Yes, even if you selected Threadripper mobo driver for you mobo it will still work, the only difference is the website url

what what?
Tell that someone get the facts right?
Ryzen APU will utilize System RAM regardless of the series, because APU dont have build in GDDR ram like dedicated GPU.

Go for B550 or X570, for a bit of future proofing, B450 will become legacy after Zen 3 released, as newer cpu will not work in old mobo, except with beta bios support.

i3?
if quad core 10th gen 3.5ghz may be can consider.
else go for Ryzen 3400g, the cpu without g suffix is normal cpu only

6gm still plenty of ram, if not slap one 16gb stick on it

Intel aren't problem-free either, because the hardware is designed by human and human aren't perfect lol

Have you heard about the Spectre and meltdown security vulnerability?

I dont care about yours too, it's your money lol

Don't waste time replying lol
also for intel, Jim Keller, who designed Apple Soc, AMD Zen, employed by Intel few years ago and already left Intel just few weeks ago, whether intel can be competitive again,
have to wait until 2022, but that time AMD will be on 5nm or smaller with Ryzen 5/6000, entry level cpu will be hexacore with SMT lol

Hmmm 14mn goodness!
the one who can successfully fully recovery the wasted heat when you running PS, video transcoding or kernel compelling with intlel i9 109999k should get a nobel prize.

save the polar bear!

CPU raw power does not represent it's usefulness , just look at the Vulkan and the game engine id tech 7, both are such a godsend,
With proper implementation and extensive optimization, i still can play the game that released on 2020 on my old machine, R3 1300x and Vega, 4K60FPS is definitely attainable,

Which the graphic preset cranked to ultranightmare, the performance only flinch a little, dropping into 55~70 which is still very impressive, further running the game at 2880p the fps dropped to 30FPS, which is still playable.

Other game simply will not run at 2880p without looking like slideshow.

Yeah, Intel has been proven to be king of FPS, for 1080p only, extra 5 fps, with two to three figure of TDP increase, and the list goes on lol
1080p is so old skool, if one crank up the resolution CPU will become less relevant, it will responsible for FPS smoothness instead.

today standard should be 4K by norm, Doom Eternal is one of the best example, AMD should be praised for the invention of Mantle and the Latter Vulkan, and poor man multicore,

i think min should be 6 to 8, more than that probably is more for streaming, raise the game priority to highest, and you might eliminate fps spike as well.
Microsoft os team is sleeping... the OS does not remember the program priority and needs a third party app. luckily i never paid any single cent for Win 10

I can play doom eternal 1440p with only 2 cores affinity but it had microstuttering. that's pretty annoying.
Currently i can only plays Doom series reboot in 2880p, the rest of the game will CTD or whole computer hangs lol

lol you never read my full post...

i mean it's impressive even the game can runs in 2 cores, with microstuttering due to starved of cpu resource, 1440p @ ultranightmare.

depends on what game you going to stream, some game used too much GPU resource, live streaming with GPU will tank the FPS.
extra cores and the threads will alleviate the performance problem if you use CPU based encoder, aka x264.

if you choose r5 3600, you need to sacrifice the game graphic quality for better streaming performance.

Nvidia gpu might be better with gpu accelerated encoding because of the video quality, while AMD im not sure, their older gen VCE produce crap quality video... lol
try to go twitch and check out those streamer pc spec.

Should be fine with R5 3600, you're freeing up the CPU resource with NVENC.

Tiny bump to the clock speed literally does nothing, unless the CPU has insanely high IPC.
they probably maxed out the chip potential.

I had a Phenom II 1055T back in the day, that particular chip was like won a lottery i had no problem oc the chip to 3.7GHz(base clock is 2.8), with tiny bump to voltage.
The difference between non oc and overclocked is day an night, matching the 1090T performance lol

I ran the setup for many years until the arrival of Ryzen.

it could be ram stability causing the intermittent hang,
i had the same problem too, due to mixed ram with oc enabled, some windows internal components keep crashing but no error messages lol
it became worst after ctfmon keep crashing every second, had to fresh install and downclocking the ram.

do check the event viewer for any error, windows does not display error message but are logged in event viewer.

Finally bought this after being stuck with R3 1300x for three years, lol,
hopefully can finally make use of the Vega64 and 48GB ram

Welp, 2 VM will be running concurrently to make use of the 16 threads

my budget is actually allowed to buy R5 3500 only, lol
but the price does is a bit high, while the other store have plenty of XT variant but i aint sure if my old mobo support those, the 3700x is the last one im just damn since im running a lot of VM so why not

MSI has the latest bios, im still on previous beta have not updated yet, after changed my CPU my system cant resume from standby.
my sequential write seems degraded, gotta go dig BIOS again lol...

Seems like latest bios is for XT variant, i got the normal version so havent update yet.

I have yet to try Bf1 and bf5
but Doom 2016 see the most improvement, from unstable fps to 144~200fps on 1440p.
Have yet to try doom eternal, but it's already highly optimized before i swap to 3700x, Doom eternal optimization is god send,
if most game use ID tech engine with vulkan, people would no need to buy high end cpu and gpu anymore, unless they going to 4K.
