Question Can I upgrade my Ryzen 5 1400 to a Ryzen 5 2600 without changing my mobo?

[javiercarapia0918]

I know I am in a weird situation, but my friend is actually giving me his 1080ti because he just got two 2080ti's. So, I know my CPU will bottleneck like a mofo. Is it possible to upgrade without changing anything else?

Yes but you will need to check to see if your Mobo requires a BIOS update for the 2600. Which mobo is it exactly?

You will need your old 1400 CPU to do the BIOS update

Update your BIOS first, or verify the one you have is supports the 2nd gen Ryzens.As mentioned above, list the exact make.model of the board and we'll help you if you'd like.
