The CPU doesn't have its own drivers, the software pertains to the motherboard instead.

The only thing you would need to update would be the BIOS, if your motherboard needs a newer version for the 5800X3D. Otherwise you should be just fine.

Hi,聽

I just ordered a Ryzen 5800x3D and want to know if I will run into issues if I do not reinstall Windows 10 after swapping it with my Ryzen 5600x, as I am using a Multi OS Boot with 3 Different Windows 10 Installs each with tons of programs on them that require me to request new licenses for a lot of my programs if I reinstall. So if possible, I really don't want to reinstall聽馃槶.

Current PC Specs

5600x Stock

Gigabyte X570 Aorus Pro

EVGA FTW RTX 3070

32Gb Corsair Vengeance RGB Pro 3600mhz

2* Samsung 980 Pro 1tb 4.0
