To be fair I have a power meter on my computer, and the electricity my computer uses is nothing compared to the rest of the house. Heating Oven Refrigitator is like 99% of the electric bill here.
The Ryzen 7 5700X is an excellent sleeper beast CPU. I had to grab one when they dropped below 200 bucks. I even snagged a Ryzen 5 5600 when around 100 bucks. I'm glad I waited and these puppies basically transformed my old Zen/Zen+ Pc's into new. Simple drop in upgrade bliss. The 5700X is amazing value especially if on existing AMD platform. Thanks Brian for the video!
I'm a software developer. I've only used laptop for work. My laptop has a Ryzen 5 5600H. I've been thinking about building a PC for programming, graphic design, and gaming. Is the Ryzen 7 5700X good? I thought about buying the 5800X. But I've been hearing that the 5700X is more power efficient.
@@arunk2710 Since you gave me some info on your work flow/Gaming usage, I would skip the 7 series and go with 12 cores and 24 threads? The Ryzen 9 5900x is reasonably priced and A perfect use case for you. As for the temps you can use PBO+Curve to reduced thermals without requiring exotic cooling. (Decent Air cooler) I have the same 105 watt Ryzen 7 5800X using that power/heat reducing UEFI/Bios feature on an air cooler. Good luck on your build! Peace!
I upgraded to the 5700X from a 3900X a few months ago. What a joy of a CPU. The low power consumption sold me on it. I know a lot of people couldn't care less, but for me, seeing my system power draw drop by 50w, while actually gaming faster, cooler and quieter, brings a smile. Update: Looking at the responses to my post, seems some people can't get over why anyone would swap a 12 core CPU for 8 Core. I've personally regretted buying a 12 core CPU. When you use a PC for hi res single player games, no competitive MP, no 1080p, no productivity software, the only thing 12 cores get you is heat and noise, and lowering heat and noise is a priority for me. Now my games run 15% faster, 20 degrees cooler, 10 dB quieter and use up less electricity. And when the time comes to upgrade again, unless there's a real advantage for 12 cores in the way I use the system, I'll go, once again, for the lowest power draw 8 core CPU that gets the job done.
That is not an upgrade it’s a side grade. You literally went from 12 cores and 24 threads to 8 cores and 16 threads. That makes no sense at all. If you needed just better gaming performance than the 5800x3d would have made alot more sense or a 5950x at least.
I was gonna spend the extra and get a 5800X3D to upgrade from my 3600 just to have the best of the generation, but the extra $100+ just doesn't seem worth it. Probably gonna go with the 5700X and tune it.
Great review. I built my rig based on the rizen 5700g/b550 Christmas 2021 at £259. I'm so glad I did. It's allowed me to play games albeit at 1080p res on my 1440p monitor at very reasonable fps. When I eventually get a 1440p GPU for a decent price hopefully before summer. The PCI express being only 3x won't make much difference. Maybe TYC should review the 8core 5700g. Very low tdp & bundled with amd cooler. Plus it's even cheaper now at £170
I just picked up the 5700x for $265AUD to replace my 3600. I was contemplating either the 5800x3d or 5900x but they were double the price of the 5700x and for a mixed use family gaming and work computer the performance increase just didn't scream double. The notional saving can either go towards cost of living (I feel like a pelican - no matter where I look there's always an enormous bill right in front of my face) or towards replacing my 1660 Super for something that will run 1080p ultra at 100+ fps for a couple of years.
@@FarissimoID i had a 3600x and upgraded to the 5700x a few months ago. I noticed better 1% lows and better average frames. I personally think its a worthy upgrade over the 3600/3600x

Im going for the black on black "Murdered out" look with red lights on the Plats, and fans. I go to Micro Center Houston on Saturday to pick it all up. I've been saving 2 years for this.
