A:AnswerThey sell the processors, yet depending on the current hardware you run you may want to be mindful of the cpu you want to upgrade to is compatible with the current motherboard you have, if it is you may need to upgrade to the current Bios

A:AnswerIf you’re gaming/streaming/watching/listening to music all at the same time I would choose the ryzen 9.

A:AnswerIt depends. Some games demand more CPU usage, while others might require more GPU usage. You can monitor performance with a few different applications to see how different games utilize your CPU and GPU to get an idea. Also, check out comparisons on YouTube.
A:AnswerThere is a general overall shortage. Your best bet is to just follow your store of choice closely for incoming stock. I personally used a stock alert bot someone setup to get a notification. The product alerts built into places like Amazon trigger too slowly, but the time you get the email it's already out of stock. You either need to watch closely to compete with the scalpers and bots, or wait a month or two for things to settle down.
A:AnswerThese go in and out of stock so fast the auto-notifier sometimes doesn’t even have time to figure it out. It’s best just to check every week on Tuesday’s and Fridays during the morning hours .
A:AnswerTDP is 142w. The Zen 3 chips run hotter than Zen 2 and team blue chips, so you'll definitely want to get a solid cooler. I paired this with a Noctua NH-U14S and it's been running great.
