5900x or 5950x for best VR experience + more?

[rickje139]

I am planning on upgrading to a 5950x or a 5900x and overclock it to a minimum of 4.6GHZ, what do i need for achieving this and which CPU should i get?

 

Which CPU should i get for the best daily experience and no stutters in VR at 120HZ?

 

Waiting time for the CPU does not matter, i just want to know what would be the most ideal.

 

Things i do:

Develop games,

Play triple A games,

Have 40 tabs open on chrome when searching on the web.

 

Specs:

Case: Phanteks P400A

Ram: DDR4-3600

Storage: 2x M.2 ssd's gen3

Fans: 3x Corsair 120mm LL fans front panel

1X 140mm LL fan at top

1X 120mm LL fan at rear

 

Plans:

RTX 3080 Suprim X

5900x/5950x

360MM water cooling h150i elite (radiator at front panel)

x570 gaming wifi motherboard

Go with the 5900x, there's basically no difference in terms of gaming performance

yes, but he does develop games, so the extra cores will speed things up, also the 5950x is better at multitasking so

What about VR performance? I have a valve index and want to use the most out of it i possibly can.

 

Could i achieve higher overclocks with the 5900x because it has lower temps from -4 cores?

Hi there, recently upgraded to 2700 to 5900x. No noticable difference on Valve Index so far. My 5900x gets 4,55ghz on 1.2v so even without adequate cooling 5900 would do more than enough on gaming.

What size is your watercooling and what brand?

 

Whats the temp at 4.55ghz? is it manually overclocked or PBO?

Manual, MA620P in a H500M case, hits 77-80C on full load.
