Want to swap AMD Ryzen 3 1200 for AMD FX 8350

[venomslasher666]

I have a pc with a an AMD RYZEN 3 1200 cpu and I really want the AMD FX 8350 but I’m not sure if it’s possible to swap and if anything else would need swapping. PLS HELP

1) Bad Idea.
2) You would need to also swap out the motherboard and RAM.

For the cost of doing all that, you could instead, upgrade to a Ryzen 5 1600 which is likely better than any of the FX series processors.

That's a downgrade, the Ryzens cores are much stronger than the old FX series.

Why would you want a downgrade like that?
As noted above, you'd also have to change the RAM and motherboard.

Yes, put a 1600 in the same mobo as the 1200, best value there.
Even a 1200 is superior to an 8350 in almost all cases, by quite a bit in some tests.
Is this in a prebuilt system?
