgraded with more cores. Thank you again for the video
Thank you

Great job, very informational and keeping the explanations on the bottom shelf! I have a Ryzen 5 5000 series and an RTX 3070. I play a lot of sims like iracing and Microsoft flight simulator. I would like to run the settings on high and not have to worry about frame rate. What would you suggest upgrading to?
5800x?
Man just wanna say good job, this is a great video 😀 and i have a question
Okay so 5000 series is out now, is it possible to upgrade from 1200af to the newest 5000 series or is there any motherboard that capable to do that?
Just curious if its posibble to start with the very budget ryzen series now and maybe in the future u can upgrade it to 5000 series with a cheaper price
To answer your question, yes it is possible. Like I talked about in the video, you must at least have a B450 motherboard though and your motherboard manufacturer will need to put out a BIOS update enabling support for Ryzen 5000 series processors. I don't know how many have done that or will though. AMD's 300 series motherboards are not able to be updated which is the motherboard series that launches with the Ryzen 1000 series CPU's. The word on the update to support 5000 series CPU's is it's a one way upgrade when you do it though. Once you update your board to support Ryzen 5000 you will lose support for older processors. Not that that is going to be a big deal though, as most likely you'll keep a 5000 series CPU in it until you're ready to upgrade to a new system.

Great video, i just stepped back in to the PC world, so much has changed this was a great video! I just bought a beginners PC setup, that has the A320 motherboard, AMD Ryzen 3 3000 Series CPU, and NVIDIA GeForce GTX1650. After wathcing your video its pretty clear i got the basic set up, so my question is what too upgrade first? i understand about not putting a R9 or even an R7 CPU on since it would be wasted on a weak motherboard, but would the R5 3600 be a better upgrade and then maybe the GTX 3050? The setup currently runs all my games fine, but new games like Warzone or the new Battlefield i wanna run better with better FPS. SO that said, Im not a streamer, im not a "pro" gamer but i do like to enjoy my games at a decent resolution and higher frame rate. thoughts? Advice? thank you for the video very informative !!!!
Sounds like you have a decent starting point. You could most definitely upgrade to a Ryzen 5 and that would help but for gaming performance upgrading your GPU is going to make the biggest difference. So I would probably do that first and then upgrade the CPU later.
Thx bro
Hey, thanks for the vid.. question, Im currently using ryzen 3 with GA-A320M-DS2 Motherboard. Will ryzen 5 fit my current motherboard? And will it improve my pc's performance?
