Thanks for the link.

Here is a user with similar set up as yours:
http://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=18129&PID=84211𔣳

But if you want to try it at your own risk:
First update to latest chipset driver. You can get that driver directly from AMD driver website, by selecting Chipset>AM4>x470> Submit and select your Windows Version. And download AMD Chipset Drivers. Install them. Then download
BIOS v2.00 alongside v4.60.
Update to v2.00 - reset to factory defaults
Update to v4.60 - after reboot. Switch off the PC, swap CPUs over, boot up, hopefully get into BIOS, reset to factory defaults. Hope that works :D]]> Mon, 22 Feb 2021 22:55:07 +0000 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=18200&PID=84212&title=bios-update-sequence-for-5950x#84212 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=18200&PID=84197&title=bios-update-sequence-for-5950x#84197 Author: eszed556

Current specs:

Ryzen 2700
ASRock X470 Taichi (P1.60 BIOS)
4 x 8GB CL14 RAM 3200MHz XMP enabled

I'd like to swap the 2700 with the 5950x. As per ASRock support page, BIOS 4.60 supports Ryzen 5000 series.

Can I jump directly from 1.60 to 4.60 or do I need to flash to all the previous versions in between? Additionally, what is the sequence of steps?

Update BIOS to 4.60
Shutdown
Swap CPUs
Power on
