upgrade my cpu

[water bottle]

Hi, I want to upgrade my cpu, I want a new one in the same price-range of the i7-10700K, I plan to upgrade my motherboard as well, so it can be compatible to the new cpu, a friend of mine told me that my ram ( 2400mhz ) isn't fast enough to a new amd processor, how does that work? how fast should it be?

Thanks in advance

because there are multiple ccxs and an interconnect in worse latency. intel also does have latency.

preferably 3200 cl16 and better,

what current setup do you have? budget? workload?

my current setup is a i5 7400, 1660 super, 16GB ram 2400hz, ga-h110m-h, 1tb hdd and a cv550, my budget is about 570 dollars, but the prices in my country might be different to yours, I don't really work in this pc, it's only for gaming and streaming

you could wait for zen 3. and use nvec for now. 

but to answer your question. a 3600 with a b500 a pro or an aorus pro and a ripjaws kit should be good enough, or you can keep your original kit and see how far you can go with it ( in terms of manual overclocking) though i recommend waiting for zen 3.

I'll wait then, but what's nvec?

turing nvec, the hardware encoder on your gpu, just as good as x264 with little to no performance hit.

What RAM timings? If you get them low enough and manually set your Infinity fabric (that is when you get Ryzen later on) it can be fine or you can at least wait a bit

oh, I've been using this without knowing, but thanks anyway

yea just wait for zen 3 and use nvec for now and then decide to which platform you want to switch to. 

and if you want, get a better kit as well or see how far you can go with manual overclocking.

I'll just wait

I'll get a new kit, is the ripjaw better than hyperx predator ?

brand doesnt really matter, what matters is the frequency, latency and the IC's that are being used.

wha'ts IC ?

frequency and latency are the same in both, I'll try to get the ripjaws since they are cheaper

and that is?

the chips that are being used. like b die, rev e, mjr etc.

 Frequency: 3200MHz

 Latency: CL16

Is there a link I can see which chips are better?

Nvenc is the encoder used by Nvidia. AMDs alternative is called VCE

You don't have to worry about that u Les you're going for DDR4-3800 at low latencies.

if both are rated at the same freqency and latency, they are probably similar or identical. 

though you wont be able to get to 3200 with your current board.

I'll go for the cheaper then.
I'll probably buy the new kit together with the new cpu and motherboard.

Best thing to do. Just wait till September

No way dd4-3800 is waaay too expensive here, I'll probably go for dd4-3200

Wait and see how Zen 3 treats memory speeds.

yup, thanks for all the help
