Can my omen 30l with a HP 8876 B550 Motherboard upgrade cpu from ryzen 5 5600x to a ryzen 7 5700x3d?

[Tyler136]

I was looking to upgrade my cpu in my omen 30l gt13-1380z with a ryzen 5 5600x cpu and radeon rx 5500 gpu. If I were to upgrade my cpu from that ryzen 5 5600x to a ryzen 7 5700x3d, would it be possible? My motherboard has an AM4 socket and a B550 Chipset which are compatible with the new cpu, but I've been getting mixed results whether or not the installation is possible due to an outdated BIOS. What bios would I need to update to run the new CPU and also does this specific pc have that BIOS avaliable?

According to the motherboard specs the Ryzen 7 5700x3d processor isn't supported but the AMD Ryzen 7 5800X and AMD Ryzen 9 5900X are.

Would you also know the latest BIOS that my specific system could upgrade to and provide a link to the BIOS installation

[Paul_Tikkanen]

Below is the link to the latest BIOS update HP has for your PC.

It is older than the info in the discussion I posted, so it is highly unlikely the processor will work.

If you look at the release notes for the current and previous BIOS updates, none of them added support for different processors.
