I'm also spoilt by that the amount of USB port on that board. Why did I even sell it

lol that's so hot as if the motherboard is running Performance Enhancement Level 4...

Don't really know what you guys are talking about until I watch this video here

Update us how it turns out. I’m toying with the idea of 5600X + B450 too, but can’t get the CPU to try.

They're ****ing greedy for listing that kind of pricing.

Toyed with the idea getting a i7-10700k instead of waiting for 5600X but all of the Z490 ITX motherboard has clearance issue with my top down air cooler due to the massive block at the IO panel. Nay, not going to change my air cooler, so I'll continue waiting...

Or maybe Asrock Z390 ITX + 9900k

Arguably if someone is using choosing a CPU for multi-core rendering, Ryzen will be considerably cooler. The 5800X neck to neck with i9-10900k at stock but uses ~70W less energy.

As for my use case, for just gaming, I think the 5600X is neck to neck with a overclocked i5-10600k to 5GHz and there's probably only a ~20W disadvantage with Intel.

Is it easy and reliable to get from there? I saw someone selling Taobao 5600X, make me also wanted to attempt obtaining one from there.

Yeah, can't believe Intel even limit their B460 chipset to DDR4-2666.

I think the IPC for 5600X is already really good, won't be a bottleneck for any GPU unless you are aiming for >250fps with 3090...
Anyway I also recommend just overclocking and tightening timing, rather than spending rm1k+ on 3600 CL14.
I managed to run my Ballistix at 3200 14-17-14-32-50 from XMP 3200 16-18-18-36-72.

My friend also have a Nexus M, can use more fan on exhaust to improve the airflow inside? He's on Ryzen 1600 + 1060.

Could it be your chip already use low voltage at stock, and perform the same as others who are doing -25?

Oh yeah, looking forward for a hassle free ITX build with new i5 or i7 non-K with those new B-series motherboard which hopefully doesn't have huge heatsink near the IO shield so my cooler can fit. Nay, not going to switch cooler.

Since this is AMD thread... 5600X stock is still a joke.

I guess it's a good thing that I'm still using slower X470 motherboard.

I enjoyed reading these post pushing their system to the edge, otherwise it'll be quite boring. So keep them coming in please.

There's nothing much to talk about on a stable system, just use it for work and play that's it. A 3600 + B450 + 3200 CL16 will be very stable but it's so boring haha.

Waiting for the day mobo maker design their cooling by taking advantage of the flowing air from top down cooler such as Noctua NH-C14S, Thermalright AXP90, because there is a niche market like you who uses sandwich case, but doesn't use AIO.

Most of the B550 and Z490 ITX board has their own active cooling... really hate that huge block at the IO.

Then the last gen X470/B450 board are quite amazing, can support Zen 1 1600 to Zen 3 5950X, Resizable-bar for Ryzen 3000 and 5000.

In theory...

Then there's the limit of using more than one PCIE SSD. Look into the restriction of the specific board and decide if you need more PCIE storage in the very near future.

watch yours while seeing my 2700X idle at 1.4v LOL I gave up long ago trying to get Intel level sort of low power idle with this chip.

That's me. A simple scrolling of forum thread will spike the CPU temp to 55C, and the temp fluctuate 45-57C without doing anything. That's also because I let the 120mm fan spin at 800rpm below 60C. As long as I can use it and don't need to clean the filter that often, I don't care about idle temp anymore.
