Duly noted. For ~$200 that was sort of what I was looking for.
No kidding. I don't delve into the BIOS. I'm afraid I'm going to mess something up there, heh.
At this point I wanted to avoid having to buy a new mobo. Because that means I'm going to have to get another copy of Win10. Looking at your ad now though.You should buy my Ryzen 5 5600, Asus Rog Strix X570-I system listed
Alright, that's all it is then? I can "build" a pc by plugging things in and stuff. When it comes to BIOS updates and txt files I sort of get a glazed look over my eyes. I remember turning on turbo mode or something, and I think my PC wouldn't boot anymore. That's the level of stupidity you're looking at here, haha.
Ah, neat. I think I'm going to hold off on getting a new board for now. Its a solid deal, but not quite what I'm looking to do at this moment.
You can mix ram but your results will vary. If you don't care about fabric speeds, then mix to your hearts content. If you do, then it's a concern (you will want all the same timings and speeds).
Alright, so you're talking to a guy that can weld and field dress a deer. A little bit of this is a bit out of my wheelhouse.
If you can Weld and field dress a deer, that's more complex than what I am talking about. I have a lot of respect for both skill sets.
The upgrade will be significant. It was for me moving from my 3600 to 5600X. Night and day. Maybe all the metrics displayed won't look favorable but the overall performance smoked my 3600. Got a buddy that is still on the 3600 because he's too lazy to put together the 5900X and MB he bought MONTHS ago.... He keeps bitching about performance. All those issues disappear when moving to the 5000 Series chips as long as it's a 5500 or higher. I was and sill am very happy with my 5000 series chips. I have a 5600X and a 5900X and both are still great CPUs.
Yea, I linked the wrong thing at first.
Alright. Right now I mainly play World of Warcraft, but when I get burnt out I'm on whatever single player FPS games that peak my interest. Doom, Half Life, that sort of thing. I'm seeing mixed results on the 3600 to the 5700X in Warcraft.
Get the 5900X if you're doing productivity tasks. I figured when I got mine it would last me for 5+ years. Then I lost my shit and upgraded to the 13900K...
1440@144
Then don't go for the 5900X. 8 Cores Max, that's your sweet spot. That's what the consoles are sitting at and where most games are ported from (Playstation and Xbox are both AMD 8 Core CPUs).
IMO....Zen2 to Zen3 isn't a huge upgrade. It can be nice for people doing high refresh gaming. Or people looking to cut down render times or something. I actually downgraded from a 5950x to a 3900x and....didn't notice unless I was benchmarking. 3900x was still potent enough even, to encode a stream on the CPU.
mmk. big help.
You will see better FPS on the 5800X3D, all the time, over the 5700X. The 5900X trades blows with the 5800X3D, it's significantly faster in single threading and can edge out the X3D in a about 7 games (I forget which ones) by 1-4 FPS. However, the 5800X3D is the clear winner for gaming at 1080P. It kicks just about every other CPU's ass at 1080P which is important for all those Twitch, competitive, shooter players out there. It will likely deliver a significant bump in FPS in 1440P (and deliver jack and shit or less FPS at 4K).

Looks like you are good to go. That's the best CPU for gaming you can buy and a really good upgrade for that platform.
No idea how I replied to myself... I have been busy all day at work. Must have manifested my inner retard.
cool beans. I'll go that route. I'm going to wait a week though. I've got two vehicles, three motorcycles, and a tractor that I'm waiting on parts for. once I get those sorted, I'll order the X3D then.
Cool. We will be here to help you if you need it.
yaknow, I built my first PC about ten years ago. you guys here were an awesome help and I've since stuck around. good group of dolks here.
Yeah, moving from a 2nd Gen Ryzen to the 4th Gen 5000 series is a huge jump forward. Better something like 40% Better single Threading, Higher sustained frequencies, better RAM support and Fabric Speeds, Multi threading was almost double. It's a great upgrade to be certain.
oh? how is that?
The 5800X3D trades blows with the 7600X and even kills AM5/Raptor Lake in games that love L3 cache. The 5800X3D is basically proto-AM5. And you'd be doing this with a drop-in upgrade on a chipset released in 2017. Really unbelievable.
