Not long enough. With how things go, at best we gonna have price normalized at Q1 2022.

If you want more fans, might as well jump for 5000D instead of buying a 3 pack of LL120.

While the V2 should have no shearing issues shared in the older castle series, i would still proceed with caution. And besides, an air cooler is already a lot for the 5600X, so something like a Bequiet dark rock 4 or a Scythe Mugen 5 would be a good saving.

You gonna need a BIOS update to get this to work with 5000 series CPU. So either buy this at a physical store and ask for a BIOS update, find someone who owns a 3000 series CPU, ask AMD for a boot kit, or get a 500 series chipset board.

Was the AMD loaner for updating a limited time thing?

According to AMD support they still have that program in place.

So what would be a good motherboard to get for a 5000 series CPU?

[ProjectPatatoe]

Generally a B550 board.
