Agnostic - Screams at 4 gen's of Intel, is 5700X3D Worth It?

[nomdeplume]

I'm sitting on a 3080 and the situation keeps degrading, literally, beyond any feasible constructive purchase. As a last gasp before supplies dry up is there some consensus 5700X3D and whatever B550 board I can get hands on is at all a rational mid-term purchase? Investment in substantially better cooling to double ambient operating temps?

The killer here is a Z370 board goes for more than it retailed and my H370 mobo refuses to accept 3xxx GPU. Getting tired of making tired threads on tired legacy hardware.

Sorry to hear of your predicament, weren’t there beta BIOSes for Asus 3xx boards that supported reBAR? Or is it another compatibility issue? I wasn’t aware of any issues with my last Asus Prime Z390-A and my RTX 3060 Ti, so wonder what the root cause is?

Seems a like a solid choice. I would point you toward AsRock for a motherboard and Thermaright for a cooler.

The 5800 Rig I built in late 2021
Asrock Steel Legend B550
Ry 7 5800 OEM (before there was ever a 5700X)
32G Crucial Ballistix Gaming Red 3600
Crucial MX500
Thermalright ARO M14G
Seasonic Focus Gold 650
Zalman Z1 Neo
Pioneer BDXL
W11 untainted by MS Updates (Killed WUD totally)

To me Steel Legend Replaced TUF as a good moddle ground board

I have a 5800X & 3080 and feels like a pretty balanced build, I play at 4K so I didn't go for X3D as it cost 50% more than this non-3D.

What situation is degrading?

In any case it's all about your budget. The cheapest B450 motherboard (much cheaper than the B550 boards) you can find and a Ryzen 5600 is about €200 new where I live. For 4K CPU matters far less than GPU, something like a 5700X3D wouldn't make sense unless you also have a high end GPU. But if you have the money for a 5700x3d sure yeah go for it. I do believe Dwarf Fortress does really well on those...
