Thoughts and/or changes

[Why_Me]

Just enjoy indie games like Dead Cells, Slay the Spire, Wizard of Legend, Stardew Valley, Axiom Verge... the lists goes on and on... literally tons of AAA fun indie games out there that run at 60 fps on integrated graphics. Heck, they are even more fun than the demanding games imo.

The Asus board out of those 2 ..... The 11500 is pretty nice did a fun build with one. Gaming is terrible on both but more games are actually playable on the 11500.

I'd be happy just to surf the net on a desktop knowing I'm only a decent gpu away from playing CoD & BF. The suck part of it is the 3060 Ti's are going for more than the 3070's on ebay.

Try the newegg shuffle just do it everytime they have 3060 ti or 3060s

Seriously try some indie games, give it a couple hours before quitting. You might be pleasantly surprised how much fun you end up having.

The Asus and the 11500 - In a year the $25 difference between the CPUs won't matter and nobody ever says "I should have bought a slower CPU".

Another vote for the 'egg shuffle. They had 3060's and Ti's today. Just be aware they only come in a combo - EVGA's have been paired with EVGA power supplies, other brands mostly motherboards.

As long as they're FPS games I can do it. It's those other games that no can do .. such as those games with the elves, wizards and magic potions. No idea how others do it but if I was forced to play something such as WoW for three hours straight I'd probably end up hanging myself.

Tell that to the 3070 that showed up today.

In my own testing which means jack $h!t it seemed to sit in-between the 11400 and 11600k and Stayed pretty cool with a NH-U12S.... The IGP is odd though some games played surprisingly well others were a stutter fest. Maybe down to driver support. I don't have any of the boot issues that some people are having though.

I've been toying with the idea of picking up an 11400/500 simply so that I can use the 3rd M.2 slot on a Z490 board I have. I suppose if I sold the 10400 it wouldn't cost much.

It was pretty fun to put together.... What Boredom in 2021 looks like lol

I did it just to get some hands on with rocket lake just in case I do builds for people not holding my breath though everyone wants Ryzen 5000.... Done a 5600X build, 2 5800X, one 5900X, and one 5950X based one but Zero intel over the last couple years for other people.... I played around with a 10700k and gifted it to a buddy but that's been it.

wtf ... you just happened to have a Seasonic and Corsair laying around.

I have lot's of parts lying around.... I buy a lot of random shit to mess around with...

Also everyone should have backups of every component.... I also loan them out to people if/when they need to do RMA for the people I've done builds for that's been super rare though.

Intel Core i5 11400F and ASUS B560 Plus Prime Review - OC3D

Introduction Whenever a new series of products launches it’s very easy to get carried away on the wave of the high end performance and become a little power crazy. It is, however, important to remember that, for the majority of us, budgetary restrictions or a very real issue and any opportunity...

I wouldn't say that. Your comparing a previous gen CPU to a current gen model. The current gen 5600X handily beats it.

No reason to purchase a 3600 for a new build. If someone already has a B450, B550 or X570 board then that's another story.

The 11400(F) is even cheaper than the 3600, the 11500 about the same price. The 5600X is something like 70% more expensive than the 11400.

I'm also not a fan of such statements, but it's pretty true for those building a rig from scratch. AM4 compatibility is all the 3600 has going for it now, kinda sad how complacent AMD has gotten.

On that note, OP you seem pretty resolute on getting the 11500, did you buy it? If so, seems kinda strange to keep this thread going on performance charts of rocket lake

let's wait for Lisa Su's keynote address at computex June 1st before we jump to any conclusions. and AM4 was always set to be a 4-5 year lifespan from the beginning, so not sure why you are knocking that.

Why would I criticize AM4 compatibility? It's a good thing. The current pricing of Ryzen 3000 is AMD being complacent.

Not yet ... I just had to replace the tranny on my pickup. The more I read on these reviews the more I'm liking running that cpu without the PL.

Something like this ... decent VRM's and HS.
