Improving the CPU performance
Improving the CPU performance
Hey everyone, just checking in—upgrading from Ryzen 3 3100 to 5 3600. Is the extra cost worth it? The price gap is roughly £30/$35. Should I go for the 3600XT or save and stick with the standard model? Also, I’ve looked around but not sure if it fits my ASRock B450M Pro4 board.
Thanks! I saw some opinions online saying it's not worth it, but now you mentioned a 5% boost in performance, which might be worth considering for my needs. I looked up the B450M mATX on PC Part Picker and noticed they suggested a BIOS update. @Spotty, I’m not sure how reliable that site is with such details.
The 5600x won't fit on the B450, right? I think so. I'd probably need to budget a bit more for the motherboard too. That could turn into a tough "chase" situation.
I'm keeping costs in mind and considering selling my 3 3100 to upgrade to the new model. I plan to use light to medium VR on my PC and think this upgrade will help me reach my 1650Super goal.
