Try your luck by just trying it out. It won't damage anything just wouldn't post if it didn't work

The question here is if you're looking to upgrade to a CPU other than what you currently have.

If you're looking to upgrade to a 2000 series chip (Ryzen 5 2600, for example), then yes, you will need to upgrade the BIOS. But if you plan on keeping your 1600, then you won't need to. Only upgrade the BIOS if you plan to upgrade to Ryzen 2000 series or above.

If you do plan to upgrade to, say, a Ryzen 5 2600, make sure to upgrade your BIOS with your 1600 still installed before you switch the CPUs out.

The Asus support site states BIOS 5205 will be needed to support 1600AF (2nd gen cores) processor. The 1600AE (1st gen cores) processor is supported starting BIOS 0217.

So if you have anything prior to 5205 you'll need to update.
