I have 3600 cas 16 that I run at 3733 cas 16.I think you'll see the most benefit from going with a 3800 or 4000 kit at the lowest cas you can find. 14, 15 would be your best bet imo. Seems to be a 5+ % benefit from moving to faster ram.

you'd be fine with what you have. Enjoy!Not really easy to find those kits. Supply is not really that great. I have 3200 cl 14 G-skill that I have been able to do 3733 at 1.45v with CL 15. I will probably try to get that to 3800 to see how it works. Currently I have it at 1:1 at 3600. But seems like there still is issue with ryzen 5000 running at 1900-2000mhz, do so I am not sure if i would recommend 3800-4000 just yet. AMD is still optimizing it but it still wont be guranteed.

Yeah, that makes sense. I went all in on the board because I was aiming for a 5900x and I thought it would be a really good pairing. With the overpricing of the 5800x (my opinion) my frugal self (lol) is telling my other self that I could have bought an under $300 dollar board to match with the CPU. Everything would be peachy if I was able to get the 5900x but can't really complain right now. I have a working Wintel PC and this is more of an enthusiast upgrade to try the new goodies that are out.
LOL, whoa, that's definitely to Hard for me...BTW just saw this on the news today. If you are interested in cooling with LN2 you can get a 5950x to 6Ghz on that motherboard. LOL.

I'm gonna stick with an AIO 240mm water cooler though. Hehe.
People are actually buying these and bidding them around 1700-2000 on eBay. That is just enabling scalpers. I don’t think these CPUs will be unavailable for long. CPUs tend to normalize fairly well in supply for AMD. Given these are just small 8 core dies. So it better to just wait a month or two. I have a 3900x so not really in a hurry.
But 5950x will just extend my platform pretty well for next 2-3 years minimum with the x570. Don’t really wanna change the board anytime soon. May be zen 5 lol.
Originally voted 5900X but have decided to keep the 5950X instead. Returned the 5900X to Best Buy last night. 5950X comes in Thursday!
Decided to end the AM4 legacy by putting the best chip in it. Will last me until a good chunk into the AM5 lifespan as I won’t upgrade until initial DDR5 prices drop anyway.
I mostly game but I also help edit videos for a small YouTube channel (not mine). Nothing crazy, I just have expendable income to be completely honest.You just wanted to be matching with your rigs, 6950x with a 5950x lol
Just curious what do you do with your computer mostly? Not judging, I went overkill with my new setup (havent updated sig), and I mostly game.
What time did you put your pre-order in?
What discord server? I ordered around the same time and what to find out when they placed. B&H won’t tell me anything about where I’m in the queue
Same I would like to know what server that wasWhat discord server? I ordered around the same time and what to find out when they placed. B&H won’t tell me anything about where I’m in the queue
10/5 at around 1:45 A.M.What time did you put your pre-order in?
Honestly they didn't say I was in the Nvidia Snatcher discord and someone just posted the image saying it was "from another Discord server"What discord server? I ordered around the same time and what to find out when they placed. B&H won’t tell me anything about where I’m in the queue

Thank you for your AMD Ryzen Processor order.

We are working closely with AMD trying to secure additional product. We will send you an update in early December.

Just curious as to when your order was placed?I got the by March email from b&h...
So I went to my local computer part store here in Yamagata Japan, I didn't want to pay Japanese prices, but I might be forced to. Here in Japan, the 5900x is ¥65,000, which is about 650usd. Then there is a 10% sales tax, so it ends up being over 700usd. By ordering it through b&h I was only at 620 with shipping and import tax.
Well anyway, the local store told me that all of their supply in Japan was sold out and their suppliers were out too. So they can only wait until their suppliers get a shipment from amd. So they have no idea when that will be. He said maybe come back in two weeks.
About 2 Hou before launch. I was working at the start of b&h's pre-orderJust curious as to when your order was placed?
Dammit. Wish I waited. Saw it on B&H at midnight and jumped on it.I got a 5600x from Mcenter 2 hours after open on launch day. They had 32 in stock.
5600x is better at gaming than basically every CPU out right now so saith the reviews as well.
Its hilarious when I heard someone say that they were pissed because they sold out of 5950x and their games were gonna run poorly on 6 little cores. The avg pc gamer is a total dolt. Guess that was why there was 32 of tge fastest gaming cpus on the planet sitting neglected hours after launch.
I took the plunge and did preorder via B&H photo. I was scanning Amazon and Newegg at 12AM and did not see any listed on the website yet. I guess I'll go for the "sure" thing. I'll let you guys know if/when it ships.
So is anybody else buying a Ryzen 5000 today, if so which one did you go for -- 5950x, 5900x, or 5600x??
