Unfortunately it needs a bios update and the ryzen 1600 is not supported .

You can request a cpu upgrade kit from AMD, borrow a cpu if able to or send it to be flashed.

Crazy in future no pc.parts at Christmas lol and thought buying this type and for price would have done things different but another thing lesson learnt about pc building :-D

Thanks my pc up and running now a friend had cpu that was compatible after checking site I could get in to motherboards bios and updated and now the 5800x is in its home lol and a lot has been learnt again ashame u learn the hard way like flashing bios button with brand new hard where and because it says ryzen 5000 ready on box means nothing and mayb keep old bit a side for easy testing like stock coolers so faster testing cpu etc instead trying to drag big water pump in and out of machines thanks again happy 2021
