Just got the rest of my upgrade parts. Everything is prepped and waiting to be installed. Wish me luck lol. If I'm lucky this should only take about 1 hour. If I'm unlucky I'll see you all tomorrow.

 

AMD Ryzen 7 3700x with Wraith Prism LED Cooler

MSI X470 Gaming Plus MAX motherboard (Supposed to be fully 3rd gen Ryzen compatible rite out of the box and support for up to DDR4 4000 but we'll see)

G-Skill Trident Z Neo RGB DDR4 3600 2 x 8gb kit

 

I'm going to use the stock cooler until I get the adapter for my Corsair AIO cooler. Reusing my 650w Corsair power supply, RX 480 video card and both of my SSD drives. I will be upgrading to a PCIE M.2 SSD and a larger video card when I can afford them.

I've been running an AMD FX 8320 currently overclocked to 4.7ghz on a Asus Sabertooth 990FX R2 motherboard and 16gb of DDR3 1600 for 7 years now. Nothing wrong with it so it will probably install in a spare case that I have and sell it to help fund some other parts.

 

New shit. Forgot to vacuum the carpet in the spare bedroom. lol

I'm BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACK!

Got her up and running. 8 cores 16 threads and boosting to 4.3ghz across all cores with the stock cooler.

 

Windows activation is giving me the finger. I'll "fix" that in a bit. Shes sooooooooooooo much faster than my old setup.

If you think it’s fast now, wait until you get that NVMe2 M.2 drive.

My Cinebench R15 and R20 render scores are over 3x higher that it was with my old rig. That's absolutely nuts and I haven't overclocked this thing yet. I do have to say though, Even though the addressable RGB fan on the cooler looks cool as shit, the noise is driving me nuts already. Can't wait to put the AIO cooler on this thing.

Wow my CPU-Z Benchmark for a stock AMD Ryzen 3700x is actually higher than a stock i9 9900k. The $600+ i9 9900KF (that Just Barely beats my chip) is a 5ghz capable "all core" boost chip where the regular i9 9900k will only boost to 5ghz on a couple cores at the same time.

The i9 9900k just barely beats me in single threaded performance but I absolutely smoke it in Multi threaded performance. Most games rely heavily on single core performance, that is why the Intel chips are still slightly better for gaming. But the cost VS performance difference is sorta a no brainer to go with the 3rd gen Ryzen chips.

Can't wait to get the AM4 retention plate for my cooler so I can overclock this puppy a bit.
