Question CPU upgrade compatibility ?

[techlevi]

Basically, from what I've gathered from multiple communities from tech. Considering my current setup and the only "need" of wanting to stabilize and improve Valorant FPS, I could go for an AMD Ryzen 7 5800X without any issues occurring, simply having to update the BIOS. I will ask once again just to be sure I don't make a stupid decision, is this fine? I won't run into any issues?

Which motherboard ? With all b450/550 and x470/570 all you need is updated BIOS but some b450/550 may not have enough power. With 5800x you also need good cooling. R7 5700x may be better choice because it runs cooler, demands less power and easier to cool while having almost same performance.

5700x It's almost the same and runs colder.
I've made it pull over 140 watts and I can tell you it's better than the 5800x.

5700X or the 5700X3D would be the best choices: the former for the reasons stated by prior posters and the latter because it's the fastest gaming CPU currently available on AM4 (you could potentially find a used 5800X3D as well).

You would definitely want to assess your CPU cooling because if you're using the stock cooler the 5700X would probably be okay (I'd still rather not use the stock cooler on it), but the 5800X or any of the X3D parts would not be.

edit: just checked your motherboard and if this is indeed it then I think I'd lean toward the 5700X.

None of those comes with OEM cooler.