Have a friend that got a deal on a fairly new 4080 for 800. He had an x570 mobo and ive been helping him make a build to replace his prebuilt. I wasnt able to convince him to get the 5800x3d to pair it with his card, but he did agree to the 5700x. Looked up some benches and its not terrible. He'll still get top end performance especially since he is a 4k gamer. There is gonna be 10%+/- bottleneck in newer titles. But not enough to ruin the experiance. I guess when he eventually has problems ill trade him an x3d chip and use his 5700x to upgrade my sister's 3950x.
I have the 5700x on my newly built pc paired with some gen4 m.2 ssd and boy must I say, coming from a 4th gen intel i5, the transition was mind blowing! truly a feelsgood man moment... But since the budget was short, I had to temporarily pair it with a GT 710 just so I can actually use it. Fortunately, paycheck's coming in again soon and I'm looking to get a 6700xt to pair it with and I can't freaking wait!!
What GPU? I'm currently on a 3600 at 4.4Ghz with a 6700xt and was tempted to try the 5700x but most benchmarks I've seen with 6700xt the FPS are basically the same between both CPU's.
@@dtrain8335 not worth it for u unless u play a specific competitive game that is CPU bound and u need that extra power, but for most games it is not worth it
Mine just came in yesterday as an upgrade from my 3600. Mainly wanted it in order to get the most out of my AM4 board while not spending too much and keeping my old cooler, very satisfied with the upgrade so far.
I was in the same boat! Had a 3600x and upgraded to the 5700x in November. Its a great 8 core cpu especially for the price. The power usage is great and isnt hard to keep cool. I instantly noticed better frames when I upgraded. The 5700x will hold us over on AM4 for a little while longer with no problems
Upgraded from a 1700 since release to this 5700x. It's pretty nuts how much value I got out of this platform. A nearly 6 year old b350 mobo that's about to turn into a home lab.
I've been on the fence about getting a 5700x since I've been slightly bottlenecking with my 3600 and 3060ti. This video has influenced my decision for sure. The gaming and productivity perf increase seems good plus I already have an Arctic freezer cooler. Thank you!
i'm same specs as you, 3600 and 3060ti and i'm bottlenecked a bit in phantom liberty cpu goes 80+% usage in big city areas and i'm dropping fps from 60 to as low as 40-45. considering to get one for BF if they give some good offers (i've been tempted to go AM5 and 7700x but maybe i can breathe some more life if i swap just cpu)
AM4 Socket is legendary! I just updated 3x gaming PCs using 5600(x) and my main work PC with 5700g from 3200g and I can see 5yrs use out of them. I love this platform. 5700x is fast becoming a great alternative to a 5600x now that prices are plummeting!
The 5600 or 5600X (virtually identical) needed to be in these benchmarks, because it is well known that they perform about the same as the 5700X and 5800X in most games, and they are both significantly cheaper. People need to know whether (and to what extent) the performance advantages are of having two more cores, and for which games it makes a difference.
I would guess that a 5700X is starting to make more sense for a gaming PC now, especially because the only upgrade option you have for gaming on an AM4 board is to go up to the rather expensive 5800X3D, so, given that a lot of people will probably want to try to make their Zen 3 cpu last a bit longer on this platform (because there are no more advanced architecture cpus available for Zen 4), having 8-cores might matter a bit more for "future proofing" to some extent. Also, some games do seem to run better on an 8-core Zen 3 CPU vs. a 6-core Zen 3 CPU. Still, as far as I can tell, most games run about the same on 6-core Zen 3 CPUs, and the games which do run better on an 8-core are not likely to see a meaningful difference with a more mid-ranged GPU, and even with a high-end GPU, the performance difference is not likely to be that big (not nearly as big as the difference in the number of cores).
Given the inflated gpu pricing, By the time I am getting a 4090 equivalent performing card, I am likely looking at something like an am6 platform, so a 5700x is a very good value.
You can shoot lower. You can get a $120 5500 which is in all cases faster than 3600, not always but sometimes closing in on 5600 and it's a ton of fun since it takes PBO spectacularly well. You can get a b450 board to go with it for $60 and RAM isn't gonna break the bank either. AM4 is a dead end platform anyway, you shouldn't be pumping too much money into it, depends individually how much is too much. I don't think we expect DDR6 and thus AM6 in foreseeable future. DDR4 has been with us for nearly a decade now that it's getting phased out.
