this video literally saved my life 😭 i couldn’t figure out what i was doing for the longest but your video showed me the EXACT step I was missing 🤣 thank you so much
@@ayocloudz Yeah, there were a couple of problems that had me stumped for a bit. One was that I could have sworn I had updated the BIOS to a revision that included support for the 5600X, but when I went back to double check that, it turned out I was still running on a BIOS that predated support for the 5600X being added. The second problem was that to give myself a little more room to work with, I'd decided to temporarily use the cooler that came with the 5600X instead of the Cooler Master "tower" type I'd installed to quiet my system down a bit, and it turned out that the replacement mount that goes on the bottom of the motherboard that came with the Cooler Master cooler kept the stock cooler from making contact with the top of the CPU, so it kept shutting off on me because the CPU kept getting too hot after a few seconds. Apparently the threaded standoffs on the mount that came with the CM cooler are a little taller than on the one that came with the motherboard. Once I figured out what the problems were and after updating the BIOS and going back to the cooler that actually makes contact with the CPU, everything now works the way it should. I'm still a little stumped by the BIOS thing, but I think the most likely explanation is that I got confused with the rev numbers. Are you having a similar problem you're trying to figure out?
Just did this upgrade from 2600 to 5600x. Well worth it, especially considering the price of the 5600x at the moment. One thing that may help people doing this - make sure that your F60 BIOS flash hasn't reversed before you install your new CPU. Mine did it, but I hadn't checked right before dropping in the new CPU, and so I paniced when there was no POST. Putting back in the 2600 showed that the BIOS had gone back to F35 (no idea why, possibly it was simply trying to boot on the other BIOS as the mobo is dual BIOS). I flashed it again, put the new CPU in, and all was fine. Thaks for the help, PC Jack

Thanks! It'll boot but I highly doubt that motherboard would have a sufficient power delivery design for that much of a high core count CPU. Maybe check if anyone else has a similar config on PC Part Picker perhaps just in case?
It would work but if your mainly gaming there is No Reason to get a Ryzen 9 Id get a Ryzen 5 because gaming only utilizes about 4 Cores so you spend the Money to have like 8 Cores doing nothing
One note you may have to incrementally update you BIOS if its really old. I had to fo F31 -> F32 -> F63c to get it to work. Also make sure your chipset is updated as well.
bro i have gigabayt b450m s2h bios f1 and i need to update bios to f61 for icpu r5 5600g do you tell me i must download all the version start from f1 to f61 its will take looooong time??

I figured it out… for those getting “no image” bs.. Remember when this guy said you might have to download previous versions to download the newest update? I had to download F32 to F40 to download the newest version (so far idk how many others i have to download) but it started working (thank god). 3 hours in
Just had this problem, thanks for going through the steps to update BIOS and swap this processor. If you don't update the BIOS, system will not even POST with a 5000 series processor. Seems to be limited to B450 based motherboards.
Hi Jack! I have this Motherboard B450M-PRO-VDH (Not the plus or Max version) do you think its enough for 5600x? My friend says '' if u are update your bios latest one (Beta version) u can use'' what do you think? im using r5 2600 btw
Hey! That motherboard has a fairly limited VRM design however it should be fine to run a 5600X provided you aren't looking to do any overclocking. By now I believe MSI has support for all Ryzen 5000 series but may be worth checking your motherboard's support page for confirmation 👍

Do we have to uninstall any driver/software before this? Like Ryzen Master? Or is just: 1- Make sure bios ver. is the latest (check & upgrade if not) 2- Ground yourself & disconnect all cables from the motherboard 3- Clean & Replace 4- Check if it's installed properly in bios menu Thanks and great vid!
hello, I followed each step but when i put the 5800x in it loads up to a glitched bios screen and won’t boot to desktop. i know my parts are all working just fine (works fine if i put my 3700 in) could it be a faulty cpu?

