This could be a suitable improvement for addressing a CPU bottleneck issue.
Based on my previous discussion, I think a CPU upgrade is likely necessary. I’m currently using a Ryzen 5 3600 with an RTX 2080, 16 GB RAM (2x8) at 2666 MHz. My plan is to switch to a Ryzen 5 7500F with 16 GB RAM (2x8) at 6000 MHz and an MSI PRO A620M-E MOBO. Will this configuration allow full GPU usage and eliminate bottlenecks? Should I consider overclocking my memory due to the MOBO’s default speeds? Is the RAM suitable for this build? Any feedback or advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks ahead, and please share any links you think are useful.
It would have been better to continue the previous discussion since much of the information is already useful. The Ryzen 7600 is the right choice instead of the 7500F. You should use two 16GB RAM sticks, either 6000CL36 or CL30. Sticks of 8GB won’t fit well on AM5 boards. For your motherboard, a B650 Gigabyte is ideal for future upgrades if you can afford it. If budget is tight, consider the 5800X3D or a 5600 chipset.
These 8GB DIMM modules are reduced in size and don't deliver the performance expected of DDR5. It's best to avoid them if possible. Were you expecting a price of £55.73 per unit? The 32GB 6000CL36 kit with EXPO offers a better value. https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/product/pwxR...f16gx2-fx5
You're still facing CPU bottlenecks even at top-tier gaming setups with an RTX 2080. A single stick of RAM will severely restrict performance, and 8GB DDR5 sticks aren't the best choice. The R5 7500F will likely underdeliver compared to a Ryzen 7 5700X. This setup will also restrict future upgrades while keeping costs similar to good B650 boards. For better value and performance, consider switching to a Ryzen 7 5800X3D or Ryzen 7 5700X. It's more affordable and will handle games more efficiently.
I’d like to choose a different chipset but currently only have the 7500f or Threadripper. I’m open to the 7600, though it’s not available. I still plan to use two RAM sticks and will skip the 8GB modules because of the warnings. Also, can you explain the difference between 6000 MT/s and MHz?
I’d really like to have the 7600, but it’s not in stock here right now. Thanks for understanding—I missed updating the earlier comment, and unfortunately neither of the other CPUs is available either.
6000 mt/s equals MHz. A million transfers per second translates to millihertz. Actually, it's 7500F. Where did you find a Ryzen CPU? EXPO is preferred, but any working setup is fine. XMP solutions typically function well too.