@@SianaGearz , what makes you think it’s only called am5/4 because uses ddr5/4? I know it’s a dead end platform, but so is am5 eventually, the difference is I know exactly what I would be getting for the price and the trade off of gaming performance in the long term is accounted for with the aforementioned 4090. It’s not bad to necessarily Save the money now and use it on a new platform later. Either ways if you are considering am4, you are not justifying am5. I can by a budget gpu, mobo, ram, decent cpu, and powder are psu for less than the motherboard and lowest level cpu for am5. Spending money on a 5500 is bad advice either way. You would be much better of with a 5600 or 5700x for the extra $.
@@robertt9342 5600 is a much much better processor but it depends on pricing trend and regional pricing. At the moment i bought the 5500 myself 5600 would have cost me 70€ extra or 50% extra. If you can get it within $25 extra it becomes a no-brainer. Similar consideration applies to of course any higher step up from that. Socket naming has been a tradition for mainstream sockets. AM2 runs on DDR2 AM2+ runs on DDR2 or DDR3 and is a backwards and forwards compatible bridge spec. AM3 runs on DDR3 AM4 runs on DDR4 AM5 runs on DDR5 Every time a new memory spec comes along, of course the socket needs to be redesigned because the processor is the memory controller. Intel has been able to slipstream these adjustments into their every-two-families new CPU socket. AMD pushes the changes back for a while. There are some exceptions. FM1, FM2 and AM1 were short-lived DDR3 compatible sockets with video feature or SoC connectivity, ones lacking FSB (HyperTransport). AM4 is similar to these, being an SoC socket but with DDR4. I think it's a fair guess that if an AM5 successor comes before DDR6, it's likely to have a different name than AM6. Within a given socket, also an incompatibility could be introduced at the chipset or BIOS level, like if that socket lives for 7 or 10 years, it may turn out impossible for the earliest boards to support last CPUs coming out for it.
I just built a system with the Ryzen 5 3600 and paired it with a. Powercolor rx 6800 Red Dragon GPU in April 2024 for a person with limited funds. It runs every game they throw at it in 1440p and they couldn't be happier.
Got my 5700x for 200 bucks and will be pairing with a 3070 for about 430 bucks for my first build. I hope it goes well, after so much research I think I've made some great purchases thus far! Appreciate the video, thank you
i totally disagree what you said pairing Ryzen 5700x with A520 motherboard and GPU....you could pair A520+5700g+GPU and B550+5700x+GPU(may be with PCIe 4.0)
Yeah but AM4 is a dead platform it’s hard to recommend it over Intel for those on a budget. Intel is killing it right now with their price to performance
@@dennisp8520 eh as long as your pc is faster than current gen consoles you'll be just fine and the 5000 series ryzen is faster than the consoles out today, the cpu in current gen consoles is between a 2700x and a 3700x performance wise.
These CPUs at 8 cores 16 threads 36mb of cache on am4 board are killer cpus. AM4 platform is stable and the pricing is good for the components. if done with gpu 2020 and above with 8gb your set for awhile.

Is it worth it for us gamers (exclusively) to assemble computers based on old Xeon processors in addition to such cheap beasts? I would really like you to answer me like many others on your channel. ;-)
There is no point in buying into AM4 with cheaper prices of AM5 know along with Intel 12th and 13th Gen CPU’s. Unless your already on AM4 then upgrading from a zen 2 or 5600 to the 5800x3d is a good idea.
won an auction and paid 124 gpb for this cpu, but it had few bended pins and lucky me again, I'm a master of fixing bended pins, no problem at all after fixing it, my build: 5700x, msi mpg b550i, 32gb 3733mhz ram and palit 3090, all in a fractal design ridge itx case.
I think Ryzen 5600 is the best value for gaming right now. Don't need 2 extra cores for gaming, and if paired with some reasonably priced GPU, not an overkill 4090 like in this video, the speed difference would be unnoticeable between the CPUs anyway.
