Time for upgrade from 2700x
Time for upgrade from 2700x
After using the same setup since 2019, I upgraded with a 16GB 3600 kit. The issues began soon after troubleshooting. It turned out the system couldn’t handle four 8GB 36000 memory sticks—especially above 1800MB. This led to corruption of my Windows installation. I realized it was time for an upgrade. I’m unsure what to choose: stick with AM4 and replace just the CPU, or go for a new motherboard and CPU? Thanks for the PCPartPicker list!
It might relate to a hardware problem, as four RAM sticks aren't recommended. The first-gen Ryzen struggled with memory management, while the second-gen offered better performance but still had room for improvement. What are you planning to spend on upgrades? What are your intended purposes?
I share the same motherboard, it all comes down to how often you upgrade. If you're thinking about another upgrade before 2025, consider the Ryzen 7000 series. If you prefer keeping one machine for over four years, stick with what you have and skip the newer AM5 models. A 5800X3D could help you use your existing GPUs more effectively, and even if they don’t hit full 3600MHz, the cache can still boost performance. Running at 3200MHz CL15 might only give a slight drop in synthetic scores, around 1%.
I'm just like you, no intention to destroy everything soon. Especially because the 2080ti servers are still working fine for me, and I paid for that card like it's made of gold and diamonds.
5800X3D is within your budget, if the board is the issue, then a bit leftover to change the board as well. If you game in 1440p or 4K or 1080p but don't need super high fps, 5700X is enough, again if the board is the issue, plenty of leftover to change the board as well.
Certainly, just insert X3D and you’ll see the same issue when trying to run high memory speeds on that board. The memory controller works well up to around 3200 but then it starts to fail, causing errors and more problems. The 5000 series resolves most of these issues and enables PCIe 4.0, so upgrading your GPU will make the board compatible with newer cards and keep you competitive.
1440p I'm not not sure what would be considered good deal since I'm not familiar with market but here is site where I get all my pc parts usually https://www.mindfactory.de/Hardware/Proz...l+AM4.html
And if the memory struggles at 3600Hz with a 5800x3D configuration, switching it to 3200CL15 will barely cause a drop of 1% in synthetic tests. In reality, only about 1% difference per frame—far less than a noticeable change. That cache is an enormous buffer.
