Upgrade help pls
I current run a i7 9700 non K
32gig ddr4
Amd 7800xt
On a custom predator acer mobo
With 750w power supply

Now i get close to the end of my cpu, do u have any recomendet updates for mobo with cpu and ram?

I looked a few times on a ryzen 5 9600x bundle, i gues its close to the best Option to handly my GPU and i would have am5 socket for later.

Do u have some other recomendet cpu?

I gues i can spend about 400 euro.
Is there something out incl RAM for this little Money?

there doesnt seem to be much of a difference between 9600X and the older 7600X
you should just get the cheaper one

thank u, i gues for small budget this is the best choise, no?
But is it worth the upgrade from i7 9700? will i notice?

acer may have a standard atx board

i7 9700 is a capable cpu if not held back by the board and cooling

post a cpuz validation link
http://www.cpuid.com/softwares/cpu-z.html
cpuz -> validate button -> submit button
it will open a browser, copy the url (address) and paste it here

and take a pic of the mobo if you can

the mobo i have now is costum but it fits on atx, regardless of this it can handle i9 9900k and thats not worth the upgrade, so i need a new mobo

to be clear, i allrdy transfer the mobo into a new case so i have no issue with space
any way

if I remember correctly the i7 9700K is slower than Ryzen 5600X
probably not by a lot but the Ryzen 5 7600x should be significantly faster than i7

the LGA 1151 is a long dead platform while AM5 is still quite new and AMD will keep releasing new CPUs for quite a few more years

A bit of a pickle, but considering you need a new board I would strongly recommend you stretch the budget (if possible) to include RAM.
I recently upgraded my PC but ended up staying within AM4 to keep the board (board + RAM would have been another 300 or something).
I ended up getting a ryzen 7 5700x and I'm very happy with it.
If you can handle staying without a PC for some time, maybe consider selling you current rig as is (get a cheapo GPU, maybe) and rethink you future approach.
That being said, It's not a big issue if you stay in AM4, but it is at the end of the line.

Went looking at possible CPU only upgrades.. I don't think the price is worth it. It's cheaper to get board+new AMD CPU

XMP is disabled.

Have you evaluated that your system is CPU-constrained in the (most demanding) games you play? Regarding that the validation link lists an ultrawide.
If mostly GPU-bound, a CPU upgrade does not offer much of a performance uplift in average FPS.

I dont know what u mean with xmp is disabled, sorry

I goggle it and i know i have some tricky bios on this costum board. I can set close to nothing on it, i noticed when intried ti set fan curve... That there is nothing...

hello

do you think that people posting here have tested all possible differents configs for real or even yours and so are able to provide you the best advice -- none ?
funny ...
but be sure, a new cpu gen is probably better than older one ...

No i dont think, but there are people out there that kniw much more then i and look at my post and say... Yeah he has i7 and want 9600x that a good upgrade... Or like hell na that like 2fps...

sadly saying that is not anought imo :
-you need the same constructor,the same stuff, and use the same os level and firmware on card ..
and then you can really compare stuff, else , imo , it worth nothing because you are not able to compare the same thing ...

so you can only say ;
- it should be like that , even using the same generic stuff ... ( eg : a 5090 from any manufacturer, or the same generic memory from different manufacturer , same kind of ssd from different manufacturer . etc ... and the list is a no end imo ... )

and none have the same capacity, feature , performance and efficiency ...else we just need one manufacturer for all this ♥♥♥♥

So, you've changed the RAM sticks at some point.
I'm mistaken. I just had to check up the b360 chipset on your motherboard and it does not offer RAM overclocking. Anyhow.

Use a hardware monitoring tool and look up if your system is indeed CPU-constrained.

There are plenty of tutorial on how-to setup such a hardware monitoring tool. Search on youtube for 'msi afterburner on screen display'.

Check the GPU utilization value. If it's sitting at 99% during gameplay, you're GPU-bound. If that value drops significantly, your system is CPU-bound.

Ok thx.

So i did this onnthe amd tool, look link.

I gues i need to upgrade all not only cpu?

To go with the 7000 or 9000 serites ryzen you need to buy DDR5 ram and discard what you have. Instead you can consider an AM4 mobo with something from the 5000 series, maybe with x3d.

IIRC 2 years ago 5800x3d had similar effective performance as 7600x, for most games at reasonable res and detail probably even a 5600x is well enough and is cost effective. But I didn't looka t prices and availability lately, do the research on bang/buck from what is actually on offer.
