Want to upgrade cpu to 5600x.But read about horror stories of updating bios if i update to newest bios will 2600x still work until i put 5600x in it.Not really sure what bios i have now but its pretty old bios bought 2/19/2019 updated bios when i installed maybe bios 2901.Any help would be appreciated.

Apologies, you're right the F doesn't have USB Flashback. The latest UEFI will support your CPU however there's no reason to update till such a time you need to, so may as well wait and then proceed to use EZFLash. Unless I am missing something?

Hello,
You should be fine, however, if concerned about breaking functionality you can just wait till you need to flash before removing the CPU. Or better still simpy use USBFlashback.

Updated to latest bios boots up fine on 2600x now to put 5600x in no problems expected.Bios had me a little worried for nothing.Thanks silent_scone.
