After installing the new chip will I need do anything in bios

Bios was updated around August last year so bios update needed?

It's on a b550 mortor mb

Not done this before
 
B550 were 5000 series ready so shouldn't matter what bios your on, reset the bios to default then swap the chips over, dont yank the heatsink off you might find the cpu comes with it.

I was under the impression that a bios update resets all bios settings to factory settings lol

Anyway cheers working like a new pc now reinstalled windows all drivers installed not had time try games yet but already windows feel much quicker and snappier

Ran cinebench didn't go over 53c ran for the full 10 mins that's just on an air cooler so I'm happy don't need get an aio

Oh man dont get me started on that. My msi x470 board, every bios update wiped the settings fan profiles n all, and it wont even restore the settings from a backup saying issue due to version miss match. It takes ages to put all settings back in especially the fan profiles.
Now iv taken photos of each bios page so that saves a lot of brain damage during updates. And sods law the current bios will be the final one and no more updates ..
 
Another question

In cinebench temps didn't rise more than 55c running on all cores 100 percent utilisation for the full 10 mins run

After doing a windows reinstall just installing some games off steam I'm seeing temps upto 56c only 10 percent usage using 36w

This normal?
 
Yep, on low thread loads more of that power budget gets pumped into less cores making them get hotter and harder to cool due to heat density over small surface area. Chiplets is tiny

Have you tried saving your BIOS profile to a flash drive?

It's smart and safe of them.

What works with one cpu may kill another. And if that happened because you forgot to make changes, you would be on the phone at asus(or whoever) telling them they just killed your cpu.

Yeah, I know that. I just think that you could easily store those data attributes in a .doc file and the BIOS would be able to pick up and use the setting based on the name if the variable.

Sort of like the VMX file for VMware. Each attribute has a specific name. It would be easy to code a tool to pull the settings across safely.
