from the 1600 to the 5950x being released in roughly a 2 year span. i would say its not worth replacing your 3600 to a 5600x or 5800x because there is not going to be much difference. AMD Ryzen™ 5 3600 Graphics Model Discrete Graphics Card Required # of CPU Cores 6 # of Threads 12 Max Boost Clock Up to 4.2GHz Base Clock 3.6GHz Thermal Solution (PIB) Wraith Stealth Default TDP / TDP 65W Ryzen™ 7 5800X Desktop Processors Graphics Model Discrete Graphics Card Required # of CPU Cores 8 # of Threads 16 Max Boost Clock Up to 4.7GHz Base Clock 3.8GHz Thermal Solution (PIB) Not included Default TDP / TDP 105W if you were going from a AM3 socket CPU to an AM4 socket CPU then i could see the want to upgrade but not right now. if you are not having any issues, i would wait.

you forgot the RGB, the RGB is key to everything.

if you were to look onto the AMD site, where would you find the ryzen 9 5950x under the processors section? in the ryzen part or ryzen with graphics? no graphics chip so more can be put onto CPU performance and use a GPU to get the high scores on benchmarks.

are you blind that a 16 core cpu is beating a 10 core cpu? your the one who is ignorant to think that the core count has nothing to do with how the CPU performs. the more cores it has the less stress it puts on 1 core meaning it can handle more so i am not surprised that a 16 core is beating a 10 core especially when those benchmarks are on a CPU that doesnt have intergrated graphics and one that does.

really? 1080p LOW settings with no issues? what happens with medium or above settings? i dont want to get into the "my setup being better than yours because its just going to be going back and forth but i can easily run the game on 4k ultra settings with no issues at all" becausie it would just cause more problems then trying to answer OPs question. so 1080p low would give me something like 500FPS but its not a game i play or like so i would be finding out any time soon. by benchmarks i meant the 3d timespy benchmarks. as for the benchmarks you provided, i am in complete shock that a ryzen 9 5950x with its 16 cores and 32 threads would beat an intel 19 10900k with its 10 cores and 20 threads. who would have ever thought such a thing was possible? but stopping the sarcasm now. Intel® Core™ i9-10900K Processor (20M Cache, up to 5.30 GHz) Ryzen™ 9 5950X | Gaming Desktop Processors | AMD because intel is better for multitasking, amd is better for gaming.

run it? possibly. run it with good performance? not a chance. the 3100 barely makes it above the requirments to run the game and with the recommenation of the 3200 or above, its not saying much for AMD CPUs. the reason why AMD is beating intel on benchmarks is because if you look at those top scores for benchmarks you will see threadripper CPU and most likely see LN2 cooling. its not hard to beat one CPU over anothjer when you are comparing a 64 core to an 8 core. not to mention there are more intel CPUs in office computers because its better for multitasking.

that is becasuse that CPU was released 1 year ago. wouldnt or at least shouldnt be having any issues right now, if it was i would have RMAed it. plus being a 3 series CPU, you cant do much with it so it wouldnt need the drivers as well as the 9 seires CPUs. take cyberpunk 2077 for instance. minimum: Processor: Intel Core i5-3570K or AMD FX-8310 FX-8310 | AMD recommended: Processor: Intel Core i7-4790 or AMD Ryzen 3 3200G AMD Ryzen™ 3 3200G Drivers & Support | AMD yours: Ryzen™ 3 3100 | Desktop Processor | AMD your CPU probably wouldnt even be able to run this game let alone enough for decent gameplay but i am not sure as i have an i7 8700k so i know my CPU can easily handle it.

so you are talking about a CPU that was released 2 years ago this coming October and are wondering if there is a "current equivalent"? i would say they got a great deal on the price but not on the CPU itself. for those 2 years AMD has been having issues with their drivers. and not to mention the current AMD ryzen CPU is the ryzen 9 5900x and ryzen 9 5950x. for the ryzen 5 series its the 5600x. it seems that the base clock speeds as well as most everything has not changed from ryzen CPU to ryzen CPU.

if you are looking for cheap. then you might be able to use some other things than PC mesh which could work as good. like cheap low thread count bed sheets, gardening cloth, home window screen mesh. yes not the best and is weird but i did say could work not would work.

