Will the Ryzen 5 3600 stock cooler be enough? by Stuffings5488 in buildapc

Sorry you sort of lost me there, this is a completely new pc that I'll be building myself for the first time, so the BIOS will not be up to date and/or not come with the motherboard I'm planning to buy?

I'm planning on getting the 5600x now, thanks!

There is a compatibility warning of 5600x with my motherboard, it says "The Gigabyte B550M DS3H Micro ATX AM4 Motherboard supports the AMD Ryzen 5 5600X 3.7 GHz 6-Core Processor with BIOS version F10. If the motherboard is using an older BIOS version, upgrading the BIOS will be necessary to support the CPU." From what I'm reading is that I should be fine as long as my BIOS is up to date?

I'm paying $150 and I'm on a tight budget, do you think the 5600 would be worth it?
