Bro, what a KILLER upgrade. AM4 is definitely the best bang for your buck socket ever made. And you can still get the 5950X down the road if you need the extra cores. Congrats!
Yeah, gotta love how AMD does their sockets. From AM3+ to AM4, it's not like you have to get a new mobo EVERY SINGLE TIME you want to get the next gen CPU. I went from an R5 3600 to an R9 5900x on the same board. Sure, it killed the B450 board because it wasn't meant to handle THAT kind of wattage all the time (142w PPT stock) and I was into encoding videos at the time, so I ended up killing that Asus B450-F Gaming II. So I went with an Asus B550-F Gaming Wi-Fi II and it handles this 5900x doing anything. Plus the "II" version came with Wi-Fi 6e and BT 5.3, so that was neat. I dunno, I'm just impressed with the mobo and the abuse I've put through it. I mean, I even have all 6x S-ATA slots filled, an M.2 NVME slot with a 2TB Samsung 970 Evo Plus, dang near every USB port ha something in it (Flight stick, throttle, TrackIR Pro, Xbone controller, mouse/keyboard, a flash drive, a USB-C to USB-C for my phone to tether internet... probably leaving a few things out). I even threw a 1x PCI-e USB 3 card in it with 4x more USB 3 slots. I'll stop here because I love talking PC hardware.
Is that motherboard still handling your 5900x? Or have you upgraded it already? I had an Asus STRIX B450-F Gaming II with an R5 3600 for a long time. I decided to upgrade to a 5900x. I went from a 3600 that with PBO it maxed at 90 watts. Now I had a 5900x with a 142w PPT... stock. I enabled PBO a handful of times. I could get up to 180 watts. But anyways... I popped something on that board while PBO wasn't on and killed it. Had to get a better mobo with a more powerful VRM set up. Got the Asus B550-F Gaming Wi-Fi II. Turns out, 180 watts was all that the B450 board could put out. I've hit 220 watts on this board and COULD hit more... but I use the Asus Performance Enhancement on this board. It's practically PBO, but it's a preset 1000w PPT/1000a TDC/180a EDC. The 180a EDC is the only limit and it works well. I can hit about 200 watts in P95 or 165ish watts in CPU-z under SSE. APE just works better in games than PBO, I get higher clock speeds for whatever reason, even if I put the same settings in PBO manually. Just doesn't matter. You definitely need a good mobo for the 5900x. I use a Fuma 2 Rev B on my 5900x. The 5900x is quite easy to cool. Runs cooler temps than the 5800x, as a matter of fact. Guess it's the way it's laid out with 2x CCDs. I use Arctic Silver 5 and no one will ever convince me otherwise that anything is better other than that liquid metal stuff which I'm not dealing with. AS5 is SUPER finicky, so just a hair too much or too little can throw your temps off by 5C. I've got it down to a science and yeah... with the Fuma 2 Rev B and 5900x, I typically see 58-62C averages in 99% of games. I'm not spending any more money on this rig, but I COULD have went with something better than the Fuma 2 Rev B. It's great, don't get me wrong, but once you get beyond 180 watts, the temps really start to rise into the 80C+ range. I think a Dark Rock Pro 4 or whatever would have been a better choice. Not really into Noctua, despite their good performance, because I'm not paying 300% more for the same performance as a Dark Rock Pro 4 or whatever and get brown fans haha. But, yeah, how is that B350 holding up with the 5900x? I can see it lasting if ALL you do is game, but if you do encoding on that rig... ain't no way it's making it a year pulling 142 watts for hours at a time.. or more if you are using PBO.
the 7000 series the 7950x is 1.8x better i believe and the new Ryzen CPUs it depends but the new 7000 series 3d cpu is supposed to be at least 2x better so noice
Hey, bro, just make your RAID 0 set ups in Windows. I literally doubled my speed just using Windows to set it up vs using my motherboard and haven't had any issue for YEARS. I mean, I've even swapped mobos and they just plug back in and Windows knows what to do. It may be "software RAID" but who cares when you are getting the same performance as doing it via hardware RAID 0? I remember when we HAD to use hardware RAID 0 back in like Windows XP days, so that's what I did back then. But now? There's no point in it that I see unless there's a compatibility issue, as in, you want to put 4x M.2 NVME drives in RAID using those special cards. I know my board has that option (the Asus B550-F Gaming Wi-Fi II). There's a PCI-e card you get that is made by Asus to RAID 4x M.2 NVMEs lol. 1x M.2 NVME is PLENTY fast for me. I need to get a second one. I have the Samsung 970 Evo Plus 2TB model, but it's PCI-e 3.0. I want to add another one, a 2TB Samsung 990 Pro PCI-e 4.0 for my top slot... just so I can transfer files between them SUPER fast. SSDs just ain't what they used to be. That 550 MB/s read and 500 MB/s write just isn't impressive anymore when you can read at 3500 MB/s on PCI-e 3.0 with a M.2 NVME.

do the cinebench after bios set up to see the score.

Hi, I have the exact same motheboard and cpu, and would like to upgrade to 5900x too. Would you please share the motherboard vrm temperature?
he will see your comment after 2 years dw
also why not the 5950x
Just money dog
@@vextakes makes sense
I just bought a 5950x for $35 it was listed as a 1600
a
are you single, cuz i think you are L
