should i upgrade?

[PeachGr]

Long story short
I have a B450 Gigabyte Aorus Elite v2 with a R7 3800x
Till now i have faced no problems at all, even after weeks of rendering (100% load)
I m thinking of upgrading to R9 5950x
Do you think that i ll have any problems?
For examble, will i burn my Mobo?
Are the VRMs enough to hold the upgrade?
Note that i will render again for days at a time

Please focus on the question and not on the financial prespective
If you have any reputable video or article about the topic (for the specific hardware), feel free to comment

The B450 Aorus Pro is listed in the E tier of the motherboard list, which indicates it maxes out on a 5600x

 

The list isn't the end-all-be-all of compatibility, but it is quite a good guide.

 

You could probably get it to work, but you'd need to improve VRM thermals somehow with active cooling to get the most out of your CPU. And days of rendering on end probably won't be good for it.

 

I wouldn't upgrade if you are facing no problems.

 

If money isn't an issue, and you want the new CPU, go get it. Get a new motherboard too.
