RIP 5820k?
- Thread starter mid_gen
- Start date
Hopefully it'll work then. For various reasons I'll want to be on 11 soon after launch.
Tbh the 5820k is getting to a point now where even low end modern CPUs are a decent upgrade....although I would like to stick it out to DDR5 and the next AMD platform and alder lake at least to see the options....and wait for the silicon supply to ease a bit

Definitely getting time for an upgrade....but it does seem there will be ways to use W11 on a 5820k, so I'll happily wait for Alder Lake and Zen 4.
GPU is still bottlenecking my system, and I can't be arsed with trying to upgrade it.
The 5820k @ 4.2 has been running things just fine, Alder Lake 12600/12700 are definitely the first new CPUs that have actually got me thinking about an upgrade. Now I've got win11 running, I think it'll do me for another year.
Always had problems with the USB on this board. It won't boot half the time with certain USB peripherals connected...known issue they never fixed.
Well, I think it's finally time to upgrade the trusty 5820k. It's just a bit embarrassing now that my work laptop is twice the speed of my desktop (and some), and it really doesn't have the grunt to power my 5120x1440 display anymore.
I have two shopping carts
1x Intel 13500, Z790 board, 32Gb DDR5, 2 TB NVMe
1x AMD 7900 (non-X), B650 board, 32gb DDR5, 2TB NVMe
Can't decide which route to go. Bearing in mind I have never upgraded the CPU in my board, don't care about platform life. I've kept this X99 system for 8 odd years, and will keep this one a similar time.
I don't need bleeding edge performance and value efficiency, easier cooling. I spend as much time coding as gaming, so productivity is important.
AMD platform is more spendy by £100+ and a mid range board, whereas Intel gets me top of the line board and 4x m.2.....
Help me ocuk

Gone for the 7900, I think it'll be the best option for the long run, 12 beefy cores, nice and cool and efficient.
Says something about how good the 5820k was that it's lasted this long. I'm sure someone will get some good use out of it still when I put on MM.

MSI B650-P. Not much to say really. First time I think in my 30-odd years of building PCs that everything just powered up and worked perfectly first time! I need to tweak the fan settings a bit as it's a bit more aggressive that my old board, but no complaints.
Night and day difference doing unreal engine compiles, combined with a new 2tb SSD, fairly chews through it.