5600 is scary good. In scalable workloads, it just about reaches the 8-core performance of the 3700x. In less scalable workloads it's just good, only to be beaten by something substantially more modern and that much pricier like 13 or 7000 series.
As the owner of a 5950X tested both in and out of Game Mode, SMT on and off, and Eco Mode on and off, I have the next best thing to personal experience that the 5700X is a great CPU. Hardware Unboxed found this CPU to be faster than the Core-i5 13400. I find that my 5950X plays all my games extremely well most of the time, with the usual exceptions: adequate Cities Skylines performance is unobtainable, The Just Cause games stutter when you drive around quickly on the ground, particularly Just Cause 3, and GemCraft is capped at 30 FPS anyway. For more average games, Surviving Mars, Need for Speed: Heat, NFS Unbound, Forza Horizon 4/5... I'm GPU-bound with a fairly stable 90 FPS or higher, and I rate performance as functionally perfect. You don't need more CPU performance than this for gaming, outside of specialized scenarios, and $200 or less is a good price for this class of CPU. If you're thinking of getting a better CPU than this, you should either be upgrading an existing AM4 system, looking to build a cheap workstation with a Core-i5 13500 or 13600K, or you should be looking at AM5.
Coming from a ryzen 5 2600 on the same B450 motherboard I bought back on 2018, I can say this is one of the best upgrades I did. It is an amazing cpu! and for 190 is a steal!
Its a crap CPU for an even crappier Chipset. It uses 50 Watts more than my b450 with 5600G in Idle. No one is talking about it, bcz they dont care. I care, I pay expensive energy prices here. Rear IO is a powerhog in Ryzen 7000, it was better in 5000 and much much better in 3000. DDR5 with expo/Xmp wastes alot of energy too. Don´t do it if you love to watch yoututbe on ur PC!
I have a 5600G on B550 and RX 6600 XT. I'm gaming at 1080p 60Hz. With undervolting my CPU and GPU my max. System Power draw is about 161 Watts. After changing to the 5700X I was shocked! With the CPU and GPU undervolted i got 202 Watts. Thats 25% more Power consumption. But only a max. of 8% more FPS. I immediately changed back to the 5600G. Now I ordered a 5700G to see whats the difference in Power consumption between 5600G, 5700G and 5700X. My PS5 at 4K, HDR needs a max. of 210 Watts by the way. Playing PS4 Games upscaled to 4k + HDR its about 110 Watts. So it is possible to be energy efficient. I dont think FPS/Watts is the right way to show a CPUs efficiency. Its like you want to know how many kph a car can go per Horsepower... But everybody wants to know how much fuel do I need to get x km. So how much Power (W) do I need to get 1 hour (h) of playing. Watts per hour is the right way to show a CPUs efficiency.
@@hessihess so true :D Im happy to see Im not the only one who cares about heat, energy and noise pollution. My newest PC consumes 120 Watts total 1440p/60 FPS. Its a mini Case that packs alot of horsepower in just 2 liters of space. When Im not using it, it IDLEs at 45 Watts. Actually I dont care anymore about newest products, I just want an esthetic efficient small machine. Btw u r so right,watts per hour is the better measure to compare machines👍
There wouldn't be much difference in gaming between 5600/5600x and 5700x, that's why he couldn't include either of them...because then he wouldn't have a video. 5700x is 5% more performance for $60-80 more and it would destroy the narrative. 5600 nonx gives 90% of the performance of 5800x3d and 95% of the performance of a 5700x. A quick trip to the User Benchmark site will show that.
I got myself 5700G few months back for about the same money. I did that because if I decide to sell GPU and swap for something better, I still will have APU to play my games without leaving me stranded. It's trade-off in cache department, but I think well worth it.
