Upgrade from 9700K to 7600X + B650 mobo for current RTX 3080. Advice needed, which parts to pick?

droid99 · Dec 12, 2022

Pc build took me 9h omg, i was annoyed with installation

Basically installation of 6 fans took so much time and now it will take again more time haha, life :rockout:

I can't give up, guys!

@droid99 seeing all the am5 builds makes me want to just get the platform just to have an early switch. My wallet's screaming at me tho " Dont hurt me please!"
lol

Do it if you need and you feel like your old PC is bad. What platform you have now btw?

@JrRacinFan to be honest 7600X gave me amazing performance uplift vs 9700K
In quake champions game, i have 350-450 fps now on ultra video settings + RTX 3080

Before i had max 230-300 fps on high settings with same RTX 3080

Imagine what will be with Ryzen 7000 3d cache. It will be destroyer CPU!

5900x on an MSI X570S chipset 3070 Ti gpu. See specs. Based on my usage, I really could skip this generation of AMD cpus if i wanted to.

This is exactly why I am trying to wait. I want the 8 core part.

Yeah, but Ryzen 7000 is just too good and will be better with new bios update. I hope Mobo price will get cheaper till waiting for Ryzen 3D.
You can get nice x670E

Yeah, but i try not to overspend on mobo. IM thinking B650E this time around. The 470/570 chipsets were just a touch too much for my needs.

You can easily grab Asus b650e Strix e. Very good mobo. Very solid. Vrm section is also very strong, enough to OC even 7950X. There is also post code, although personally i don't understand how is works, but nice to have haha

It's up to you.

Guys, small update

Corsair mp600 lpx didn't match to motherboard. I couldn't use Asus q-latch feature.
You can see in picture Corsair SSD is too thick. It's was 2TB version. Maybe 1TB version is slightly slim.

So i returned Corsair SSD and bought Samsung 990 pro SSD. I used motherboard's heatsink.

You see my final build

Thank you again for help!

Heatsink looks to be interfering with it. Could've worked it out by removing the q latch, putting in the ssd, adding the q latch and then screwing it down. Either way, nice build, looks beastly.

I would suggest you to go for at least a B650E motherboard (preferably X670E if you can) if you are going to keep that system for a while and as you will be upgrading to a 7XXX3D I think it will stay with for atleast 4-5 years. By that time you will have PCIe 5.0 Gfx cards in the market and also NVME PCIe 5.0 SSDs. Hence future-proofing your system. Also as history has shown X series chipsets provide better upgradability.
As for your PSU I would suggest you keep the one you have for now.
Also get a new case with better airflow and support for AIOs like the ones you have mentioned already. Case isn't a thing which can easily be swapped after you have built your system.

Wha , don't even need Gen 4 never mind gen 5 ha, not even in 5 years. I think be better of with 650E.

Make sure that Corsair Ram has a Ryzen badge, it has been a bane for Ryzen ddr4 platform. Id say GSkill or Crucial

Yeah another vote for G.Skill here

only if you really suck at applying thermal paste or want to use something conductive.

This thing appeals to meticulous folks like me. Because if I had this processor, I would not want the thermal paste to flow into the gaps there. I would buy it even though I applied the putty well.

PLease list your system specs in your member settings. It sucks to see a PC and not know what is in it.

enjoy your new pc and the performance boost from the 9700k, i want to upgrade now because i have the upgrade itch
but ill be good and wait until 2025/2026 i feel the 9900k still have a few more years before it starts to struggle in the new games

Hows your fps lows running on that 21:9 display?

I just noticed your display @droid99 Acer Predator XB3 that monitor is a killer. I bet the 3080 keeps up with it no problems. Anyways, still love the build. Got my Arctic fans in. I reversed the airflow of the case as a test. Shouldnt have, I need to configure it back to how i had it.

I’ve purchased an ASRock B650E PG Riptide WiFi motherboard with a RyZen 7950X CPU. I went with ASRock because the last few Asus motherboards I’ve used developed issue that made me question the quality. Also I really liked my ASRock X570 Taichi. There seem to be some minor issues with ASRock boards which they are now addressing with updated BIOS. Maybe it’s early adopters issues but I’m abstaining from recommending them in the interim.

Hello guys

Small update.

I'm going to RMA my Asus B650E Strix-E, faulty lan port Intel NiC i225 causing a lot of troubles.

https://www.intel.com.au/content/ww...s/gigabit-ethernet-adapters-up-to-2-5gbe.html

That's error popping up.

Nothing helped. I have newest bios and newest LAN driver. Users says it's can't be fixed by software.

I don't know which Mobo to get now to avoid problems like this

i ordered 7600X, MSI B650 Carbon,

cooler will be air one - DeepCool AS500 PLUS, with AIO only problems haha

I decided to leave my Evolv X case and PSU, i will change only fans to better one. Actually new Phanteks M25 fans inside new case - G500A are pretty good in techpowerup review https://www.techpowerup.com/review/phanteks-eclipse-g500a-performance/10.html 3pack of 140mm size costs 50 euro there. Need to wait 10 days.

And ram will be Corsair 6000mhz cl36(cl30 is not available) https://skinflint.co.uk/corsair-vengeance-rgb-grau-dimm-kit-32gb-cmh32gx5m2d6000z36k-a2829597.html

I need to choose right SSD , do you think heatsink on MSI B650 Carbon could cool down SSD ? Or I should buy SSD with prebuilt heatsink?

Depending on the games, some dip into the 30s and 40s its not bad but i lower a few settings just to boost the increase it higher for a smoother 0.1% and the average fps increases to match my monitor's 100hz (control, cyberpunk 2077 and the witcher 3 with next gen patch) i have to lower the settings more
