Posted November 5, 2020 Fell into some cash and forgot this drop was coming. Might look to snag a 5800X tomorrow at microcenter to pair with my 3080. Didn't realize B450 boards weren't going to work until Jan 2021 at the earliest, so looks like I am in the market for a new motherboard as well.

Posted November 5, 2020 5950x to replace 3950x which then goes onto a new B550 mobo (Asus B550F gaming). Finally retiring my old Phenom II 1090T (at 4.0Ghz) from active duty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately I still predict sold out within minutes. I would rather agree on what we share, than fight on what we don't. - Myself FULL PC SPECS ON PROFILE https://linustechtips.com/main/profile/454099-thinkfreely/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted November 5, 2020 I'm still using an FX processor, so I'll definitely be trying to get one tomorrow morning. I kinda want the 5950x but honestly it's way overkill for what kinda stuff I do, so I'll probably end up going for the 5600x. Having said that, if they said they only had 1 of any of them, I'd probably still get it lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