Nothing wrong with that! Because you never know when you need those integrated graphics and dont want to be left stranded. Luckily all AM5 cpus have integrated graphics for down the road when you upgrade
I have the 5700G now in use for over one year. The integrated graphics are shit for gaming and only worth for display. But are way better than the UHD 630 on my SFF Dell. The UHD 630 gives about 12 fps and the 5700G gives about 26 fps while the GT 1030 gives 40 fps to 50 fps. I was torn as well to buy the 5700G for my first build now but I went with the 5900X for more cache and cores. The 5700G is loaded to 50+ % on task manager on games meaning games already use all 8 cores passing in the realm of thread use. So 8 cores are already obsolete in reality. The 5950X would be an overall better CPU but with 460$ it is to expensive. I got my 5900X as well for overpriced at 336$. AM6 and the 8000 series Ryzen will have 200 cores as I hear. That makes any 7950X3D immediately obsolete. Even Windows uses allmost all cores of an 2012 cuad core 740QM i7 CPU I am using now. I get lags when loading 6 tabs on Edge due to the processor being 100% loaded with the WiFi data. An 8 cores will be barely enough for running Windows 11 snappy in the future. Even the 5700G starts to feel a bit sluggish by now and that is an 8 core 16 thread high end CPU. Under 12 core CPU's are a no go today best is to go for the 5950X or any other 16 core 32 thread. Even that is already obsolete, sort of, when Ryzen 8000 shows up soon. Endless money pit, if you ask me. This 5900X is my first and last built due to expensive constant spending on out of the box obsolete hardware already.
So i just purchased this (2 days ago) and put in a cheap MSI b450 (ProM2 v2), the only issue was that with the stock AMD stealth cooler teperatures were around 60 and when used in novabench or heavy workloads 80-90 degress. I installed the Noctua-NHU12S Redux and now the temp always stays around 50-60, and remains around 61-62 at max workloads. Beautiful upgrade under for under $200, jsut watch the temperatures please!
I have the same cooler paired with my 5700x! And i get the same temps as you. I originally used my previous 3600x’s wraith spire on the 5700x for a couple weeks. While it wasnt horrible, the fan noise alone was annoying, so going with the noctua cooler was a worthy upgrade
I have gone from a Ryzen 7 2700 to the 5700x. What an amazing upgrade. I do video editing (I don't use Adobe for anything) and it is absolutely amazing. It is paired with an RX6700 XT 12GB.
I recently switched to a 5700 X and its great for gaming, al of my games feel smoother so a improvement in frame time consistency and most importantly a higher frame rate on Minecraft. I tend to hit a GPU bottle neck now rather than a CPU bottle neck while gaming. Running an RTX 2070 for reference. Also I noticed an noticeable improvement in load time in one of my games.
I'm sticking with my AM4 system for another year or two as I got my 5800X 3D for a really good price brand new and it's doing everything I throw at it with ease. I wouldn't mind getting a 5700X for a budget build for anyone in my family that may want one as B450 and B550 motherboards are still in good supply at a low price.
Why you do upgrade to AM5 make sure you have a good cooler. I built a 7600x SFF built for my sisters friend. And while the 5600x can get you similar performance to an 5800. The 7600x is also hot as hell. So it would thermal throttle. With Ryzen 7000 x versions you need an NH-D15 or better for air cooling. That's one lesson I learned the hard way.
It's worth noting that testing with the RTX 4090 isn't that useful with CPUs that aren't the absolute highest end for resolutions under 4K. The 6950 XT is faster than the RTX 4090 on slower CPUs because of the massive Nvidia driver CPU overhead. AMD GPUs don't have this problem because of the hardware command processor which reduces that overhead. Just as a disclaimer, I have a 7700X paired with an RTX 4090 and am a fan of Nvidia GPUs, but they suck for CPUs that aren't in the top of the range. It gets worse the faster the Nvidia GPU is. Hardware Unboxed recently demonstrated this overhead issue so reference their video if you have any questions about what I'm saying.
They showed even 6650xt is big deal vs 4090 for say modern 4core cpu paired. I think all cpus on combo with 4090 have some reduction in fps (driver overhead). Say 4090 is 3x faster than 6650xt, but difference in fps at 1080p is just 50perc. That talks about half of performance of gpu is left on table not having next gen nonexistent cpu. 1. Then 50perc performance uplift with 4090 vs 6650xt makes no sense for 6xprice 2.Gaming 1080p with 4090 is another BS 3. At 4K it would make half sense still pairing latest deal 200usd cpu with 1600USD gpu. Balanced cpu gpu would show what you can expect from sense making real life setup. Such benchmarks like this one tell absolutely nothing real.
