Quick question? Just received an MSi MAG B550 Tomahawk and on the box it states Ryzen 5000 Series Processors Ready in silver. Does this mean the BIOS has the support for me to plop a 5600x in?
Caporegime
Yup.
Just took delivery of my 5950X £799.98 + £11.50 carriage chargeI couldn't wait any longer for the price to go back to what it was
I feel you, i am twitching like a crack addict watching prices move.

My great timing as usual - only just bought one on wednesday. 
Wonder if I can get a refund on the difference......

I have a 5900x being delivered today, they seem pretty available at the moment. Question I have a Scythe Mugen 5, Are there any superior fans to add to this over the stock fan?
Soldato
Depends if you want quiet or performance. I use the Corsair ML fans, 120 & 140 throughout and they are very controllable, very quiet with good performance. They are PWM and need the 12 volts for the magnetic levitation.

Scythe fans are nice and quiet, in my experience.

Thanks for this mate, yes its a tough call for sure, performance is the always goal but I can appreciate the silence too.
Yes, the fan that comes with it seems solid to be honest for the quiet, I have added a 2nd fan but that's probs not doing a 100% job. I can see me just adding another scythe fan just to match. Thanks for your input chaps

Now that's the kind of price i'm looking for for the 5900X, my next problem, picking a mobo, do I stick with ITX or back to ATX D:

So how much difference would a 5800x be over my 3800xt?
Looking to get either a 3070 or 3080... More leaning to a 3080

Up to this sort of level, if we take the 3950X as a substitute for your 3800XT; 88 vs 128 = about +45%
Zen 3 is just seriously quick.

Buy the 5900x for £449 from ocuk. It's a no brainer.

Depends a lot on what res you game at. 1440P or 4K and its not major. 1080P and not very demanding titles the gains are substantial.
Hardly any difference at all if you game at 1440P or above which I'd assume you would be with either of the above Gpus.
Definetly go for a 3080 over a 3070 though as your looking at around 25% more performance and the 2gb extra VRAM adds more futureproofing.

I can either game on my 1440p monitor or hoodnit up to my LG CX which is 4k 120
Yeah I think I'll 100% go for the 3080, seems to be the sweet spot, it'll mainly be 1440 gaming so think I'll hold out on the 3800xt too
