I appreciate all help and knowledge. Sig has specs.
When the Asus Tuf x570 came out I recall a review that questioned the asus tuf x570's ability to power a 3950x without problems.
I havnt kept up on the specifics and dont know power consumption of the 3000 series vs 5000.
I have a bonus coming end of next month and am thinking about upgrading.
I am thinking about a 5900x or 5950x, I'll be able to get either (if they arnt being scalped). I just dont know enough about power draw and VRM's and all that to guess if running the 3900x ok means I am good for the 5950, 4 more cores is a 33% increase in things that want energy.
TLDR: Will I have problems with a 5950x in my system?
With the socket change this'll be the last new CPU for this board. Should keep me gaming for a few years though.