I used this chip in my daughter’s first gaming rig. Only used Intel up to that point and so had no idea what to expect. What a beast it has turned out to be. It’s proven to be so good that it convinced me to go AMD for my own rig I recently built.
I went for the 5700x as a drop in upgrade for my 2700x on an X470. Have it paired up with a 3060ti I got on Black Friday to replace my GTX 1070. With curve optimizer I dropped all cores to a -15 offset and a 200mhz auto OC. Basically it’s a 5800x for a bit of a discount. Runs at 4.2 all core, 4.85 single core. On a side note I could also finally run my ram at 3600mhz. The 2700x could never get past 3400mhz.
@@christiaandekock1136 I have a Scythe Myugen RevB cooler on it. Max around 72-75C but usually hang in the mid 60s if gaming. 80C is absolutely fine by the way. As long as you not up in the 90’s.
You can use ryzen master to find out the Curve optimization per core. It should take around an hour, and you don’t have to do anything. The software figures out the values for you. Also playing around with PPT, TDC, and EDC if you want the lower temp (decrease these values) or the higher all-core boost (increase these values).
@@nhozdien5058 yeah I used ryzen master when i got the cpu. Not entirely sure if i applied what it did but performace definitely increased afterwards. Scored around 15000+ on r23. I have a hyper 212 on atm - just dropped it on after upgrading. Want to maybe go AIO for peace of mind haha
All I learned from this video that an old, I3 !!! 12100 does the job if you game only. Thanks! Costs half compared to 5700x but the performance is way better than half of it. I rather spend that money on a better card.
totally agree with you on the power draw aspect ! retired my Haswell Xeon this summer. Orginially wanted to get an AM5 at launch but the prices turned be down despite having the money. Instead bought a used 5800x for 170€. Added a 550m steel series new and 2x32GB (needed for work) 3200HZ. Costed me just 500€. Personally i run this CPU at a fixed 1.08V and 4.0GHz, whichs safes 30-50% Watts in office workload and gaming, while only sacrificing 20% single-core boost and 10% multicore. On top so much less heat and noise
How about dont fix ur cpu at 4.0 ghz and just use curve optimizer, 5-10% loss in multicore perf, similar or even better single core speed (faster gaming) and much lower temps.
@@grlmgor i get to 4.4 @ 1.15v gaming stable and cinebench stable. temps are cool. but it will crash in prime small fft. also i noticed if using PBO, it clocks down to 4.2 GHz at 1.2V in prime small fft, while it runs cinebench at 4.5. and its not becuase of the temps. As my 1080TI starts to struggle in 1440p anyways and i run my 144HZ display at 120Hz and cap FPS there, i decided to just go with 4GHz on the CPU with minimal power draw is your 4.6GHz prime stable small fft?
@@evilleader1991 i dont like the CPU boosting for really small workloads like microsoft teams doing whatever it does and requests CPU resources. With tiny workloads, like playing a 2D indie game + waching netflix, the CPU uses like 20Watts more with PBO even with curve optimizer. And due to home office my PC runs aroudn 16h / day, so 20W more or less does add up
@@nevernicemeadow It crash in prime small fft as soon as it started. I turn PBO off as I locked it in at 4.6 because my worst cores start to struggle above that. Out of the box my 5800x was boosting to 5.85Ghz as I have a 280mm AIO.
Great recommendation and I can vouch for the results. Updated from a R5-3600 to the 5700X almost a year ago. Did the undervolt/curve optimizer/PBO2 thing right away and it's been rock solid, quiet, clocks at about 4.85 Ghz while heavy gaming and is currently sipping 30W of power while YouTubing with a mild BOINC distributed computing project running in the background. Paired it with the Arctic Freezer A35 cooler which was on sale at time of purchase - almost like it was ordained or something. Having no problems OCing the RAM to 3800/CL16 either so the memory controller is superb as well. I was intending for it to be a bit of a placeholder until 5800X3D came down in price (it was more than the 5900X!) but I bumped my res up to UW1440p and plan on moving up to UW1600p at some point so it makes little sense to do so now. Pretty happy with it.