Hey man quick question, do you have to put the usb into the red usb slot at the back of system or can you do it from any slot? Im going to upgrade my cpu tomorrow and just need to do the BIOS update tonight. TIA pal
I was planning to upgrade my 2600x to a 5600 in the near future, with the recent BIOS update showing compatibility for it on official page sometime in August. I have a msi B450M Bazooka V2. The recent BIOS download shows the AGESA 1.2.0.7 update. You think I’d be good and able to boot on a 2600x if I update it? Or should I wait until I get the 5600 then try updating the bios in case it doesn’t boot? I’ve heard a lot of people having troubles with not being able to boot on older Ryzen CPUs in the past with new bios updates supporting Ryzen 5000. Would appreciate a response, liked and subbed. :)
@@chasekite1 Everything worked just fine for me, I updated my bios and upgraded to a 5600 very easily. My 2600x was still working and operational after the bios update, so hope this answers your worries!
My friend did, the exact same setup, first time round it worked fine but the BIOS didn't update, despite installing and rebooting from the BIOS. So he tried it again and now the PC turns on, but he's stuck with a black screen. Any ideas? he's using a Ryzen 7 5800X3D and a B450 AORUS PRO.

Hi Jack, I'm not sure what are the difference between Mother boards that has B450 pro, B450 Elite, but what I have right now is the Auros B450 Elite will the Ryzen 5 5600x work after I update the bios?
Hey! Yeah if you ensure to download and install the latest BIOS update from Gigabyte's support page for the Aorus B450 Elite then it should allow you to boot with your 5600X 👍
@PC Jack I swapped a 3600 for a 5800x, updated the bios and booted to the bios made sure everything was running right hit f10 and saved and rebooted and no post and screen change too, but PC is on
hi jack, I currently have a 2600 (non x) on a msi b450 tomahawk (non max) version. Im planning to upgrade to a 5800x. There is a beta bios update for support for zen 3 but is that good enough? also will i still be able to use my 2600 on my mobo even after the update? I thought i heard somewhere that the update is one way and you can't go back, not sure what that meant though.
Hey! Shouldn't have any issues with the beta BIOS by now. I haven't with my B450 Tomahawk with a 5600G. Should also still retain support for the 2600 too 👍
Hello Jack, I have swapped over from a 2600x to a 5800x but after boot up and exit the BIOS I see a message that says: We detected a new processor which will change the data of the storage space for firmware TPM. Then it gives me the option to press Y to reset ftpm or N to keep previous ftpm. No idea what to do here, your help would be greatly appreciated.
Never had that message with a CPU swap before tbh. From what I can see online it could be that Windows has encrypted your OS due to your original TPM settings maybe. I'd take a look and see if you can find any recovery key for it to resolve the issue 👍
did you do this with everything plugged in and with your old cpu attached or did you take everything off and have a blank motherboard. Also is there a verison for windows 11?
The BIOS was updated with the old CPU installed and fully powered on. I haven't checked the BIOS revisions for this motherboard in a long time so I wouldn't know if there's any additional support for Windows 11 but besides TPM 2.0 support, a BIOS update just for Windows 11 isn't usually necessary.

@@PCJack Sorry for the spam Jack,but I thought could it be that because of the bios update windows is booting from hard disk with recovery version.If I switch it to boot it with SSD it should start with the old windows and all files in it?What do you think 🤔
Hi mate, hope you're well. Just bare with me as I'm a complete tech noob and really don't want to f anything up. So you mentioned taking out the usb and then plugging it into the system I'm updating the bios on. Sorry if I'm being dumb, am I then taking out the usb, taking my PC apart, fitting the new cpu, then upon booting, inserting the usb again to update the bios?
Hey man! I just meant more so to unplug it if you downloaded the BIOS update on a different PC to the one you're updating. If you download the update on the same system you're updating the BIOS of then as long as your USB stick is plugged into the appropriate USB port for BIOS updates then that's fine. You still need to update the BIOS first though, ensure the update was successful and then you can install your new CPU 👍
If you’re starting a fresh build with a b450 and a ryzen 5600x, how do you update the bios? My understand is your rig is already up and running on a older ryzen chip so you’re able to access the website and get the drivers. But what about starting fresh?
In that case you would need a CPU that's already compatible to install in the motherboard in order to update the BIOS and then swap with the 5600X. However depending what B450 motherboard you have it could have a feature called BIOS flashback which allows you to update the BIOS without a CPU installed. At this point though there's a strong chance that buying a new B450 motherboard today will already have the up to date BIOS as it's been nearly 2 years since Ryzen 5000 series launched now.
@@PCJack Thank you for this insight! Final parts for the build arrive in the next coming days. I’ll touch back here and let you know how things went! Thanks again! This really was helpful!
@@musabumair8819 Depends on your budget and what other features you're after. B550 is getting cheaper tbf especially as we approach Zen 4 so you may find some good deals and avoid worrying about a BIOS update on B450.

