I just bought the 4x8GB 4000Mhz kit, hope it gives me less issues than yours Is the kit on your motherboard QVL? If not I'd recommend doing the whole Ryzen RAM calculator and setting the timings manually.

Asus is very good with updates, you can check the support page: https://rog.asus.com/us/motherboards/rog-strix/rog-strix-b550-f-gaming-model/helpdesk_bios/ Their audio is decent, but I've not done any back to back testing. I've had no issues with the boards I've bought from asus (5 in 6 years all intel though). I'm yet to get the new one though

You can find issues with every board out there, I would go tomahawk over the -F. But they both have some minor draw backs. Tomahawk only has 5 usb out back. I personally think that extra 1Gb nic is a waste, and the hdmi port is not 2.1. So if you wanted to relegate this to a little media rig one day it's not ideal. The Asus doesn't have a usb-c header for cases and yeah seems to have fewer fan headers. Also more expensive. At the end of the day you need to figure out what features you need. Like wifi6 is really nice to have but don't pay for it if you're just going to cable your pc in anyways. I had ordered the tomahawk but cancelled it for a b550-E I found for a good deal.

So final update: B&H finally shipped the 5600x (ordered 22nd)!! I decided to ditch the ram upgrade and found an Open Box Asus STRIX B550-E for $199 on their site so picked it up over the Tomahawk. Easy decision for $20-> bios flashback button, error codes and wifi 6.

I've been thinking about it some more, and I'll stay with 5600x. At least this way I have CPU upgrade options for more cores if i second guess myself and I'll be on PCIe gen 4. It has also been a while since i bought AMD, think Athlon 64 x2 days .

Try recreate the issue using a benchmark tool like OCCT. Once you have a repeatable way of triggering it you can try different options in your bios. It just sounds like some instability with CPU and RAM.

Thanks for all the feedback so far! I was happy with my 5600x choice originally then came across this YouTube from TechDeals which got me thinking in context of the review from hardware unboxed: AMD Ryzen 5 5600X Review: 6-Core Gaming Beast (techspot.com). TechDeals rambles on a bit, but essentially you have games now days getting close to topping out the performance of todays 6 core parts (remember when 4c was all you needed?). I know games don't care for thread or core count, but merely the performance from all combined, and Cinebench seems to be a very good indicator of this. So if you consider a *future* game that can fully load 5600x like Cinebench does, you'll get a bit more performance from something like an i7, i9 or r7 - I'd opt for 5800x but it's just overpriced. I hope that made sense:

So I'm trying to decide between these three upgrade paths 5600x vs i7 10700k vs i9 10850k with Tomahawk motherboards. You'll notice ram with the 5600x, thinking this will give me the extra performance on 5600x to help it compete better with Intel vs the 3000 CL15 kit I have. I also need a new CPU cooler plate for mounting my existing EK velocity Waterblock (custom water cooling setup with 2x 360mm rads I planned for this upgrade). Option 1: I have this all on order, but debating if I should cancel and stick with intel here - as all I do is game but this build better play AAA's in 2024 @1440p without stutter. My 4c4t CPU is not cutting it.

If I had to choose between those two, it would be the Z490-P. Is the Asus tuf z490 or Gigabyte z490 Aorus Elite out of reach? They usually get discounted to ~$160 range. I'd only recommend spending more on these if you are going to get a K chip and throw an OC on it. If you just want the ability to run faster ram, then you can probably get a cheaper board and not care too much about the VRM and PCB thickness.

Been ages since I used an MSI bios, but try enable the 'MSI Fast boot' option: MSI USA

Yeah so budget and Z490 do not go together so well, that said I would likely choose: MSI MPG Z490 GAMING PLUS ATX Gaming Motherboard (10th Gen Intel Core, LGA 1200 Socket, DDR4, CF, Dual M.2 Slots, USB 3.2 Gen 2, 2.5G LAN, DP/HDMI, Mystic Light RGB) It has what's important to me, 2 x m2 slots, usb-c front connecter, enough usb, 6x Sata ports (at least 4 are 90deg), good enough VRM's and looks good. I've not found another board below this ~$160 price point that's appealing, but my needs are likely different to yours.

