Upgrading your CPU is a great way to increase performance in your PC when it comes to gaming, video editing or really any task you may be using your computer for; and compared to buying a new computer upgrading is considerably less expensive. If you have an AMD Ryzen system that uses the AM4 socket then this video is exactly what you need to learn how to upgrade your AMD Ryzen CPU. In the first part of the video we go over the physical removal and installation process, for those who are wanting some help with just that portion of their upgrade, and the remainder of the video is for beginners who are looking to upgrade their CPU for the very first time and are looking for information to help them choose a CPU that is compatible with their motherboard. I hope you enjoy the video and have a successful upgrading experience.