I’ve been having power outages the past few days and it was the longest 2 minutes of my life waiting for bios to update
You get a sub for this, Legend!
Thank you so much, clear and concise!!
thanks you so much this was very helpful as I have the same cpu. the only thing i had to do was shrink my usb and change it from nfts to fat 32.
OMG, thank you SO MUCH !! ❤
Thanks for the very informative guide!
I currently have a Ryzen 5 3600 with a RTX 3070. Playing mainly 1080p FPS games. Thats why I need a very good CPU and not that good of a GPU. I want to upgrade to a 5900x but the thing is: I still have a MSI B450 Pro VDH MAX. Should i consider buying a new Mainboard also, or am I fine with my old one?
Thanks in advance ;)
Thanks! It'll boot but I highly doubt that motherboard would have a sufficient power delivery design for that much of a high core count CPU. Maybe check if anyone else has a similar config on PC Part Picker perhaps just in case?
It would work but if your mainly gaming there is No Reason to get a Ryzen 9 Id get a Ryzen 5 because gaming only utilizes about 4 Cores so you spend the Money to have like 8 Cores doing nothing
Thanks this came in clutch
Awesome narrative.
One note you may have to incrementally update you BIOS if its really old. I had to fo F31 -> F32 -> F63c to get it to work. Also make sure your chipset is updated as well.
bro i have gigabayt b450m s2h bios f1 and i need to update bios to f61 for icpu r5 5600g do you tell me i must download all the version start from f1 to f61 its will take looooong time??
@@youcefall5334 you'll only need to do a few I think I had to start at F31 went to F32 then to F63c there might have been one in between the F32 and F63c I can't remember but you won't need to do each one. Took me like 30-45 mins total.

@rocking7768 if it worked for you should be no issues. My mobo wouldn't take F63 directly sounds like you lucked out
Hell of a video!
Cheers mate! 🤘
I figured it out… for those getting “no image” bs.. Remember when this guy said you might have to download previous versions to download the newest update? I had to download F32 to F40 to download the newest version (so far idk how many others i have to download) but it started working (thank god). 3 hours in
Just had this problem, thanks for going through the steps to update BIOS and swap this processor. If you don't update the BIOS, system will not even POST with a 5000 series processor. Seems to be limited to B450 based motherboards.
Hi Jack! I have this Motherboard B450M-PRO-VDH (Not the plus or Max version) do you think its enough for 5600x? My friend says '' if u are update your bios latest one (Beta version) u can use'' what do you think? im using r5 2600 btw
Hey! That motherboard has a fairly limited VRM design however it should be fine to run a 5600X provided you aren't looking to do any overclocking. By now I believe MSI has support for all Ryzen 5000 series but may be worth checking your motherboard's support page for confirmation 👍

Awesome thank you so much, that being said im not done yet but its updating! Lol
Thank you brother
every time I update my bios gives me anxiety🤣🤣🤣just upgraded from 2700x to 5700x
Updating your BIOS is like a rite of passage as a PC builder 😂 Awesome upgrade though! 👌
Do we have to uninstall any driver/software before this? Like Ryzen Master? Or is just:
1- Make sure bios ver. is the latest (check & upgrade if not)
2- Ground yourself & disconnect all cables from the motherboard
3- Clean & Replace
4- Check if it's installed properly in bios menu
Thanks and great vid!
Cheers mate! Yep all those steps are correct so go for it 👍

