3600 upgrade

[233]

Given the billy bargain pricing of amd chips it seems a no brainer to get a cheeky upgrade for my
Mitx rig

Currently run

X570 mitx board
3600
5700 gpu
32gb ram

Mainly gaming anno 1800 atm I’ll be honest don’t need. An upgrade as the machine does everything I need but there’s definitely an itch for some new hardware and it seems silly not to drop a few hundred to get a decent bit of a gain

What’s the thoughts on going either 5800 3d or 5900x

5800X3D hands down.

Gaming only, the x3d, but the 5700X is £230 and would be my choice.

Only
Concern is it’s all built in an inwin A1+ so 650w gold psu

Seriously tempted with a 5900x

If you gaming above 1080p the 5900x is to close in performance to the 5800x3d and at £340 makes it a winner imo.

1440p but will go 4k once the new gpus come out

Today @Dirk Diggler was in a simmlar postion in his thread and went for a 5900x.

There isn't really a wrong choice but at £340 the 5900x is a winner imo.

3700x upgrade to 5800x or 5800x3d?

As thread title, I'm thinking of picking up a 5800x to upgrade from my 3700x, however I've recently noticed the 5800x3d is available and wondering if that would be a better option? Resolution will be 4k 120Hz.

just a quick update,
went with the 5900x should be here tommorow
added a Noctua NH-U12A to keep it in check and a pair of Noctua NF Redux 120mm for the bottom of my case (Inwin A1) to add a bit of airflow.

will flash the bios on my 5700 at the same time to an XT one and change the power limits up a bit so should be a very nice bump all round

No point recommending the X3D. So many people ask about X3D vs 5900X… in the end they go for the 5900X (prices are great at the moment).

You should have gone with the 5900X.

doh typo 5900x arriving tommorow not a 3900x oops should be a decent jump from my 3600 i'd imagine

 

[233]

arrived today and after lots of swearing theres now a 5900 and a Noctua NHU in my inwin a1
big drop in cpu temps - 20c improvement at idle which is fantastic to see and dare i say it even just basic use feels "snappier"

I just ordered a 5700X.

Yeah, 5800X3D makes sense if you have to have the best but it’s poor value otherwise.
