ok sorry im fine now! thanks for mentioning the corsair website! 

it should. Nvidia wants to sell their GPUs, so why should they not support the CPU. The CPU has PCI-E 4.0. The GPU has 3.0. So the CPU will adjust to that.
Unless Nvidia sabotages support on purpose, it should work.

But i have to go now, bed time.

If you have more questions, i can answer them tomorrow

Thanks for the link. That answered my question. For anyone else who doesn't already know, the answer is:  No. The max boost is pretty much the most you can ever expect to see from the chip w/o LN2.

This is the video about the temperature scaling

16GB is plenty today. What memory do you have?

Ryzen 5 3600 with a B 450 sound great, especially for that price

Baring that it's CAT 5e and you don't need more than gigabit speeds it will be no difference really. The main benefit for CAT 6 at gigabit speeds is really just the extra insulation and separation between the twisted pairs themselves. If it's the same cost or only a few dollars more than CAT 5e then why not get CAT 6, termination for it and everything with good tools is no different. 
 
Welcome to the Forums!

my 1060 holds up pretty decently in 2019 games and if not holding up well is the latest titles on max settings at 1440p to 4k yes the 1660 wont hold up well. don't go by what you hear go by what your experiencing and if you don't feel like your frame rate is enough for the games you are currently playing not the games you want to play in the future then upgrade. then in the future when a game comes out say cyberpunk 2077 and yhe 1660 can't handle it to the standards you want them to then you can look into upgrading. thats the way I evaluate things though. 

Ok, please post more information about your setup SmolPPMan. What resolution do you game on? And what CPU, Mainboard, Ram do you have. I think the 1660 is still good enough for 1080p gaming. I see no reason for upgrading at this time for you, when you just got a 1660 for your Birthday.

I agree with trevb0t. If you don't want to stream or do anything other CPU-heavy while gaming, go with the 4790k. If you pair it with a z97 (or most z87 from AsRock) board, you even got NVME boot support.

I still play on the 4790k with a Vega 64 gpu. Running 2560x1440 with 144Hz monitors. No issue with any games so far.

And if something should break, you can easily get replacement parts. 

400$ is a very good price for the whold 4960x combo. Usually you pay almost as much only for the mainboard on e-bay.

I am still not used to use the Turbo mode to overclock the CPU. Just tinkered with a LGA 1366 Xeon a while ago. Just upped the FSB from 133 to 166, and still have Turbo mode on top

No problem, good luck finding out what will cause the "downclock". Just take one Bios setting at the time.
