Which motherboard ? With all b450/550 and x470/570 all you need is updated BIOS but some b450/550 may not have enough power. With 5800x you also need good cooling. R7 5700x may be better choice because it runs cooler, demands less power and easier to cool while having almost same performance.
That one is barely enough for 3600 let alone for 8 core CPU. The reason AMD doesn't supply coolers for higher end processors is that they don't have any adequate ones.
Core count isn't really relevant when you're talking about single CCD thermals it's power consumption. It's the same cooler that comes with the 5600/X which uses the same amount of power as the 5700X. It's not a good solution, or one I would use period, but it would work. Given that the op didn't mention cooling at all it's something that needs to be addressed.
The 5600x has nothing to do with the 5700x.
I'll say it again since you clearly didn't get it the first time: core count doesn't matter when talking about single CCD thermals only power consumption does (CCD count is really the only thing that matters outside of power consumption really).
I understand what you said and there's no need to say it again,
The 3600XT is a 95W part with a different power profile than the 3600 (which is 65W) so of course they're not the same. The 5700X is a 65W part that shares the exact same power profile as the 5600/5600X your comparison doesn't make sense.
With what you're saying, the 5600x and the 5700x are the same, whether you're saying that or not.
When looking at them from only a thermal perspective they are and that's one of the reasons why the 5700X is such a great part.
The AMD was always ''playing'' with the currents
Yeah that's because you're removing the power limit and have 2 more cores when you do it (the power increase is proportional to the core increase when comparing the 5700X to 5600/X). The only thing stopping the 5700X from using more power is its default 65W profile.
