5950x CPU install into x570 Aurous Master. Inc BIOS update, and blowing thermal paste.
I decided to replace my 3900x 12 core with a 5950x 16 core processor. If you do a lot of work with your computer, this is a worthy upgrade. Along the way I ramble on about getting thermal paste in the socket and things like that. Here's a partial list of the items in this build: Here's the Icy Dock SSD tool less dual 2.5" SSD to 3.5" HD bay I was using before. I'll keep it on hand because it's handy and I just might need it again. https://amzn.to/3XNUxy3 IcyDock TurboSwap 3.5" Spinning Disk Mobile Rack https://amzn.to/3JrH2zU BeQuiet!
