I've posted this in other places but to no avail. Hoping someone here could point me in the right direction. Thanks. So I just built my new computer and my 3080 has shut off 3 times now in two days. Two times while playing a game and another while I was on my desktop. I don’t believe it’s due to...

So I just upgraded my system from an Intel 3570k to the new AMD 5800x. So far it is running nice. It was a nice upgrade. Went to a water cooled system and upgraded my ram to 32GB. I also bought a 1TB M.2 drive. Anyhow I'll stop rambling. I was needing some advice to complete the upgrade. 1...

So it's better to save the money and stick with the 3800x? Yea I was also thinking about waiting until the Zen3's came out but I have been putting off building a new PC for a couple of years now always saying I'm gonna wait until the new processors to come out. My processor is starting to show...

Yea I'm not gonna lie the heat on it is really throwing me off.

Just wondering what you're guys thoughts were on this. I was kinda set on getting the 10700k but reading the reviews and seeing how hot it runs and seeing how much electric is sucks down it is starting to make me second guess. It will be for gaming mostly. Right now my local Microcenter has a...

Just wondering if anyone knows when they will be available? I have looked online and have only seen the 10900's available. I've checked my local microcenter, frys, and best buy.

How is the overclocking on it? From what I've read it seems there isn't much to OC on the 3700x but the 9700k theres some head room. The other thing that does make me lean towards getting the 3700x is the PCIe4.0. I know theres not much use for it right now but I kinda wanna future proof since I...

So now that my processor is 7 years old I was wondering if it would be worth upgrading to either the 3700x or the 9700k? I play a lot of strategy and simulation games. I have a GTX 1080. It seems to be the processor that is holding me back.

I can get the 3700X for $300 and an extra $30 off if I bundle it with a mother board. So you’re saying I should save the $30 and stick with the 3700X? What about the intel 9700k? Is the 3700X better then the 9700k?

I play a lot of strategy and simulation Games. It seems to be pushing the limit of my cpu the last year or two. the 3800X is $330 right now. With an extra $30 off if I bundle it with a motherboard. I was leaning towards the 3800X for an extra $30. thanks for the reply and the help.

Ok so this will be the second time around building a pc. The one I have now is 7 years old and I really feel like I need to upgrade the processor. Currently I have an intel i5-3570k 16GB DDR3 Ram GTX 1080 500GB Samsung 850 EVO I was wanting to upgrade since black Friday is here and the...