Great video! I am in the process of choosing a new cpu to replace my I5 7600k. I have a Z270-p board. Looked into coffe lake mod, Aliexpress "mutant mobile cpu`s", Aliexpress embedded cpu-mobo combo, used Xeon`s, and now this Ryzen 7 5700x. I am using a 1070 ti, with no real need to upgrade it as i am cpu bottlenecked in most games on 1440p. My system does almost everything i want. The 7600k is clocked at 4,9ghz, delidded on liquid metal. However 4 cores is sadly not enough anymore. Will be keeping an eye out on ebay for used/refurb b550 boards and ryzen 7 5700x from now on. This seems like the best value for now. Any thoughts or tips? :) Been looking at aliexpress and russian videos for too long now so i might have missed something haha!
This is a fantastic CPU, like many have said before it's what the 5800X should have been. If I didin't end up getting the 5900X last year and then the 5800X3D I would have no doubt grabbed myself one of these!!😎
Just came to mind, it's great to see budget options for gaming but what CPU would you personally choose as the price/performance winner for productivity at this moment?
Hey long time viewer first time commenter here. Love the content. Excellent points about the value the AM4 platform still has in it. However I would caution that if it's for a system you'd like to last 5 years buy a spare MOBO and/or have a good warranty and back-up plan in case of MOBO failure. Tech RU-vidrs focus on forward compatibility but what if your MOBO dies just out of warranty and because it's an older platform you have to pay a premium to get a working MOBO back? I would love to see someone say "at least if your mobo dies in 3 years there'll still be availability of compatible MOBOs readily available. I had a customer spend close to $800 AUD for me to fix their PC under these circumstances and it took me a week to find an ebay MOBO that would replace the failed one (after a TON of testing to rule out all the other components I could with parts on hand). I hate having to pay scalper price for 3 - 5 year old motherboard. Said customer spent $3k AUD on system to begin with and was perfectly happy with it until the MOBO died so it was worth it to them to spend $800 on me for parts and labour to just get it back to how it was! DDR4 RAM will go up in price as it becomes more uncommon in the next few years as will legacy MOBOs for even AM4 that AMD did a stellar job of supporting as long as it did...
Howdy. I have this phenomenal CPU with a GAMMA400V2 air cooler which cost $20, it keeps the CPU at 77c on full stress test 100% across 8 cores. Curve-optimized these run at the full max boost 4650MHz on all 8 cores under load. Just beautiful. Upgraded from Ryzen 1700 meaning I will be on this PC/platform for probably 8-10 years.
The low power consumption and temps made it great for my itx pc build. I have a 3080 ftw3 ultra and a 5700x In a dan a4 h20 and a 240mm aio. Neither of the components go above 65 degrees
Few weeks ago i bought a used 3600 which threw errors in prime95 i could return the trash and did buy 5600X instead bc 5700X was a bit more expensive to me so my wife could have new nails instead 😅
I went with an under-volted Ryzen 5700x for my "TradeBot" PC, automated trading of the futures market. Runs cool all week, non-stop from Sunday evening to Friday afternoon.
i just bought a Ryzen 7 5700X just to upgrade my dedicated livestreaming PC's CPU which currently has a Ryzen 5 3600 (non X) and it's paired with a RTX 2060KO for Nvenc! i like i might have better performance and More efficient than even my Ryzen 5 3600 non X which it's bonkers
Just bought a 5700x for $115 locally and sold off a 5600 for $100. It’s in my 2nd Media PC in the master bedroom. Paired with a 6700xt, x570s, 32gb 3200mhz c16 dual rank, 980pro 1tb boot , sn770 2tb game storage. Great well rounded bedroom pc.
