B650E PG-ITX wifi CPU swap

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

   Hello,

I'm swapping out a Ryzen 7 7800X3D to a Ryzen 7 9800X3D. I was reading on some forums issues with BIOS and back flashing or something.

Is there anything special I have to do before taking out the 7800 and putting in the 9800 other than flashing BIOS to 3.x?

Do I have to change around any MB drivers?

Thanks!

	You should be fine. 7800X3D and 9800X3D have the same IOD, so all the IO function will be the same. In fact, all AM5 boards have flash-back type feature, so you can even flash the BIOS with unsupported CPU installed.

	Hello! The only things you should do are these: 1. Update the BIOS to the latest version (before installing the new CPU). 2. Reset the CMOS before installing the new CPU. 3. It's not mandatory, but I'd re-install the OS clean, after installing the new CPU. (Otherwise, you can end up with unexpected errors & weird behaviours. It happens rarely though).
