Upgrading CPU

[Jkri4192]

Hello I just recently bought a Ryzen 5 3600 and was wondering if it is compatible with my motherboard, also is there a step by step video someone could recommend me or help me out?

Yes, it should be compatible with your MB. There are countless youtube videos that could better show you how to install the CPU.

How do I go about updating the bios? Sorry I’m new to this

It will work. Just gotta:

- update the BIOS

- remove the cooler

- uninstall the CPU

- install the new CPU and reinstall a cooler

         -  If you are going to use the same cooler, be sure to apply fresh thermal paste

         -  if you are going to use the stock cooler with the new CPU, just install that new cooler.

Are there any of the steps unclear to you in particular, you would like to have explained a bit more in detail? Do you know about being statically discharged too?
