Howdy all!
I recently bit the bullet on a couple of upgrades for my PC, and would like some clear, no BS advice on doing a CPU upgrade, as this is my first time upgrading within the same Socket (in which case is AM4).
I'll be going from a Ryzen 5 2600 to a Ryzen 7 5700X3D. And yes, my BIOS is updated to the latest one.
All I'll have to do is take out the 2600 and then drop in the 5700X3D, correct?
The reason for my asking is, I looked around the other night just to be sure, and found a post from a few years ago on either Reddit or LTT, the OP having asked a similar question; One commenter said to uninstall the old CPU Drivers (The things included with the AMD Chipset drivers) before the upgrade and re-install the latest.
However, this doesn't quite make sense to me, because as far as I'm aware, I'd still be utilizing the latest B450 Chipset Drivers (correct?), unless I'd be "filling in some gaps" so to speak regarding software components needed by the newer CPUs (3000 onwards) with a fresh install.
Thank you for your time, and for answering my questions!
