GPU operation on PCI x8 interface
GPU operation on PCI x8 interface
The motherboard is compatible with the 5950X, but I strongly recommend avoiding the 3900X, 3950X, 5950X, or 5900X. Their VRM won't perform well with these models. Are you thinking about the 5950X? If you're mainly for gaming, go with the 5800X3D—it matches Intel's Lake Adler, AMD's Zen4, and is close to Intel's Raptor Lake. For Ryzen users seeking over 8 cores with Zen3 performance, the 7 5700X is the top choice, offering similar gaming power to the 5800X, 5900X, and 5950X.
I notice your concern about potential problems, but it seems you're already aware of some challenges. Cooling is another point of worry. I'm okay with this, though. The lag issues on my 1700/GTX1650-OC setup were mostly due to display refresh rate limits, not actual bottlenecks. The investment in a 5900X build could have been better used for a 55" Phillips Momentum with RTX3090 and improved RAM.
