I have a Inspiron 5676, I want to upgrade my CPU. Is there a compatible CPU list?
I have a Dell Inspiron 5676 with a Ryzen 5 1400, 16GB ram and a RX 5600 XT. I would really like to upgrade my CPU to something more powerful. Is there a compatible list on dell? If there is I can not find it.

You're limited to the first-gen Ryzen CPUs, which would be the R7-1700x max.

@ejn63 are you sure? In 5676 PDF it says 5676 comes with 3 different CPU r5 1400 r7 2700 and r7 2700x. Is that a typo in the manual or is the r7 a different motherboard?

See below for what to check for -- some boards shipped in these will support the 2nd gen Ryzen CPUs while others do not.

I was able to replace my Ryzen 5 1400 with Ryzen 7 2700x without a issue. Now I have Windows 11 and AMD Smart Technology.
