I updated my Time Spy score and went backwards after upgrading CPU

The Peerless Assassin is more than enough for a 7800x3d. I was using the same model (albeit the ARGB version) on my 7800x3d and it kept it cool while running on my motherboards (same board you have ordered) silent profile. Many on here are using them on 9800x3d with great results. It's only cheap because Thermalright makes and designs their coolers in house unlike most others who outsource them to other companies. They may be cheap but the performance is outstanding for the price and they get within a degree or two of Noctua's overpriced efforts. Unlike most other cooler brands Thermalright have been around for decades and have always been known for high performance coolers at very reasonable prices. The first pc I built back in 2004, a AMD64 3400+ on socket 754 had a Thermalright cooler which was the absolute best at the time, a XP120, beast of a thing it was.

When you get your new motherboard you need to use slots A1 and B1 (first and third from the cpu) for two sticks of memory. Update the bios to the latest version as well as there have been many compatibility fixes since launch. You will need the latest chipset driver as well. Before swapping boards you may have to do something with TPM as it will probably throw a hissy fit when detecting a completely different motherboard, unless you are doing a fresh install of windows then it's irrelevant.

Thank you yes the value of the TR PA is special, glad you think it's enough (saves me MORE cash!)

A1 and B1 ?? OW crap have I been doing it wrong haha on my GB GAMING X AX I swear it says use A2 and B2 ? (2nd and 4th from CPU position)

The Asus B650E-F uses different slots to your current motherboard which is why I stated which ones to use when it arrives. The slots you are using right now are correct for your current board. It's ridiculous that different manufacturers do things differently when the motherboards all do basically the same thing. They even call different options in the bios by different names which confuses things even more!! There should be a standard that all manufacturers have to stick to but I can't see that ever happening.
