RYZEN 5000 SERIES NOW ONLINE - 5950X, 5900X, 5800X & 5600X COMING NOV 5TH AT 5PM **NO COMPETITORS**

No requirement to, just make sure you update the BIOS prior to putting the new CPU in. Although, if you are on Ryzen 1000 you may lose support for that CPU following the BIOS Update, double check against the bios revision notes to see.
Another quirk would be the weaker VRM's. This shouldn't stop you gaining performance but it may hinder some boost capabilities. If you are looking to get Ryzen Clock Tuner when it comes out for 5000 it may affect you a bit more. AM4 all has the same power spec so I wouldn't expect it to actually break anything, so if you are being money conscious there is no reason to upgrade. You would most likely be better off getting faster RAM for that money instead (depending on what you have currently).
I'd test it on your B450 first. If you have issues or find it is limiting you in some way then upgrade to X570.
Intel Rocketlake 11th gen will be out early next year and will outperform Ryzen 5000 for gaming. Wait for that, probably be cheaper too.
It's not just for gaming and intel are going back to 8 cores max AFAIK.
I've only ever seen the 5900x sell for £599 when it's available in any of the big retailers so just curious what the RRP is.
That's the best part. If Intel try to undercut AMD then AMD have more room to drop their price even further. A nice price war would be good for us. More likely Intel will insist they have the gaming crown and will come in expensive, for a change...
Think its £510 but don't ever expect to see that sort of price here - Ferrari's and all that to maintain

RICH PEOPLES LIVES MATTER TOO! , tbh I was gutted paying 549 , but sod 600 notes
It's fine, I'm running a 5800x on b450 pro carbon.
Boosts to 4.7ghz all core with PBO off, the MSI b450s have good vrms and is why I went for it
I've had a 5800X running in the tomahawk max for about 3 weeks now and had no issues so far.
Running the latest beta patch D bios 7C02v3A2 so I would recomend going with that one.

i swear thats how much i paid for my whole computer a decade a go lol
5800X still did not arrive from official supplier.
But we do have 69pc due by end of this week from none official suppliers, and hopefully the 1000+ will arrive at any moment also as they are quite over due.
Thanks for the response. I hope you understand i only tagged Scotti because you were off last week

Just wondering if anyone has recently ordered a 5600X if so how long was it to process your order and get it delivered?
Ordered mine last week (bad timing I know) and with the holidays, COVID & high order counts I know It's going to be a while but any idea how long I'd be waiting roughly?
