Good Evening,
I am considering upgrading my system that I built in 2018. I have a Ryzen 5 2600x CPU and a Asus Prime X470-Pro MB. I've checked Asus Support Site and it shows I could upgrade to a Ryzen 5 5600X on this board. I know I'd need to flash the BIOS to 6063 and I'm a little concerned about doing that. I'd hate to screw up my Windows 10 Pro installation and have to reinstall everything again. Any thoughts on whether I'd have a concern doing this upgrade. I've been trying to weigh whether to do this or just wait to build a new system based on AM5 socket and using a Ryzen 5 7600X CPU. I just bought a new GPU. I had a RX 580 8GB card and I have a new RX 6700XT on the way.
