Yeah I just think right now it makes more sense to get a 5000 series chip at this moment, and second I don’t know how long will my 3700X would last, still a capable chip but I do think I still need that bump up on the processor for that is probably the one that bottlenecks the performance of my GPU.
5800X3D seems good enough for me to get, if there’s a stock of it, if not I might as well go for the 5800X. And no, I don’t think my motherboard can go well with the 5900X, correct me if I am wrong though since I am using a B550.
unless you want to go through the trouble of playing with your bios settings and finding the optibmal undervolt on a 5800x I really reccomend staying away as asomeone who uses the 5800x daily and went through the trouble using a be quite dark rock pro 4 to cool it I still had to undervolt the thing to get decent temps. I would wait for stock on the 5800x3d or 5900x. chipset has nothing to do with VRM performance there are many midrange b550 boards that perform way better then cheap x570 boards. the reason to get x570 over b550 is for more PCIE 4.0 slots and some motherboards have better features for stuff like RAID. if you had something like a b550 tomahawk, edge,carbon , ace or unity form MSI or form b550 pro or f, or a gigabyte b550 auros pro you have a motherbaord good enough to even max out 5950x on ambient cooling
I have the MSI MPG B550 Gaming Plus, and the fallback options in case there is still no 5800X3D in stock would be the 5700X or the 5600X. But yeah if there are no other options, I might as well get the 5800X and do a lot of work in the BIOS just to make it work very well with the temps remaining stable.
its not as hard as I make it seem and I only lost like 20 points on cinebench with my undervolt but also have it stay at lower than 80 degrees as a trade off
There are B550 boards out there than you’d be fine putting a 5900X on. But I was typing that message right before I went to sleep last night, so my brain wasn’t working at full capacity, lol. I’d forgotten you are using the Gaming Plus. So yeah, 5800X3D is the one you’d want to go with. Best part of that is that chip is that you won’t have to be concerned about RAM speed. It really doesn’t care if you run 3200 or 3866.
And it will be not surprising if there are resellers selling EVGA GPUs with a higher price than MSRP, and people will suck it up and just buy the damn thing sadly. But yeah it sucks that EVGA is pulling out on making Nvidia cards and I cannot blame them for that decision.
What are you gonna use it for?
if its not super sensitive Data, something like games,movies etc you can use WD blue or Seagate barracuda, good bang for the buck in terms of how much storage you get. If its something that is a little more sensitive something like a WD Red or Seagate Ironwolf are great (i use Reds in my PC and my NAS), more expensive but more reliable and there is a warranty.
Of course if its any sort of heavy program i’d say go straight for an SSD
Movies and music mostly. I was looking to upgrade a year ago and was looking at WD Reds too, but I don’t know if it would be reasonable to spend a few extra dollars on that
Yeah that card is too thick and I don’t think it’s going to fit my case even in some way I got a 4000 series GPU. Here I thought my iGame RTX 3080 Advanced OC is freaking thick, but that GPU takes the freaking cake in terms of thickness, and I don’t think it’s enough for just a GPU bracket to prevent it from sagging. Hell it might not even sag, just break your board with no warning with all of that weight.
I used the JayzTwoCents exploit(?)/technique(?) where I stacked a bunch of those bracket covers to support the gpu and it’s working great. I’m pretty sure it would work with 4000 series too or another solution would be to use a brace, which I’m not a fan of personally
NGL, I’ll probably try buying one off Best buy tomorrow. This thing will bring me much closer to my goal of a consistent 120 fps at 4k on all games. Annoyingly, I’ll also need to upgrade my PSU and case if/when I manage to get one.
, but considering it was a EVGA, at least maybe it will be a museum piece lol
