  1. I used a 3700X with a 3070 Ti for a couple years, it was perfectly fine. I used it for 1440p ultrawide though.
  2. Have you tried enabling ECO mode for your cpu in your bios? I'm not sure if that helps while idling though (might only reduce power draw under load) but it's worth a shot. It's really easy to do as well. It's a setting somewhere around the overclocking options.
  3. Unless you care about raytracing or DLSS, I would go for a last gen 6700XT or the 6800XT. Very good prices right now and you won't run into any vram related issues unlike with nvidia with their never ending 8gb vram nonsense.
  4. Yeah I would upgrade your CPU with a GPU like that. It's a damn quad core from 2015 bro
  5. In my area there were 3070 Ti's that were cheaper than 3070 models. I got an EVGA 3070 Ti FTW3 for about 80 euro less than the cheapest 3070 but that was about a month ago when prices were more inflated.
  6. In my area the 3070 Ti was actually cheaper than the 3070. I think it has to do with the hash rate for miners. So obviously I got the Ti too.
  7. Asrock released a bios compatible with 5 series for only 1 of their motherboards. For other x370's you'll need an unofficial bios, so yes it's possible but it comes with trade offs, for example you might lose NVME support. For more information look here: https://www.hardwaretimes.com/amds-ryzen-5000-cpus-can-now-be-run-on-certain-x370-boards-unofficially/
  8. I'm still on X370 so if I wanted to move to a 5800X i gotta spend like 500 bucks. Makes no sense spending that money for like 10 more fps, especially if zen 4 is coming this year.
  9. Are you using it right now? Or using onboard graphics?
  10. I would suggest to go for a 3080 and save a little money. You can get close to 3080 Ti performance from a 3080 just by overclocking it. Here's a good video comparing them. About the PSU, I recently switched mine out because of a broken fan and I hate replacing all the cables too. I just ordered the exact same brand and model but added a 100 watts and left the cables in place (went from be quiet straight power 11 650w to 750w). Easy swap. That only works of course if your PSU is modular.
  11. I have a 3700X with a NH-D15 with 2 fans and a high airflow case, and the cpu still gets toasty. Even now when I'm watching a movie it jumps around between 40c and 50c constantly. When gaming it easily reaches 70c+. I think what you're describing is normal and nothing to worry about.
  12. Look into undervolting (lookup youtube tutorials, sounds scary but its not, very easy) and probably replacing the thermal paste.
