They made me do it too, glad I didYou're all giving me the itch when there's no need to
No regrets here and the core scheduling works really well.
I have that itch too lol. I have a 5900x and a 4090. A 7950X3D would be a decent upgrade. Not sure what mobo and ram to get tho.
No complaints with my MSI Tomahawk and Corsair Vengeance C36 is pretty cheap and performs well.

what games do you play and res? also the 7950x3d will still bottleneck the 4090 ( res and game dependant ofc ) - might be worth getting a 7800x3d and getting the 8800x3d
I have two 27" 1440p 144hz monitors.
I'm going through my Steam library now, and play different games from time to time. Cyberpunk, Baldur's Gate 3, Ghost Recon Wildlands, The Last of Us, Path of Exile, Apex Legends to name a few.
7800x3d is a good choice too, but I don't want to go from 12 to 8 cores. I do other things, like video processing/rendering and I run VMs too. I also love cores
MSI Tomahawk looks like a good board. Need to decide on cooling now, and what modules of RAM to get, 2x32 GB DDR5.

I’m also contemplating upgrading from 5900x to 7800x3d. I have a 4090 already and running at 21:9 aspect on a CRG9 monitor. Reading the posts here makes me feel want to pull the trigger. My only dilemma is what mobo to get as the reviews seem quite mixed across the board and I’m disliking the slow boot times as well?
I have the MSI Tomahawk, brilliant board. Slow initial boot while the memory trains is unfortunately the nature of AM5 with DDR5. I have got used to it. It get worse with 64GB. It might improve with bios updates.

If you enable memory context restore, boot time after the initial training at first post will be 5 seconds or less.
Doing this can affect stability. I'm ok with the small wait and avoiding a OS reinstall due to corruption. I suppose it all depends on how far you have pushed the memory tweaks and if they are on the edge.

If your memory tune is stable, context restore should not cause any issues. However, I don’t use it myself and prefer to do a full train on each boot, I’m not bothered waiting an extra 30 seconds. Plus I generally only boot my system once a day.
I went with the 7800x3d. I play in 1440p and the FPS difference is too little to warrant the extra £300. If the next AMD CPU series will be amazing, maybe I can upgrade only the CPU. I think I'll be fine for quite a while now tho.
What on earth are you playing thas struggling to cope with your specs?
My system has no coping issues for the most part, but I do, and upgrading to AM5 will keep me and my mind occupied for a while.
This is my early Christmas present to myself.

Currently running a 5950X and itching to upgrade but the 7950X3D isn't enough of a leap. Next gen with increased core counts beyond 16/IPC gains and 3D cache will likely be the point I upgrade.
