[SOLVED] Is Ryzen 5 5600 and RX 6600 a good pair? (on a PCIe 3.0 MB)

[Badr Mahmoud Badr]

I'm upgrading some of my PC components I will be adding the Ryzen 5 5600 on my old B350 MORTAR motherboard and will be pairing it with RX 6600.
So two question:
1- Is there any bottleneck happening?
2- Any real disadvantage from using a PCIe 4.0 cpu and gpu on a PCIe 3.0 motherboard?
Thanks.

Should be fine. I have a 6700xt on an asrock b350 board and from what I’ve seen there isn’t much bc performance difference between pcie 3 vs 4. If there is, just a little but you shouldn’t need to worry. The 5600 is a great chip and should do well with that card. What power supply do you have? You want to make sure you’ve got a decent one.

Thanks for the replay, I have an old 600 Seasonic PSU. I think it should be fine isn't it? because I don't have any issues with it right now

Hi, yes it should be fine. PCIe 3.0 vs 4.0 makes a negligible difference. Only significant benchmark differences I've seen were in games like Forza, but other than that it shouldn't really matter. The 5600 and 6600 pair well. I am currently using the 6600 XT with a Ryzen 5600X. 600W PSU is definitely okay, as long as your PSU isn't faulty, you're good to go.

Thanks a lot
