Q: QuestionCan i replace my ryzen 7 3700x with this on a b450 mobo in my cyber power gaming pc with coolrmaster cooler and a rtx 3070 gpu with 16 GB of ram, and will i see an improvement in fps?

Asked 4 years ago by Edau1.

• A:Answer Is it compatible? On paper yes it is. All B450 motherboards are or will be working on Ryzen 5000s CPUs. You don't have the motherboard listed so it's hard to check if it has the BIOS update to work with the 5800x. But you won't be taking advantage of ALL the features. B450 boards do not have Gen 4 PCIE, which means the newer graphics cards that are impossible to buy right now, will work but at an optimal capacity, If you're gaming at 1440p or higher you may see a slight bump in FPS and latency will diminish. TL/DR: Yes you can swap it out if the BIOS is updated, and you will see some improvement. But is it worth over $400 to see FPS improvements of maybe 10-12 FPS at most? (AMD claims that this generation is up to 20% better than last gen (3000 series Ryzen and so far that claim is accurate but depends on title.) Hope this helps

Q: QuestionWHY IS THIS $400 FOR A LITTLE PART????!!!!

Asked 4 years ago by 400.

• A:Answer Maybe because it's an advanced piece of technology and without it you wouldn't be able to run anything in your computer at all? processors are the literal work-horse of every computer. not to mention this one in particular is pretty strong for gaming.

Q: QuestionWhat are some motherboard recommendations for this CPU in the $100-$200 range?

Asked 4 years ago by RadMaster.

• A:Answer Depends on your application. For the most part Asus ROG Strix B550-F, it has everything you need and then some. Notable features are Flashback making it easy to upgrade firmware and do NOT require you to have a gen 2 CPU to upgrade, as other do. The best part is it the B550-F has a lot of features that make upgrading in the future possible. This puts you at the $200 mark. If you want something a bit cheaper go with their TUF series at $150. You lose some ports and features, but you keep the quality. Somethings to look for is RBG ( if you're into that), WiFi 6, NVMe 4.0 support, headers if your case has front ports, and how well the motherboard handles heat. These are just some of the big ones. If you plan on transitioning into a small form factor, I'd go with B550-I as it has all the features the B550-F has in a smaller size. BTW, the B550-F is currently at a very good price.

  I would recommend:

Q: QuestionDid anyone have to update the bios on a B550 MB with this chip?

Asked 4 years ago by RJ.

• A:Answer While I don't have a B550 MB (bit the bullet for an X570 when I made the switch to AMD), I will suggest that it's always a good idea to check for updates frequently.

Q: QuestionDo you guys still not have a date when the amd 5800x will come to your store?

Asked 4 years ago by JanfoMango.

• A:Answer Best Buy restocks every other week on Tuesday so the next time it will restock is the 19th after that you will need to wait a week but the week after on Tuesday will be another restocking and on and on, plus the more they restock the easier it will be to get one as people get these new processors everyday so he chances of getting one is extremely high on restocking day hope this helps.

Q: QuestionIm having a hard time knowing what cpu to get. i need one that i can stream and game on with a RTX 2070 Super & 64GB Ram. i want good FPS and i want a good looking stream in 1080p. Should i go Ryzen 7 5800x or Ryzen 5 5600x ? someone help pls

Asked 3 years ago by DTapp.

• A:Answer Ram you are covered there (if at least 3200mhz CL18). 2070 super will depend on the game. If it is not a demanding game at 1080p (assuming that is your monitor resolution) then you should be good with a Ryzen 7 5800x. However, if you had a RTX 3000 they have NVENC (you can google more about it) that offloads the streaming task on the GPU and not loading them on the CPU. I have a build with a 3070 Ti, 32gb ram 3600 CL18 (that has never gone more than 64% usage), R7 5800X (that has never gone more than 65% usage and that is while gaming, streaming and browsing). On that build I have used streamlabs and OBS and no issues streaming warzone at 1080p 60fps.

Q: QuestionIs the price on the webpage ($179) the same as in store? My sister is going to the US soon so I wanted to give her cash to buy it.

Asked 1 year ago by LuliG.

• A:Answer The price online is not always the same in store. There are a few reasons for this: * Sales and promotions: Sales and promotions that are offered online may not be available in stores, and vice versa. * Inventory differences: The price online may reflect the availability of the item in the online store's warehouse, while the price in store may reflect the availability of the item in the specific store location. * Local taxes: The price online may not include local taxes that will be added at checkout, while the price in store will already include those taxes. Here are some things you can do to find out if the price online is the same as in store: * Contact the store directly: You can call the store or send them an email to ask about the price of the item. * Check the store's website: Some stores will list the in-store price on their website alongside the online price. * Use a price matching app: There are a number of apps that can help you find the best price on an item, both online and in stores. Even if the price is not exactly the same, your sister may still be able to save money by buying the item online and having it shipped to the store for free in-store pickup. Here are some additional things to keep in mind: * If your sister is going to be traveling with a checked bag, she will need to make sure that the item is allowed in checked baggage. * If the item is fragile, she will need to pack it carefully to avoid damage during shipping. I hope this helps!

Q: QuestionWhat type of lithium ion battery is required for the AMD Ryzen 7 5800X?

Asked 1 year ago by Anonymous.

• A:Answer The AMD Ryzen 7 5800X is a desktop processor and does not require a battery. It is powered by a power supply unit (PSU) that is connected to your computer's power outlet. The battery requirement listed on some websites is likely a placeholder or refers to a small battery that might be used for specific features in some motherboards, but it's not directly related to the processor itself.
