Sell my Zen 2 or keep it?

[Xa3phod]

Considering selling my 3900x (I have a 6700K that works fine) and getting the new Zen 3 when it comes out. Worth it? Also, I am using the 6700K right now and I am surprised how well it still works. So, keep the 6700K (OCed to 4.5), Keep the Zen 2, or get the Zen 3? I mostly game with some video editing. If I am going to sell the Zen 2, I would have to do it before Zen 3 comes out or the value will tank.

 

What do you think?

I would selll the zen 2, but what o you do?

Well... If you want the upgrade and are gonna get the upgrade it makes not much sense to have an old CPU laying around? Whether or not you *should* sell it... I dunno makes not point to have a CPU laying around when you can have it pay a bit for the upgrade so I guess ..yes? you should?

sell it and wait for rocket lake

 

i sold the 8700k because it wasnt that much better than my 5820k a few years ago.

I wouldn't be impulsive.

In terms of value, do you remember what it felt like to take a car off the lot for the first time? You gained something yet lost every semblance of re-sell value.

Seems like an oversight. It seems like you've already made up your mind and only want confirmation.

A 6700k is still plenty, and delidding will probably get you a higher OC, although 4.5 is pretty good. Should last you years more before becoming a botleneck. The longer you wait to upgrade, the more you get for a money, like the people who'll finally trade in their core i5 2500ks for Ryzen 5 5600s

If the price is right sell it, use 6700k and wait for the benchmarks of Rocket Lake vs zen 3.

Yeah, think I will skip the new Ryzen and wait for Ryzen 4. Might as well.
