    If you need a new cooler to match, best value options are:

    Thermalright Phantom Spirit 120 SE $52.90
    Thermalright Peerless Assassin 120 SE $52.29

    • Ezio on 23/09/2023 - 08:14

      Peerless Assassin 120 (Non-SE) is $59.90 from the same seller, it's a bit better according to a reviewer (few degrees cooler under load).

    OP do you know if the Ryzen 7 5700X is a worth upgrade to the Intel i5 6600k or should I spend more?
    I'm still enjoying my motherboard's compatibility with Windows 7 but I'll have to upgrade.

      If you're gonna have to upgrade go AM5. (Ryzen 7000 series).

      This is only good for people already on AM4 needing a last breath of life into their AM4 system.

      • booboo on 22/09/2023 - 13:19

        I was thinking of upgrading my Intel i5-8600, and for about $400 I could get this CPU and a cheap AM4 motherboard, and reuse my ddr4 memory. Buying an equivalent new AM5 or Intel would cost a heap more. Unless I'm missing something?

          • Future proofing - AM5 is expected to get 3 generations.
          • Improved performance. 7600 has advantages thanks to IPC and increased clock
          • More up to date platform

          Ryzen 5 7600 comes with a stock cooler and you could sell the Starfield code to get some money back. However, you do need to factor in the cost of DDR5 RAM modules. I suggest you get a kit that has Hynix A die or M die. With Ryzen 7 5700X, you are counting on multi core increase (because the single core boost vs i5-8600 is about 20% vs 50% for Ryzen 5 7600). However, on AM5:

          • As mentioned, get good DDR5 RAM, otherwise you can run into some issues. Avoid 4 DIMMs setup for now.
          • AM5 DDR5 setup has to go through at least 1 full memory training. On higher RAM speed RAM, this could take 2+ minutes.
          • AMD's AGESA (BIOS microcode) for AM5 is still work in progress.
          • Don't factor in future proofing because even if you upgrade the CPU later on, you still need to buy that new CPU. Furthermore, based on AM4 chipsets, we know each iteration does have improvements (memory compatibility, PCIe gen improvement).

          It is really annoying AMD elected not to include a cooler for 5700X. If you do decide to go AM5, don't go cheap on memory. If you do run into memory compatibility issue with AM5, it will be a real pain. That's one annoying part with AMD platform.

            @netsurfer: How do you sell the Starfield code, doesn't it link to your steam account automatically?

              @Ezio: Steps:

              • Create a "burner" AMD Rewards account.
              • Login to that account.
              • Enter the AMD rewards redemption code provided by the retailer.
              • Run the hardware check to ensure you get Starfield for Steam gets added as a reward.
              • DO NOT activate / link it to your Steam account.

              Then, you basically sell that burner AMD Rewards account (the buyer doesn't need to have the required hardware since you already pre-activated). The buyer needs to login to AMD Rewards, click on My Rewards, then click on the button Redeem on Steam. Inform buyer to unlink Steam from that burner account (because technically, you know the password).

            @netsurfer: I'm looking at this option now. How do I know if RAM is hynix or samsung? Corsair Vengeance is the cheapest 2x32GB on pc part picker and has decent 5600 speed.

            What RAM would you recommend? Productivity, not gaming. Looking to spend $800 to upgrade CPU, mobo and RAM. Could keep my DDR4 and get an i5-13600k but looking at Ryzen so I can upgrade CPU in a few years.

    • ihfree on 22/09/2023 - 12:17

      As above, a new system should use AM5.

      Are you still using Windows 7? Have you considered an upgrade to Windows 10/11?

      • billadm on 22/09/2023 - 13:00

        upgrade to Windows 10/11

        The system is only 7 years old and running fine but soon or later I'll upgrade.

      I'd assume ~50% faster single threaded, ~300% faster multithreaded performance.

      Win 7 is EOL and can't be trusted to be secure.

      I definitely wouldn't want to access online banking or store anything I care about on Win 7.

        These guys issue micro patches for W7 etc
        https://0patch.com/

        On the other hand you should not store/access ANYTHING you really care about on Windoze. Just look at their anti-privacy policies and the way the seem to avoid fixing serious sw issues for months. Think of the Exchange Server issues ect

          Never heard of 0patch. Seems cool, but 3rd party patches still not enough imo. Cool solution if you are forced to use Win7 or older OS for hardware compatibility reasons.

  • Shachiku on 22/09/2023 - 13:18

    Bought it around july for $250 (with SS/CR)

  • solacens on 22/09/2023 - 17:40

    $10 more for 5800X

    Please notice that's a much hotter boi.

    • AreYouAWiiizard on 22/09/2023 - 23:03

      Looks like it expired as it's back at 293 also that was international vs local stock.

  • HandsomeMonkey on 22/09/2023 - 21:33

    Any cheap AM4 motherboard to go with it?

    • butter on 23/09/2023 - 04:42

      This is the point where motherboards for am4 won't get cheaper. If anything expect am4 motherboards to become more expensive as demand falls and stock is sold out.

      If you have to buy a motherboard, it probably doesn't make sense to go with am4 and you might as well go am5. Ram is so cheap these days that it's probably worth the extra to buy ddr5 even if you have some ddr4 lying around and looking for an am4 motherboard.

      • netsurfer on 23/09/2023 - 08:55

        I disagree. There are cheap B550 AM4 boards. Retailers know people want cheap AM4 setup. The issue is those cheap boards generally have less ports and it is still better to get them when heavily discounted.

        AM5, it is not just get any DDR5 RAM modules. I tried a set of cheap Samsung die based kit and that was a total nightmare. It felt like the AM5 platform was complete rubbish. Only 1 DIMM setup worked properly and that was with zero overclocking and always re-train memory on every single boot. Even for a Hynix kit, if you have DDR5-5400 or higher, AM5 requires memory training at least once. With the latest AMD AGESA, it easily takes 2 minutes. Need to wait 2 minutes before a PC will boot the first time may not be something that's very obvious to people AND if you cannot get memory context restore to work properly, imagine how painful it will be to wait 2 minutes for every boot. The alternative is run at DDR5-5200 or below where the memory re-train every time isn't so painful.

      Cheap B550 boards from the 4 major MB makers:

      Asus Prime B550M K AM4 mATX Motherboard - $115
      Asrock B550M-HDV AM4 mATX Motherboard - $113
      Gigabyte B550M DS3H AM4 mATX Motherboard - $119
      MSI Pro B550M-P Gen3 mATX AM4 Motherboard** - $128

      ** Warning: the cheapest B550 MSI board drops PCIe gen 4 x4 support so it is limited to PCIe gen 3 x4. I would avoid that one. If you really want an MSI board, get a B550 with PCIe gen 4 x4 support.

      DDR4 memory. Currently, right now, lots of SK Hynix CJR or DJR modules. Very hard to get Crucial E-die kits brand new now (Crucial stopped making them for a while) so second hand is the only option. Samsung DDR4 B-die kits are too expensive.

      Team T-Force Delta RGB Black 16GB (2x8GB) 3600MHz DDR4 - $59 (SK Hynix CJR, CL18) CJR is the most "cost effective" type (hint: you get what you paid for).