finding a front IO panel with power and reset would depend on what you are looking for. what i mean is as you just looking for the power and reset buttons because those can be almost anything you want like what 8tg posted. they dont have to be from another computer case. or are you looking for something like this? Obsidian 1000D I/O Panel (corsair.com)

with an EATX board you your options on a mid tower could be limited. using pcpartpiocker.com i took over 4300 cases down to 70. Choose A Case - PCPartPicker of these 70 i would reccomend looking into the fractal design meshify 2 and meshify 2 XL. Meshify 2 — Fractal Design (fractal-design.com) Meshify 2 XL Light Tempered Glass — Fractal Design (fractal-design.com)

its easy. remove the side panel and place it somewhere else. problem solved. but joking aside, you can order a replacement clear tempered glass panel for the 4000x but there are currently 2 issues. the 1st being that its temporarly out of stock. the 2nd is that the panel around the clear glass is white and painting it black may void the warranty. iCUE 4000X/4000D/4000D Airflow Tempered Glass Panel, Clear (corsair.com)

The cases I was going to name have already been named so I can't add anything on that. What I can tell you is to find the specs of your cases and look for the CPU section as it should have the info on what the max CPU cooler size can be inside the case. Then look at the CPU cooler you are looking at and see if the size is smaller than the max height for the CPU cooler of the case. I know this is a no duh but you have to take into account the motherboard thickness too

Yes it's impossible to do without machines that cost hundreds of thousands of dollars. You have the acrylic it sounds like so you can do the process slowly if you want. If it does work, try looking up performancepcs.com out of Florida USA. The make custom acrylic pieces

acrylic is basically plastic and plastic can be heated and formed into different shapes like most soda bottles. so it wont shatter easily if heated HOWEVER this does not mean its easy to work with. to get it into most shapes companies use a process called vacuforming in which they place the plastic or acrylic on a table with lots of holes in it. they heat the acrylic up, lay a mold shape under it and then suck out all the air making the plastic take the shape of the mold. i would give more precise and info but have to leave for work now

threads usually dont close unless a mod closes them for something such as violating the rules. after a time they will get a warning on them like ":this threaf is old, maybe you should start a new one". with what i have seen the best person to pay attention to on airflow cases is steve from gamers nexus as they are very biased towards cases with good airflow and will call out any case or company that says their case does but really doesnt. at the current time i would avoid anything NZXT because they are having an issue with their PCIe riser cables causing fires inside people's cases.

did the person you bought it from say why they were selling it?

if the cooler can be connected to the LGA1200 socket by a bracket then i would say it supports it. different motherboards will not call what they support the same. looking at a pic of the board, above the CPU socket i see 2 4 pin connectors, the one on the right says CPU fan, the one on the left says CPU something, but i can not make it out.

that is a really good idea and one i never would have thought of. or maybe buy an igloo or yeti cooler so it can be water cooled easier. lol

If you want to talk about completely off topic and wrong info, there are other sites for that. And as a repo agent I think I would know more about property and privacy laws than most others, even lawyers because most deal with it once it a while, I deal with it more times I one day than most will in their entire careers. YES all cameras DO fall under the exact same law. why? because there is no such thing as video recording. photography is one of my hobbies and as a hobby i learned this years ago. "video" is playback of pics taken so close together flashed in front of your eyes so quickly its looks like its moving. its why its called FPS (frames per second) if i was stopped by an officer i would NEVER need to tell them that i am recording them. do they tell you that you are being recorded or is it because they are police you know or assume they are? thjank you for proving me right.

I don't think using Wikipedia is a good or even decent source for info. On the bottom of the pages is "this page was last edited by x on x tldate and time". If there was such a thing as 2 party consent states then every person who lives in that state would have to have a sign on their vehicle saying "I have a dashcam and you are being recorded" for those that do have dashcams. All cameras fall under the exact same law.

Yes it most certainly is. It's common sense. You are never going to walk up to someone who is trying to break into a store saying "hey do you mind if I record your illegal actions?". I would look up so reddit stories because according to you they are breaking the law. I am working right now and will edit or provide more info later

You do realize that is only for officers of the law right?

you can ask them today when they do their livestream on twitch and youtube in a little less than 4 hours from now.

then the CPU that would be equivalent to the i7 6700hq would be the i7 6700. everything after would be a slight upgrade. if you have a motherboard already you can go up to the 9th gen on intel CPUs before haveing to get a new motherboard because the 10th gen starting using a new socket.
