November 4, 20241 yr Hi all, I am planning to upgrade my CPU from a Ryzen 5 3600x to a Ryzen 9 5950x. I don't see a lot of information about important things while upgrading the CPU alone, without upgrading the motherboard as well. I'm planning to clear out any CPU pinning before swapping, but I can't actually think of anything specific other than that. Am I missing something major (or minor) here?
November 4, 20241 yr Community Expert for cpu upgrade you probably don't even need to worry about clearing cpu pinning, unless you decide to give containers/vms more cores post upgrade. it should be an easy upgrade on the unraid side, just make sure your bios is updated with a version that allows you to make the upgrade you are planning.
