I recently managed to get hold of a 5950X at a decent price. AS it is still an AM4 I simply replaced my 3900X with the new processor. The PC runs fine but I am just starting to overclock my RAM and whilst testing with PC MArk 10 it is just crashing my machine. I have raised a case with the developers and they are questioning if the upgraded proicessor is supported in my MB. I've been looking around and a lot of advice indicates that whilst it will run etc the VRMs may not be up to it and that a B550 board may be a wise investment. On my latest overclock I tested and it passed fine with OCCT and testmem with anta extreme config. When I was playing Diablo 4 it did just suddenly restart though so I am not sure if maybe I am getting to the limits of this board. If I do change what is a recommended board? I am really happy with this MSI board so would be quite happy to stick with MSI. REcommendations on their forums is to go for a MB with powerstages as opposed to discrete MOSFETS so I'm maybe looking for a board with this.
Thanks all!