Hey Jack! Thanks for your video. Does MSI B450 Bazooka Plus work with 5600x? I'm planning to upgrade my crappy 2200g. Thanks!
No problem! Yes should be fine 👍
hello, I followed each step but when i put the 5800x in it loads up to a glitched bios screen and won’t boot to desktop. i know my parts are all working just fine (works fine if i put my 3700 in) could it be a faulty cpu?
I used to have that motherboard but I upgraded to the ATX version B450i aorus pro - B450 aorus pro/current i have the 2600 Non-X I am thinking to upgrade to a 5600x or a 3800xt i have chosen the 5600x this video seemed interesting since we had parts in common
You've got an interesting choice there. You after more cores or better single/multi threaded performance?
@@PCJack I've seen comparisons the 3800xt is better at uncompressing and desktop and that but I have started to play more games and windows 11 spreads load on all cores so I don't know if the 3800xt would be better I don't need to bios update if I am getting a 3800xt
I want to upgrade since my 2600 doesn't like 3600 xmp
@@PCJack i had to disable xmp im running at 3466 instead of 3600 i hope im not losing alot of performance
@@dvdr866 Yeah Ryzen 2nd gen is still pretty picky at times with the memory speed. I used to be able to run 2x8GB 3200 speed XMP Samsung b-die with a 2600X but couldn't post with XMP with 4x8GB 3200 speed XMP so had to drop it down to 3000 to boot.
@@PCJack Yeah when I moved to 32 gigabytes My cpu didnt like 3600mhz because before I had 2x8 3200 now i have 2x16 3600 I still get that random bsod every couple weeks or so I dont know if thats windows 11 fault because yk
Mine keeps showing the bios at startup, idk how to fix that??
Sorry I'm a bit late to the party. But if I want to swap out the 1600x on my Asus b450 motherboard for a 5600x will I be able to update the bios and still use the old 1600 until I'm ready to swap. Or does the update and the cpu swap need to happen at the same time?
good question, I'd like to know as well
Hey man quick question, do you have to put the usb into the red usb slot at the back of system or can you do it from any slot? Im going to upgrade my cpu tomorrow and just need to do the BIOS update tonight. TIA pal

I was planning to upgrade my 2600x to a 5600 in the near future, with the recent BIOS update showing compatibility for it on official page sometime in August.
I have a msi B450M Bazooka V2.
The recent BIOS download shows the AGESA 1.2.0.7 update.
You think I’d be good and able to boot on a 2600x if I update it?
Or should I wait until I get the 5600 then try updating the bios in case it doesn’t boot?
I’ve heard a lot of people having troubles with not being able to boot on older Ryzen CPUs in the past with new bios updates supporting Ryzen 5000.
Would appreciate a response, liked and subbed. :)
have you found an answer for this yet? im in the same boat and wondering the same
@@chasekite1 Everything worked just fine for me, I updated my bios and upgraded to a 5600 very easily.
My 2600x was still working and operational after the bios update, so hope this answers your worries!
My friend did, the exact same setup, first time round it worked fine but the BIOS didn't update, despite installing and rebooting from the BIOS. So he tried it again and now the PC turns on, but he's stuck with a black screen. Any ideas? he's using a Ryzen 7 5800X3D and a B450 AORUS PRO.
I just upgraded my cpu from 2600 to 5500 and there is no signal on the screen, dont know what to do. I updated the bios still nothing. The motherboard is gigabyte b450 gaming

