Again but better book review5/22/2023 ![]() We’re not looking at apples to apples like the last time since I have a new motherboard and RAM, but everything else is the same. Assuming I get what I’m asking for with the original components, I’m looking at a net loss of $350. I probably could have gone a little cheaper, but I was going for aesthetics too. So what I ended up getting with this upgrade was the CPU itself (of course), an NZXT N7 B650 motherboard, and 32GB of G.Skill Trident DDR5 6000 ram. Ugh!! So there was an extra expense that I wasn’t prepared for. I realized that it would mean getting a new motherboard too, but I did a little research and found that I could still get a decent amount for my current CPU and motherboard on Facebook marketplace.īut what I didn’t consider – and I found out the hard way – was that these new Ryzen motherboards all require DDR5 ram. ![]() ![]() Considering I now have an RTX 4090 in my desktop rig, surely I’d see these benefits. And all the early reviews showed a significant improvement even over the Ryzen 7 5800x3d that I had. Needless to say, with the recent release of the AMD Ryzen 7 7800x3d, they certainly had my attention. ![]()
