CPU upgrade from 2700x to 5700x help

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   hello. I'm not able to make a new topic so I have to ask question here.

I've purchased Ryzen 7 5700x to replace my old Ryzen 7 2700x. My mobo is AsRock Phantom Gaming 4.

I've got newest bios installed (used InstaFlash) the simple version of upgrade - upgraded it using the current CPU I have (2700x). I've read some years ago someone had problem running new CPU because you need to reupdate the bios using a different more complicated method. Does this still apply to 5.80 version of bios from 2026? Do I have to reupdate the bios in order to be able to run 5700x after swapping from 2700x?

	I am afraid I am not sure, you can look at this thread: https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=27091&PN=2&title=x570-phantom-gaming-4 It's from 2023 however. I don't have similar hardware of my own to test with. Hopefully another forum member can help, if not, you can open a support ticket and ask ASRock directly here: https://tw.asrock.com/events/tsd.asp?kind=MB Let us know how the upgrade goes.
