Wow really like the 3300X vs 3500X!

I'll save RM300-500 by waiting till January and slap a 5600X onto a MSI B450i ITX.

Looking at the Zen 4 / Ryzen 5000 launch schedule in the road map, I don't think there's a Zen 3+. I think the Zen 3 will be the fastest CPU you can get on AM4, unless they make Zen 4 compatible with DDR4!

Now where can I find single rank 16GB sticks? I heard only Micron have them (E-die Ballstix RAM)?

Anyone with the mentioned B450 motherboard dare to try the leaked Beta driver for early support of Ryzen 5000?

Noted with the dual rank 16GB sticks. Planning to get the Corsair LPX 16GBx2 3600 CL18 for ITX build.

Thanks for your detailed product numbers. These Ballistix 3200 C16 pairs are better than the Corsair LPX 3600 C18 right (CMK32GX4M2Z3600C18)? Edit: I'm looking for the 16GBx2 pair

Thanks for the info. I'll try to find the Ballistix ram then, looks like very rare over here.

Thanks again for the info, looks like I'll have to buy oversea again.
The seller who are carrying Corsair RAM should label micron Rev E out in their listing and sell at a premium.

Need to have defect to return it right? Can't just say I'm looking from Micron lol

I ended up getting a pair of Ballistix from member weeuweed. I managed to run it at 3200 CL14 no problem with timing from DRAM Calc with my 2700X. I don't see any difference from my FlareX CL14 kit. I don't plan to OC it yet until I upgrade my CPU next year. Thanks again nrw for the recommendation.

I'm also curious too, I guess not easy to get the CPU without buying the whole bundle for our guys here.

I'm also hopeful my X470 will support the 5000 series. Otherwise I will also get the B450 instead of B550 to go along with 5600X, simply because I don't need PCIE 4.0 and don't plan to buy Radeon GPU.

I'm planning to get either the Asrock or the Gigabyte ITX B450 board. I don't like Realtek AC889 on the MSI's or on the budget B550 ITX boards.

The 5600X is like over 30% faster in multicore performance in CB20 compared to 1700X, so I think it's a complete performance upgrade even with lesser core.

I’m still looking out for non force bundle 5600x

Thanks for info, I almost want to call them to buy only CPU.

I small try asking few shops can sell me Asrock B450 with 5600X or not, they all declined.

I don't change CPU so much like you guys do, i5-3570k was my first build after started working for comeback to PC gaming. It was great for good 4 years until BF1 stutter. I decided to quadruple the thread count by getting Ryzen 2700X from oversea. It did solve stutter issue but honestly choosing the i7-8700k could've aged better in gaming especially when OC'd to 5GHz.

I'm waiting to get 5600X because I need that single threaded performance now in MS Flight Simulator.

Yeah, buying 5600X feels like buying i7-8700K 3 year late. LOL