same issue but hoi g from a 2600 to a 3900x .bios wont post
Hi Jack, I'm not sure what are the difference between Mother boards that has B450 pro, B450 Elite, but what I have right now is the Auros B450 Elite will the Ryzen 5 5600x work after I update the bios?
Hey! Yeah if you ensure to download and install the latest BIOS update from Gigabyte's support page for the Aorus B450 Elite then it should allow you to boot with your 5600X 👍
@PC Jack I swapped a 3600 for a 5800x, updated the bios and booted to the bios made sure everything was running right hit f10 and saved and rebooted and no post and screen change too, but PC is on
Can I upgrade from a 3200g to a 5600x? I've read that updating bios with an apu can be problematic for some reason. Anyone have any thoughts on this?
Sure you can. I can't see why it would be problematic with an APU. Of course you'll have to use a discrete GPU if you get a 5600X though.
hi jack, I currently have a 2600 (non x) on a msi b450 tomahawk (non max) version. Im planning to upgrade to a 5800x. There is a beta bios update for support for zen 3 but is that good enough? also will i still be able to use my 2600 on my mobo even after the update? I thought i heard somewhere that the update is one way and you can't go back, not sure what that meant though.
Hey! Shouldn't have any issues with the beta BIOS by now. I haven't with my B450 Tomahawk with a 5600G. Should also still retain support for the 2600 too 👍
Hello Jack,
I have swapped over from a 2600x to a 5800x but after boot up and exit the BIOS I see a message that says: We detected a new processor which will change the data of the storage space for firmware TPM. Then it gives me the option to press Y to reset ftpm or N to keep previous ftpm. No idea what to do here, your help would be greatly appreciated.
Never had that message with a CPU swap before tbh. From what I can see online it could be that Windows has encrypted your OS due to your original TPM settings maybe. I'd take a look and see if you can find any recovery key for it to resolve the issue 👍
Thanks for your reply. I reset ftpm and it seems to have worked.

Can u please help me. I accidently downloaded first te newest bios so i cant update that one what supports ryzen 5000
hello, i have a questions, my motherboard bios is F41, should i go straight to F64a?
did you do this with everything plugged in and with your old cpu attached or did you take everything off and have a blank motherboard. Also is there a verison for windows 11?
The BIOS was updated with the old CPU installed and fully powered on. I haven't checked the BIOS revisions for this motherboard in a long time so I wouldn't know if there's any additional support for Windows 11 but besides TPM 2.0 support, a BIOS update just for Windows 11 isn't usually necessary.
Nice video! Do you think I would be able to use my ssd instead of using a hard drive?
m2 store is better

@@user-wm9vg5zw9s Not a problem. What you're saying sounds right so maybe double check your boot priority in BIOS.
Hi mate, hope you're well. Just bare with me as I'm a complete tech noob and really don't want to f anything up. So you mentioned taking out the usb and then plugging it into the system I'm updating the bios on. Sorry if I'm being dumb, am I then taking out the usb, taking my PC apart, fitting the new cpu, then upon booting, inserting the usb again to update the bios?
Reason I'm asking is because you said in a reply to someone else that you did it all on the same system with the old cpu still installed. Cheers
Hey man! I just meant more so to unplug it if you downloaded the BIOS update on a different PC to the one you're updating. If you download the update on the same system you're updating the BIOS of then as long as your USB stick is plugged into the appropriate USB port for BIOS updates then that's fine. You still need to update the BIOS first though, ensure the update was successful and then you can install your new CPU 👍
A very informative vid! , does this r5 5600x support b450 ds3h gigabyte board ? With the bios update of course!
Thanks! I would imagine so. Take a look at the motherboard support page for confirmation 👍
If you’re starting a fresh build with a b450 and a ryzen 5600x, how do you update the bios? My understand is your rig is already up and running on a older ryzen chip so you’re able to access the website and get the drivers. But what about starting fresh?
In that case you would need a CPU that's already compatible to install in the motherboard in order to update the BIOS and then swap with the 5600X. However depending what B450 motherboard you have it could have a feature called BIOS flashback which allows you to update the BIOS without a CPU installed. At this point though there's a strong chance that buying a new B450 motherboard today will already have the up to date BIOS as it's been nearly 2 years since Ryzen 5000 series launched now.
@@PCJack Thank you for this insight! Final parts for the build arrive in the next coming days. I’ll touch back here and let you know how things went! Thanks again! This really was helpful!
@@zanderfym No problem at all 👍 Good luck and enjoy the build!
@@PCJack is it worth buying this mono over gigabyte b550m aorus elite or any other b550?
@@musabumair8819 Depends on your budget and what other features you're after. B550 is getting cheaper tbf especially as we approach Zen 4 so you may find some good deals and avoid worrying about a BIOS update on B450.
