  1. at stock settings, CPU clock speed and voltage are all over the place, so I'd assume it's hard to actually pinpoint the exact voltage that each CPU is running at. Given that both CPUs run at 67 degrees under load, at the same frequency, those voltage readings don't match up. A difference of 150mv will surely result in a significant load temperature difference. Why not overclock both chips to 4.7Ghz (as most people here manage to reach that clock speed) and see which one achieves it with a lower static voltage? That way you can for sure tell which chip has won the lottery, since both chips will be running with a fixed clock speed and voltage, thus eliminating variables.
  2. Good choice! Excessive number of cores will not benefit you in the long run. Long before 16 cores become the norm for gaming, those two CPUs will be equal to trash due to poor single-core performance.
  3. 650W is plenty for that combo. the 3600 stock draws around 85W on the package. The 3070 is 220W stock. Unless you are running 10 fans with a pump and some christmas lights decoration, the PSU should be plenty. I'm running 3600 overclocked with an overclocked 2070 Super (power draw is around 250W) on a 650W PSU with no issues, not even a whoosh from the PSU. Can people chill with the overexaggerated PSU recommendations...
  4. Stock voltage regulation is not going to damage the CPU. High voltage at idle or low load is not harmful. The voltage is being regulated in accordance with the load and current going through the CPU. Try running Prime 95 small fft and you'll see how the voltage drops below 1.3v.
  5. Weren't Intel's Sandy bridge CPUs the first to hit 5ghz on air or water? And that was 2011. It's almost 10 years since then, and no other CPU has managed to get to 6ghz without LN2. Not even a 1Ghz improvement in 10 years, at this pace it doesn't look feasible to reach 1000Ghz in 30-80 years.
  6. I'm in the same boat. I built my system in September, being fully aware that new chips will drop soon. My reasoning was that if the new chips prove to be really good, I will just upgrade when prices normalize post-launch. But after living with the 3600, it turns out that it's a really capable little CPU, fulfilling my needs completely, so there is no point in upgrading to 5000 series aside from just tinkering with it. In conclusion, if your current CPU provides you with a good gaming/work experience, you don't really need to upgrade.
  7. My mistake, thought he was able to return it and get a refund. Well then, it's absolutely a bad idea to spend so much money for only 20% more performance.

Country: Bulgaria Store: jarcomputers.com (the best price I could find) Ryzen 9 5950X BOX: 1704 BGN (1034 USD) Ryzen 9 5950X Tray: 1625 BGN (986 USD) Ryzen 9 5900X BOX: 1147 BGN (696 USD) Ryzen 9 5900X Tray: 1081 BGN (656 USD) Ryzen 7 5800X BOX: 951 BGN (577 USD) Ryzen 7 5800X Tray: 886 BGN (538 USD) Ryzen 5 5600X BOX: 669 BGN (406 USD) (from www.speedcomputers.biz)
  9. The overclock3d.net shows maximum (peak) temperature, while the techpowerup most likely shows average (sustained load) temp. Intel CPUs boost high for a short window and after that they clock down on all-core load. Ryzen CPUs boost indefinitely as long as temps are within check. AMD still consumes way less power, therefore requires a less capable cooler
  10. You wouldn't notice a difference on that resolution and GPU, unless you are playing low-settings competitive games. With that said, only 40 dollars to swap a 3600 for a 5600x is a steal in my book. If it were me, I'd go for it, because where I live, I'd have to spend roughly 240 dollars to do the same swap.
  11. With mobile CPUs it's not as simple as comparing R5 vs R7. Depending on the laptop manufacturer and the model, laptops with the same CPU could perform differently. So instead of looking at random 4500u and 4700u benchmarks, look at reviews of specific laptop models with those CPUs. Things that impact the actual performance are - cooling system, power target (some laptops are locked at 15W for the CPU package, others have performance mode which goes to 25W), Memory channels (cheap laptops come with soldered 4/8GB RAM working in single channel). Which 2 laptops are you looking at?
  12. Aside from the much better VRM configuration, you are getting more USB ports, a Flash BIOS button and 2 extra 4-pin fan headers. But even if you don't have a use for the extra ports, headers, BIOS button and better VRM, you are still getting more bang for the same price. So why not get more for the same price?
  13. As per cinebench r15 scores (the 8120 is that old), single core score is roughly 90 vs 155 for the 3200G. Multicore is around 580 for the FX-8120 vs 600 for the 3200G. In multithreaded loads they look on par, but for single-core use cases like gaming the 3200G is almost twice as fast. In conclusion, it's not wise to "upgrade" to an FX CPU

    Air cooling

    If the card fits in the top slot, put it there, wouldn't be a problem. As for the fan configuration, if you don't want to get extra fans, your current configuration is fine. By the look of the temps you are getting, 2 intakes and 1 exhaust work for your build. Only thing I would suggest is to move the top intake in front so it can blow some air in the GPU's direction. Best would be to put 3 in front as intake, one on the back and top for exhaust in order to create positive air pressure, but it's fine as it is.

    Air cooling

    CPU AVG 57.43717 CPU Peak 67.3 GPU peak 77 GPU AVG 69.53982 These temps are perfectly normal, both for the CPU and GPU. 67 degrees peak for the CPU is really cool and 77 degrees peak for the GPU is normal as well, considering the average temp is 69.5 degrees. There's nothing to worry about Also, quote people's posts or mention them in your own, so they get a notification.
