Oh it seems I can buy 3rd gen ryzen without getting new motherboard. Then again, is there any significant gains switching from 2nd gen processor to 3rd gen?

I am currently using an Asus ROG B450F with R5 2600X. Should I upgrade to 3700X do I need to switch to AIO for cooling or stick with air cooling. I'm using Scythe mugen 5 Rev B btw.

Should I upgrade my 2600X to 2700X or it just a waste of money?

Update your BIOS.

Then go straight for 5600 or 5600X or 5700X. 5600 and 5700X coming soon. No point getting another CPU with more cores but still slow.

Oh thanks a lot! I think I will consider 5600X since the lower TDP will surely make it run less hotter as I run my CPU on air. Of course if the pricing of 5700X doesn't much of a difference I may consider getting that instead.

I just wondering, since in order to use the latest Ryzen cpu, I need to update my bios for my asus b450 to the latest one. So if I update the bios does this mean that my current cpu is become unusable?

No, I think your Strix B450F will still support your 2600X. Not so sure about Zen 1 CPU.
I myself updated my Strix X470I and it still works with my 2700X.

That's good to hear. So I will still can use my 2600X after updating the BIOS that enable my Strix B450F to use 5600/5700 cpu. Thanks. thumbsup.gif

I'm thinking to get something like 5800X3D but will it be safe to use Scythe Mugen 5 Rev. B to cool this CPU? I mean it must be one hot CPU and air cooler may not be enough for this.

A redittor have this comment: I found that it performs within margin of error of most cheaper AIOs. When compared with the Deepcool Captain 240EX, this cooler had lower idle temperatures by about 4°C and under load was only 2°C hotter.

Some said its comparable to Dark Rock Pro4

So it should work fine i guess, or else can still undervolt it

I see, so it seems I need to do a push-pull configuration to increase my cooler's performance. Apart from that, getting something like 5700X might be a viable option since it has lower TDP.

Push pull with stronger fans (1500 - 1800rpm) by then you might as well sell off that Mugen and get PA120/PS120 which will slay that 5800x3d

Now that is something to consider too. Did a bit of checking and a PA120 black should fit in a CM scout 2 (cooler height 157mm vs clearance 162mm).
