Hello,
As the title suggests I have a new CPU coming in that I upgraded for CPU bottlenecking on flight simulator. My old chip is a Ryzen 5600x that I did the bios update with the USB stick when I purchased my b450i 2 years or so ago. The bios I updated to was f61a on Gigabyte b450 I aorus pro wifi. This works just fine with my chip now, however I have heard some conflicting things on different places regarding compatibility. The website says that the 5800x3d for my b450i works with f60 or newer bios, and considering I have f61a I assumed that simply swapping the processors would do the trick. However on reddit and an old thread on this forum said that the user needed to update to f63 to be able to have the chip be compatible (however not sure they had the same exact motherboard as me). And so I just wanted to cross check with someone before I installed the chip, since I only have one thing of thermal paste left and I have one go at installing it. Could I please confirm that f61a bios works with the 5800x3d? Many thanks in advance.
