Let's not get off topic. The OP has already chosen their CPU and they are now trying to select a cooler.What resolution is this claim made for? & to say 5% = 5fps is stretching it imo.

Thank you, I was returning my reply.Let's not get off topic. The OP has already chosen their CPU and they are now trying to select a cooler.

Both options are good but id lean more towards saving. To me spending almost 600 pounds for a cpu and cooler seems like an oxymoron (the whole advantage of am4 was that you could get cost-effective upgrade path if you're running older motherboards).I say do nothing and save your money for now.

considering your poor and old mobo, i'd eliminate the 1st option.Hello,
currently my setup is mentioned on my profile. But to make it easier my key parts.
CPU AMD Ryzen 5 3600 Motherboard ASUS Prime B350-Plus RAM DDR4 2x16GB @ 3600MT CL16 GPU RX 6800 XT
Well I am playing on 1440p and when I play I tend to notice that my GPU isn't fully utilized when playing games. Since I have a somewhat of a older mid-range processor I realized that I need a new, faster one.
My rig is only for gaming / light work. Definitely not heavy CPU loads such as rendering etc. No overclocking planned. My budget sits at around 500 Euro.
I have been looking into upgrade options and three (possibly four) upgrades came to my mind:
4th option is to migrate to Zen 4 in the fall. But I don't want to invest so much money into early DDR5 adoption.
- Keep AM4 and upgrade CPU to Zen3 (5800X, 5700X, 5800X3D). Motherboard supports Zen 3(D).
- Switch to Intel 1700 (possibly 12600K / 12700K) with DDR4
- Wait for Raptor lake (and hope it supports DDR4)
What upgrade path would you take if you were me?
Thanks
why you need such an monster-priced cpu for solely gaming purposes only? to tell friends about how cool cpu you have lol?Both options are good but id lean more towards saving. To me spending almost 600 pounds for a cpu and cooler seems like an oxymoron (the whole advantage of am4 was that you could get cost-effective upgrade path if you're running older motherboards).
That's not really cost-effective, no way I would pour that amount of money on something that's going to lose to mid-range chips in a few months (midrange will also have a future upgrade path and at least PCI 4.0).
Plus you have to factor in now is a good time for resale value on PCI 3.0 era motherboards and DDR4. 2 years down the line those might not have any resale value

Because it was made for gaming..why you need such an monster-priced cpu for solely gaming purposes only?
No one would care.. outside of forum buddiesto tell friends about how cool cpu you have lol?

well, i've had i7-10700K, now I have i5-11400F and don't feel ANY problems in modern games. You can play even on some Dual-Xeon server but it's same thing as having 3080Ti or 3090Ti can't see a difference for gaming purposes but definitely can see the difference in price lolBecause it was made for gaming..

I’ve got no problems either.. but he has an older system that he wants to update.well, i've had i7-10700K, now I have i5-11400F and don't feel ANY problems in modern games.

of course lolI will go from a i7 6700K to a i7 12700K next month.
I hope the i7 12700K is good enough for at least the next 6 years, with at least 1 or 2 GPU upgrades.
