The millionth I'm upgrading thread (Trunks0 2nd edition - Because I'm cracking lol)
- Thread starter Trunks0
- Start date
I kinda already did, which is why I'm rocking an AE-5. Which I choose as a balance between sound performance and feature set(Nice to jump into old games and still have proper EAX and 3D audio)
Yeah, kinda feeling that. The 5900X is just harder to source new... bah the 5800x will suffice for now. Helps it's also way cheaper, which plays into my whole price/performance thing I always do better.
SoooOOoooo
- 5800X
- Asus TUF Gaming X570-Plus (I'm really not seeing anything top this in it's class)
- Noctua NH-D15S chromax.Black (They are crazy close in performance and you can add a second fan to close the gap if need. The S also includes the clips to add the second fan)
- 32Gb of G.Skill Trident Z NEO
Now the only thing hold me back is the wizard, because now I can't stop wondering about what AMD is going to pull outta it's magic 3D stacked hat of wtfery

You will need a very powerfull gpu to actually see the difference between them.

I was reffering to get an AE-9 if you have money to burn :P

Yeah, there was almost no reason to get a 5900X over a 5800X. I stream heavily at fairly high quality settings and don't get anywhere near maxing the 5800X out.
For what it's worth, you can do EAX even with onboard Realtek chips now. Haven't seen a comparison between it, and hardware, but I would imagine it should be identical now.

Ordered. Should get everything by Tomorrow
Only thing I changed was popping up to the PRO over the Plus version of the mobo. Faster Ethernet, built in Bluetooth & Wifi 6 might come in handy at some point.
wifi is kind of a toss up, but bluetooth is def a good point, i have the b550 tuff gaming and keep the bluetooth on for controller etc..
if the b550 can do flck 1900, hopefully yours can too.

Congrats man I wanted a 5800X when they came out but couldn't get one so went 3800X (from a vanilla 2700). I've got the X470 Pro and no complaints from me great mobo. Could see a justifiable reason to upgrade the mobo so didn't.
Regarding sound since I ditched my 5.1 surround system for a Creative SXFI gamer headset I couldn't be happier. Battle mode is awesome for games and the headset is great for movies etc.
As for heat sink I think the Be Quiet! Dark Rock Pro 4 I bought is awesome. Here's a review of them both together. https://www.gamingcutter.com/cpus/noctua-nh-d15-vs-dark-rock-pro-4/
Basically they're both great so you can't loose really.

Let him buy a cooling "candy".Obviously the D15s is overkill for 5800x but is a person's pleasure to buy top of the line expensive premium things... :P

I probably shoupd have considered it. In Canada the prices are fairly close. I could save saved about a pizza's worth of cash 
(The BeQuiet! is about 20 Bux cheaper vs the D15S Choma.black I bought)
I have all the parts now. But work has been nuts, probably won't have the energy till Saturday to build.

FYI, use all the cooler you can on the 5800X. It will maintain its boost clocks indefinitely if you let it. The downside is that it will hit 90C+ easy if you let it, and I didn't want thermal inertia ever being a factor in downclocking.
I've resorted to running my CPU fan at 100% all the time.

And this is why I recommended water cooling.

I would still run at least the pump 100% all the time to maximise the benefits of using water. You still need a fairly beastly (280mm+ rads) water cooling setup to beat even a moderate air setup in noise or performance. Also, thermal inertia is worse with water.

Do you have some links to testing that show this?
