PC Processors

I am currently on 7.4 Bios, info says the 5700x uses Bios 7.1. Can I not upgrade now? Am I forced to a new MB? Lower grade CPU?

The ASRock A320M-HDV R4.0 support list for CPU indicates the minimum BIOS version required to support the Ryzen 7 5700X is P7.10

If you are already on P7.40 then no further action is needed.

 Thank you. From What I've read, this seems to be the best combo for staying with the same mb. Correct? Thoughts? Also, from what I have read. the current stock cooler should be adequate? Nvidia RTX 3060 GPU  Corsair Vengeance 32G RAM. 1TB SSD. 800w PSU. I also see Ryzen 9 5900x is compatible. confused

The 5700X does not come with a cooler, you'll need to purchase one separately.

The ASRock A320M-HDV R4.0 only has 4+2 phase power with no heatsinks. Best to stick with a 65W TDP processor.