Disable any frame rate limiting options, like vsync then rerun the test. Happened to me

You'll see there are benchmarks showing it's better to go z490 +Faster ram but only you can answer the question of cost vs performance. Intel Core i5-10400 vs. AMD Ryzen 5 3600 (techspot.com) If you go z490, you at least have the option of getting a 11th gen k CPU in the future to OC, but if that's not your plan, it's hard to recommend intel here.

I suppose only you will know how much productivity type applications you use and their importance. Are you just hobbyist or making living from them, i.e. you can spare waiting an extra 20seconds for something to render vs paying more upfront now? We assume AMD will drop non x variants of the 5000 series and these will most likely become recommendations over the current 5000x CPU's assuming better price/performance like the current 3600 vs 3600x. But who knows. Any reason you are not considering the i7 10700k? What price can you get it for? In the US it's only ~$20-30 more than 5600x. In full disclosure I only game and overclock so I'm considering the i7 10700k, I have a 5600x on order and plan to pair it with a MSI Tomahawk B550; but debating if I should cancel for the safety net of extra threads. I have a full custom hard tubing water cooling setup for my current intel. So changing to AMD means new mounting bracket and likely new tubes to be bent which makes the cost comparable for me.

You'll only see a 2-3% increase in fps at 1440p with a 3070 per AMD Ryzen 7 5800X Review | TechPowerUp They are using a 2080ti in their test bench which basically matches the 3070 performance wise. I'd rather wait it out for prices to drop if you really want the 5000 series.

I've been considering a CPU/mobo upgrade quite a bit lately coming from i5 7600k which is 4c/4t - in hindsight I should have just bought the i7 7700k (4c/8t). The way I see it; since Ryzen introduced affordable 6c/12t a few years ago, application and game development have really starting making use of it, and no doubt this trend will only increase into the future. Since your use case includes more than just games I'd highly recommend getting more cores/threads than what the 5600x offers. Both LGA1200 and AM4 are likely dead after 2021, as DDR5 systems should be release in 2022. So buying now, I'd focus on getting 18-24t as that would be the best future proofing you can do. Looking at your options: I would opt for the Intel i7 10850k assuming you'll OC it (no point in getting Intel i7 10900k really but it's not that much more expensive so up to you). - These beat out the 3900x due to their IPC and the core/thread count should be sufficient until your next upgrade. - You have the 11th gen chips releasing in a couple months which look hot but promising performance wise, however they seem to be core limited, so although you at least have an upgrade option on LGA 1200, I highly doubt you would. Your AMD parts however seem very overpriced, at least ~$150 more than what you should be paying and I'm not convinced AM4 will support any more CPU's beyond the 5000 series. The 5900x would be your best future proofing, but at >$700 It's hard to recommend over intel.

That looks like an m3 screw, you should be able to find longer ones quite easy at local hardware store. Also look in your radiator boxes, should have a couple spare with the same thread, just longer or get them off ebay? As for drilling the acrylic, just a standard electric drill is fine and buy an acrylic drill bit. They are sharper than standard metal or concrete bits. Do you need to thread the screw into the acrylic or just pass through? That will determine the size of the bit you need to use.

I have the same grip type. I really like my Corsair M65 Pro but it's way heavier than what you want. https://pcpartpicker.com/product/ggbkcf/corsair-mouse-ch9300011na The lightest mouse which was still very good was the CM Spawn, but still heavier than 70g and no rgb https://www.coolermaster.com/catalog/peripheral/mice/spawn/

Tempting! but if you can, wait!

Yeah I think I'll just do that. I'm probably just going to get a new case (P500a or Lan cool 2 Mesh) and ram for now to scratch the upgrade itch.

How much coolant? Could your pump be under strain for lack of coolant? That video is so soft for me I can't hear anything really.

Wow quiet the difference in % GPU bound but no real gain in FPS 55 vs 54 DX12 Highest 1440p
