As an ex 5820k owner I confim this Paid 320 quid on lunch day if i remember. And 250 for 2400 ddr4 ramsyou could get a 5820k for 220 at one point. basically as fast as a 6 core amd chip thats going to cost you £200 now. 4 years ago.

The better x370 mobos supported 3000mhz and up ram. My taichi supported my cl14 3000 out of the box and worked fine with a clock speed increase at 3200mhz upon release.
It's yet to be seen what the upgrade performance will be on older boards. You could argue that Intel give you one upgrade path, a new motherboard
Why do people trot out this ridiculous argument?yep cant wait for all the apps on the ps5, adobe, light studio, all the accounting and audio editing stuff.
offices all over the world running just ps5's.
if all you use your PC for is gaming do think thats the sole use for them.
you dont need a £3000 system to game, its people's choice to do that. you can game at 1440 for under £500(with better than console details).

is it a false upgrade path though ? most of the times it is. older mobos also gimp performance. even if its a small margin. may have issues. you better off just going new mobo new platform with new cpu.

thankfully not for all of us. just need a new cpu (i don't need, i want!) and a new mobo - though if they are silly money for x570 i'm more than happy to go ghetto and use a x470 board. that paired with my current ram and gpu (vega64) will be a relatively cheap upgrade from my 1st gen 1600.Even rebuilding/upgrading your PC will cost much, much more than a PS5.
And that’s exactly what you are going to ...sell your 2700x and buy a 3700x lol
Is it ? Are you one of those old ladies that sit in a booth spouting rubbish about someone from a picture on a playing card ?
Just so you know, i have no intention of selling my 2700x and buy a 3700x.......................or a 3800x for that matter.................................................can i have my 50p entrance fee back ?
Once zen2 is released, those of us that move to zen2 will be selling on CPU's and probably mobo's as well. The members market will be full of 2600's, 2700's and in my case 2700x. Just hold off until the transition from one to the other takes place.

that was my fall back plan if it was a disastrous release but it's pretty much as i expected. my current combo (1600 + x370 giga gaming 5) is a bit, well basically it's a just a bit ryzen 1!! 3.8 on cpu (could push to 3.9 but little or no gains really) but ram is maxxed at 2933. no amount of faffing around could get ram running at anything better. absolutely no reason to upgrade though as it plays everything i need it to, just fancy some new toys really lolid just grab a cheap 2700 for 160-170. upgrade in two years qwango
These CPUs are targeted at those folk that held onto 2/3/4/5th gen Intel CPUs because Intel still hasn't bothered offering anything compelling. Just read the comments from the owners of those CPUs; pretty unequivocal in their desire purchase Zen 2 CPUs this time around.
I had 16gb Gskill my cpu overclocked to 4450 IBT Prime rendering stable with memory at 2666cl13. Cooling difference full custom loop with 360rad for cpu alone :] Now i got one of best WC setups at ocuk. Common 1080 exterlan Nova extreme thats x3 what i had back thenAs a current one, I cannot. Mine maxes at 4.3Ghz, and reaches silly temps, without being Intel burn, and AIDA64 FPU stable.
Even a base 3600X would beat the 5820K overclocked, as it would have better IPC, and reach better clocks than mine could match. Never mind better memory speeds also.
Edit: How much RAM did you get? I paid through the nose for my 2400Mhz at the time.
