  • I'm going from AMD to Intel i7

  • I'm going from AMD to Intel i9

  • I have AMD and besides now get a new intel build as well

  • I have Intel and besides now getting a Raptor Lake build as well

  • I have Intel and Raptor Lake will be my upgrade or new build

  • Not planning any upgrade and stick with AMD for now

Plan to finally get off Ryzen 1 & 2 series in the next year or two. For what I'm doing with them seen little reason to upgrade. If prices comes down a bit next year might finally bother to change. Still on a 4790k @ 4.6 on my Intel rig and it handles 4k 60fps just fine with 6800xt. Eventually will swap the board and CPU out to something newer.
 
For now, i am staying on Zen 3. Zen 4 and Intel taptor lake is just to hot running what ever it is by desing or not, for not to forget to power hungry. Zen 3 dosent suffer from those problems. So my 5600X and 5950X stay where they are. If anything. I will maybe replace my 5950X for a 5800X3D for better gaming performance. That RTX 4090 needs some serious cpu power to feed it.

I will wait for AMD zen 5 and intels metoer lake in hope for less power and heat. Maybe then i will upgrade.

You can't complain about power usage when you run a RTX 4090 imo... :D

Why can´t i complain about that. I complain about RTX 4090 power consumption as well. Luckely there are this slider called power target;)

And even if i can´t complain about power consumption. I can sure as hell complain about the heat and needed cooling to cool these darn things. As one that don´t want water cooling. It is deffently becoming a concern to me about cpu power consumption and heat output. Also i don´t like hardware working way out of there efficient range. it´s just wasted power and heat for only a few % ekstra performance.

RTX 4090 is actually most efficient at the 50 % to 70 % power target, with out losing much performance. Zen 3 is much more efficient as well. Zen 3 runs so much cooler and swalloes way less power than zen 4 and raptor lake.

That would be HUGE upgrades for you, whatever you do!!...

If your system specs are current that is...

Yes that is what I use now. In December will be it's 10th anniversary.

Boot times are long after a clear CMOS, first boot ever on the system and or changing memory settings and it will take 3-6 minutes to boot. If you go to high on the memory and or 4 DIMMs it may never boot.

Memory overclocking is painfully slow. I've given up for now. I hate waiting minutes to find out my settings aren't good.

I have to admit about 90% of the time the post time doesn't bother me - mine's 30 seconds from power button to post screen. That other 10% though. :shadedshu:

Anytime I want to go into the BIOS for any changes is frustratingly annoying.

I was hoping that now we're three weeks from launch, there might have been an AGESA update to address this, but think that might have been a bit too optimistic.
