I bought myself a Ryzen 9950X CPU to replace the 7950X in my motherboard, as my old CPU also needs warranty on it (fried GPU). I've tried updating the bios before with this issue. My 7950X is still installed at the moment, but I cant update the bios in the motherboard to anything past F11. I updated it to F31d so I can put in the 9000 cpu, but once again it hangs on reboot. It doesnt boot. I cleared the CMOS by pressing the white button on the board for 10 seconds too. The computer just stays powered on for a long time with no boot. Why cant I go beyond F11 when running the 7950X? And what am I missing here? Do I need the newer cpus for it to just boot? My motherboard is in my signature (Aorus Elite AX).
