shouldn't you be able to look up your MB and it's socket to see what will work with it ?

it does support..but wana make sure is it a good fit, will there be any problems etc..as its not a high end mobo

There is no point jumping on a 5600 from a 3600. If you decided to get into video editing and jumped on a 5900 it would make sense. The 3600 is already on decent ipc and ram support. If you are into gaming then save up for a better gpu or actually good storage.

The msi b450 mobos are some of the best on the b450 chipset and can even do a bit of overclocking. They even take a 16 core 5950x but without going high on the clocks. A 5600 is nothing for it to run. I have a 2700x on a msi b450 and its vrm is beefy enough for overclocking even a 8 core. They do suck because they dont support gen 4 nvme drives tho.

Do you really need all this sh*t?
Save your money and keep your current setup or get Alvar to build you a log cabin in the woods and spend all day whittling things.

i just want for gameing and also heard the 3060ti bottlenecks with 3600 is it true?

look up Gamers Nexus videos on the 3600

I just upgraded from a 8086k to a 12700k with z690 motherboard that has gen 4 pci-e and unless youre moving massive files about between drives you wont notice any difference in real world performance between 3rd and 4th gen nvme drives . I finally ditched mechanical drive and gone full nvme , my motherboard supports 4 drives so went with. 250gb for window and 1 x 2tb and 2 x 1tb nvme drives and wish I had done it sooner

Unless you are a e gamer chasing 240fps from a high refresh monitor the cpu bottleneck will never occur. Modern games will be too hard to run anyway to even reach those frames.

The difference will come with new games later on as does the ps5 show its massive jump in game loading times and other features requiring the speed of a gen 4 drive. That is the reason sony made the nvme expansion slot compatible only with a current high end nvme like the wd 850 or samsung 980 pro. The quick resume features and world loading have already started spoiling me. Even in gt7 it was a massive leap in load times going from a ps4 pro with a sata 3 ssd to a ps5. Actually saved time going to the other version

I have a 8700k somewhere in the performance class of a 3600 ryzen and paired with a 1080ti equalent to a rtx 3060. I play mostly on 3440 by 1440p and 4k. Never seen any bottlenecking on a 60hz screen.

Been thinking about getting a 12700k as a upgrade for a while but the e core thing puts me off. Why does a high end cpu need those weak cores? Anyone getting a cpu of that class will not look on saving a few watts of energy. Hope the next line up will have all full cores again.

tnx saw it, seems im good with the cpu..the only problem would be if i find new gpus a decent price which might struggle on my current rig

Pc works completely different to ps5 when loading from ssd . Pc will drag data from ssd to system memory which is massively faster and has massively lower latency . The base line now for a gaming pc is 32gb ram couple that with say 8gb vram and there is no need to stream direct from ssd like ps5 . The only reason you need gen 4 is for moving huge chunks of data and like I said in real world use there is little to no difference . I have tested my gen 4 ssd v gen 3 ssd and moving Huge video files and thats where I see a difference ,small data segments or running os I see no difference at all

8 cores with hyper threading give 16 threads to handle heavy work loads . The smaller cores are a revolutionary move by Intel and run all the background data completely separate from the main cores . On a normal 8 core those background tasks are shared across the threads impacting performance. You can run multiple background programs like discord ,teamspeak,capture software etc etc without any performance hit on the main cores at all .

You still playing at 60hz ?take the jump to 120hz or higher it makes such a big difference. I would actually say bigger than moving from 1080p to 4k and I would never go back to playing at 60hz

Hard to get those frames. Struggling to get a steady 60 with a 1080ti in 4k. Been thinking about jumping on a 120hz qled tv tho. But the consoles will never really hit 120hz in 4k. A rtx 4080 might tho. My 3440by1440 monitor does 75hz but i dont get many games that get a minimum frame above that. Need to invest in a rtx 4080 if it comes in on a good price. I just cant turn down the resolution to get 120fps its not worth it.

Amd was fiddeling with straight to gpu loading on there rx6000 series i think? Similar how a ps5 does. Fast world loading and no hiccups or popups thanks to that also. The quick resume thing is awesome. Just turn on your console and immediately get back to your game.

It is a cool tech but i would rather take a full 16core. Intel is struggling to get down there heat and wattage that is why they meddle with the e cores. They need to get on that 7 or 5nm soon.

Yeah I understand that but loading from system ram is about 5 times faster than the fastest gen 4 nvme
