AM4 mobo upgrade to B550 Tomahawk

[bluntzMastah]

Hola! So I am running R5 5600 ( non x ) on Asus Prime B450M-A2 mobo and I am thinking is it worth to upgrade my mobo to MSI B550 Tomahawk ( costs only 127€ wifi version atm ) and will I benefit?
I want to upgrade as I played a bit with Ryzen Master and would like to play further more, but I am afraid I will fry my curent mobo lol.

I am thinking of using this system AM4 for at least 5 years more, and upgrading gpu and cpu ( X3D ) later.

My set up:
R5 5600 + Thermalright Burst Assassin 120SE
Asus Prime B450M-A2
6600xt xfx ( 2 fan version )
32GB Corsair rgb pro 3600mhz c18
Adata s20g nvme
3 ssd ( 1tb, 500gb and 240gb )
Corsair CV650 psu ( soon recieving be quiet straight power 1kw )

With slight oc with ryzen master i am achieving 4.4ghz boost, in warzone temps didnt go past 67C.

Thanks !

What makes you think that you will fry your board? The 5600 is a low power chip.

I would personally call this a waste of money upgrade. Use that 127 Euro on other components.

i asked this very question a few months ago, i was on a B450 Tomahawk Max with a 5700x , i was asking if was worth it, for PCI-4 support ( b450 is gen 3) for GPU and NVME etc

to cut a long story short , no its not worth it, u wont really see any diff over what u have, so I waited a couple months and went for a platform upgrade to AM5 , Motherboard,CPU and Ram

I would only do that if the board is giving gremlins.

Save the money and if the 5700x3d is supported then just get that. x3D chips barely pull power and will be fine.

This would be my advice as well. Sell the 5600 put the funds from that + motherboard budget together with that and get the 5700X3D.

User can always add active cooling to the VRMs if they get toasty

My mobo has a heatsink on VRM but that heatsink is very small lol. This is the mobo I have: https://www.asus.com/us/motherboards-components/motherboards/prime/prime-b450m-a-ii/
So ya’ll sayin just squeze every last bit of power from what I have and skip on mobo upgrade and rather upgrade CPU/GPU instead?
as far as I understand pcie 4.0 is not worth and not a huge difference irl?

thanks, I’ll probably skip on mobo upgrade lol.
