Hello all,
I'm looking to upgrade my ryzen 2700x to a either a 5700x or 5700x3d. I upgraded my gpu to an rtx 3060 last year after my 1060 died, so hoping to eliminate any cpu limited possibilities and general performance boost
On amazon the 5700x is £147 and the 5700x3d is £218. I've heard people speak highly of the x3d chips, though with a 3060 at 1080p 144hz, would the extra £68 be worth it for the x3d? I may upgrade to a better gpu down the line but currently unsure.
My other concern is temps and power usage. Although I have an nh-d15s (ik I shouldn't be worrying,) I'd like a cpu that can run a bit cooler since I use my pc a lot for browsing and low demand tasks when not gaming (often loads of browser tabs across 4 monitors.) I also leave my pc running a lot so lower power usage would be nice.
My MB is an asus strix B450-f. I've heard about some older ryzen cpus loosing support in newer bios versions. Would my 2700x still work if I update the bios and then continue to use it for a bit before upgrading?
Also had an issue on version 3003 with 4 sticks of crucial ballistix rgb 3200mhz ram. Would either one of these cpus be ok with 4 sticks at 3200? My 2700x is stable at 3000 with docp but never managed 3200 (no biggie if not because I bought 2 extra sticks for £30 a while ago.)
Thanks for any help!
