Might be a good idea to get the latest bios...non-beta and chipset driver then do some testing with the old cpu to make sure every thing works before the cpu swap.

download the latest bios extract all the files to a same folder open the folder then a differently named file appears, copy it in an empty flash drive/usb drive turn off ur pc in the bios usb port insert the usb in which the file is copied and press the bios flashback button for a while untill the light starts flashing then remove your finger.

once the flashing stops ur bios is updated and now you are good to go and you can change the processor without anything needed

Since the ryzen 5 5600x is cheaper would it work on a b450 tomahawk or do I need to buy a new motherboard aswell for ryzen 5600x ?

 

[zacharyyt]

I found out ryzen 5 5600x isn't supported with my motherboard so I'm sticking with r5 3600

This motherboard does support the Ryzen 5600X, but the bios update needs to be done.

they even show you how to update it

I think he likely does need beta to run 5000 series since last non beta released before the 5000 series was

non beta 12th June 2020, its likely for the XT series.

Yeah he needs the latest beta for the 5600X
