The issue with my motherboard overheating needs attention.
I believe it's a good idea to replace your FX-8350 rig.
It’s nearly outdated for gaming purposes.
Its single-thread performance is weak, with a passmark of 1565.
Upgrading to the r3-3100 would improve things significantly, reaching a rating of 2442.
I’m unsure about purchasing an older B450 motherboard.
You’ll need DDR4 RAM installed.
A 2 x 8GB package costs around $50 for 2666 MHz.
Ryzen relies heavily on fast RAM for optimal performance, so aim for something more recent.
Think about using a current-generation Intel processor instead.
The $110 intel i3-10100 offers better gaming performance with a single-thread rating of 2649.
It works with any LGA1200 motherboard and costs approximately $70.
2666 speed RAM is sufficient.
Here’s a review: https://www.techpowerup.com/review/intel...00/15.html
Yes, I understand. These CPUs are quite similar in price. However, I could wait for the Ryzen 4000 models to see if they affect the costs. Also, since I have my final exams coming up, I plan to make the change in winter, probably. If possible, the system will cost between 100-110k Ft, and I can sell it for 60-70k Ft, so I need to earn some money first.
Quick update: I downclocked my cpu to 3.4Ghz, I run a stess-test for 8-10mins and it's quiet stable. I have no drops now (I tested it with sekiro high preset for 15mins, while before I had like 7-8 drops to 20-30fps for 15-20secs in 15mins) so it will do it for me now, until I can do the upgrade. Surely I can't utilize my gpu more than 50-60%, so I'll need that upgrade, but I'm fine with it now.
