Bit slow on Photoshop calcs / Adobe file conversions. New Processor?
- Thread starter Mel_P
- Start date
Well my premium bonds came up reasonably well in Feb so decided to go for 5900X - now installed and just up and running after the BIOS update done a while ago. Seems OK - at least it worked first time - both the BIOS update and the CPU swap!
I expect my grandson will be hoping that I donate the 3600 to him!!!!! He will need to get hold of an AM4 motherboard - he is on AM3 at moment.
Thanks all..

It depends what kind of features you want, but if you're happy with PCI-E 3.0 then B450 is usually decently priced and sometimes A520.
If you want a more modern board with PCI-E 4.0 and decent upgradeability (since their VRMs are usually more beefy than B450/A520), then something like the B550 Tomahawk, B550 Gaming X V2 or TUF B550-Plus Wifi, as close to £100 as possible.
I'd avoid the Prime boards due to their poor thermal performance (in HUB's testing) and I definitely wouldn't pay more than £120-£130 for any AM4 board at this point.

I'd compare it to the Tomahawk, because I'm not sure how their features stack up.Thanks. Perhaps this as he is not getting it for a few months?
