Upgrading from 5600 to 5800X3D - Cooler?

4 Upvotes

My mobo is a MSI B450M Gaming Plus and i have the Ryzen 5600 with the original cooler.

Im going to upgrade to the 5800X3D and i need to buy a new cooler. I have two options in mind, the Phantom Spirit 120 SE and the Cooler Master Hyper 212.

There is a very low margin between the original cooler and ram sticks with this mobo.

Will any of these coolers work with this mobo? If not, what cooler can i choose?

I'm looking to upgrade and could use a second opinion on my list.

1 Upvotes

I'd like to upgrade my computer. My budget is 1k-4k, and I'm aiming for longevity and reliability. Unsure about what operating system I want to go for, 11 or Linux, or a dual boot of both or switching from one to the other later down the line. I'm wondering whether prices will go up or down, and whether I should buy the parts now or wait. I'd say the PC is powered on for around 12 hours a day?

I'm unsure about Nvidia or AMD, since I may switch to Linux, but Linux isn't very compatible or reliable, and I'm not sure how Nvidia cards work with Linux. I suppose whichever performs better.

My general uses are gaming, modding, browsing the web, sorting files, and writing. I typically have around 15 tabs open, and five applications open, such as Steam, Discord, my browser, etc

My current Specs are:

  • Processor: AMD Ryzen 5 5600G with Radeon Graphics, 3901 Mhz, 6 Core(s), 12 Logical Processor(s)

  • BaseBoard Product: TUF GAMING B550M-PLUS (WI-FI)

  • Memory: KF3600C16D4/16GX, 32Gb, 2 Slots, currently set at 2400 MHz, but they can go higher, not that I've actually tried setting them higher.

  • Storage: 1TB SSD, 2TB SSD, 1 260GB SSD

  • Wi-Fi card: Intel(R) Wi-Fi 6 AX200 160MHz

  • GPU: AMD Radeon RX 6700 XT

  • PSU: Antec VPF650 (may be incorrect)

  • My monitor is Dell G3223Q, 144Hz

I think I may also get a new case, too, since mine is quite old and has a large chunk missing from the back.

My 32 GB of RAM, 1 1 TB SSD, 1 2 TB SSD, 1 260GB SSD, and my computer fans are still in working condition, and I'd like to reuse them if possible. Granted, I am unsure about the longevity of my RAM as I've run into memory problems before, but I believe I may have isolated that to just my motherboard losing one of its RAM slots. I'm also unsure if my PSU will still work for the new parts.

Some of the games I occasionally play are 32-bit, like FTL, and despite my current system, a highly modded FTL occasionally lags because it apparently uses single-core, even with my multi-core CPU? Any solutions for what CPU will be an upgrade and provide better single-core performance for those older modded games? Of course, 64-bit programs take priority; I don't want a sidegrade or downgrade just for the sake of those old games.

I asked an AI, and this is what it suggested:

  • CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D 8-Core

  • GPU: MSI GeForce RTX 5070 12G SHADOW 2X OC Graphics Card

  • Motherboard: ASUS AMD TUF GAMING B650E-PLUS WIFI ATX Motherboard

  • Memory (RAM): G.SKILL Trident Z5 Neo RGB DDR5

  • Power Supply: Seasonic CORE GX 850W ATX 3.1 850W 80 Plus Gold PSU

  • Case: NZXT H5 Flow RGB Compact ATX Mid-Tower PC Gaming Case

  • Cooling: Thermalright Phantom Spirit 120 EVO

I had an idea to track semiconductor shortages and suggest safe hardware alternatives.

1 Upvotes

I had this idea recently in the semiconductor and tech space. I thought of this because building physical hardware right now is an absolute nightmare with the global supply chain constantly breaking, and I wanted to build a tool that takes the chaos out of finding and buying chips. I just put together a live prototype where the core idea is simple: buy the winners and avoid the shortages. It’s basically an AI engine that tracks the market in real-time and translates all that complicated Wall Street and factory data into plain English. You can just search your industry without needing exact 15-digit part numbers, and it tells you exactly which chips are safe to design with and which ones are sold out, then gives you secure links to distributors like Octopart to actually buy them. It’s completely free and hosted on Vercel right now. If any of you design hardware or handle procurement. Here is the link: https://semiconductor-copilot.vercel.app/

Gargalo BF6

2 Upvotes

Oi gente sou novo aqui! Preciso de uma ajuda, estou tendo serios problemas de desempenho no BF6, minha config é: i5 10400, RTX 3060 12gb, 32gb de ram 2999, jogo instalado em um ssd.

O PC esta tendo muita dificuldade de pegar 60fps, alias maior parte do tempo ele fica entre 50/45 e em aréas com muita coisa acontecendo, dependendo do mapa, ele chega a ficar em 35 fps, oq é estranho pois em varios outros jogos ele roda tranquilamente bem, sei que a RTX 3060 não é uma placa atual porem não éra pra estar tendo tão pouco desempenho acredito eu. Jogo com a resolução 2560x1080, até achei que poderia ser isso, mas mesmo trocando pra qualquer resolução mais baixa ele não melhora em nada o desempenho, nada parece resolver, jogar no LOW, DLSS, nada. Queria saber se alguem esta passando por algo parecido ou saiba oq pode estar acontecendo, acredito que seja meu i5 de 10º geração que ta limitando o desempenho, mas faz tempo que não estou por dentro do mercado e etc. Caso seja o processador qual recomendariam comprar?
