Question Motherboard and CPU Replacement Need Help please

[Firebrandshadow]

Hi I hope you are all doing well , I was planning to Build AM5 PC but it turned out very expensive and I'm not ready for it's price . so I thought of replacing my current CPU and motherboard to get a little boost till I get ready for a full upgrade .

My current PC components are :

Motherboard : Asus Prime B450m-K
Processor : Ryzen 5 3600
GPU : RTX 2060 Ti SUPER MINI
Ram : G.Skill RipJaws 5 Series Noir 16Go (2x 8Go) DDR4 3600 MHz CL18
PSU : Corsair RM750x 80PLUS Gold 750W
Storage : Samsung SSD 980 M.2 PCIe NVMe 1TB and 1 sata 1TB

So I wanted to replace the Current motherboard and CPU by MSI B550M PRO-VDH and AMD Ryzen 7 5700X3D (3.0 GHz / 4.1 GHz) Tray
and get DeepCool AK620 because I have only stock cooler at the moment .
This replacement will cost me 450 USD in total .

I don't know where else to ask ,I need your help to make the right decision , Thank you for your time .

What is your use case? Is it gaming or productivity or a bit of both?

I don't see that much need to replace the motherboard for a 5700X3D drop in.

Get yourself a bulky downdraft cooler to keep the VRMs cool.

Does my current motherboard support Ryzen 7 5700x3D ?

 

[Eximo]

Yes, with a BIOS update to 3802 or higher. Latest version is 4604.

The VRM's on the Prime mobo aren't very robust at all. IIRC, I think it's 4+2 phases. I wonder will they run hot with the 5700x?

 

[MEMOFLEX]

Out of interest how much more would it cost to get something like a ryzen 7600, ASRock B650M-HDV/M.2 and 32gb 6000 RAM?

In the UK I can get this for £415 which would probably be the option I would go for. The cpu cooler comes with the cpu and the future options are significantly better should you want to upgrade down the road.

Worth a look

for a Decent AM5 Build here in Morocco it would cost 1600 USD [ Mobo alone would Cost 400 USD - CPU 400 - Ram DDR5 150 etc... ] and I'm not ready to switch to that kind of build . that's why i'm trying to make little upgrades till I get ready

Why I recommended a downdraft cooler. I would probably just add some heatsinks to the VRMs while I was at it. 5700X3D runs pretty light in games. I think I recall seeing something like 54W.

My apologies. I saw USD and assumed USA.

I would likely go with the 5700x3d and a good downdraft cooler as Eximo mentioned. Keep an eye on temps as you go initially and if the current MB is holding up you have saved some money.

If the MB is throttling then you can invest in a B550 down the line

I don't think there is any downdraft available
