I'm on an x470 board, since 2018. I went from a 2700x, 3700x, 5800x, then sold my 5800x to my friend and bought a 5950x which I'm using now . It's amazing how long we can keep upgrading on the same board for so many years. PCIE 4.0 is not needed yet for gaming, it will be once DirectStorage will be available in future games. The only game so far will be Forspoken, but that is way off it's coming in Oct. Even so I don't think it will be much of a difference between PCIE 3.0 and 4.0 drives when it comes to load times maybe a few secs. And DDR5 well that's also not needed just yet, even though benchmarks show in some games DDR5 to have more FPS but not by a lot. So we are still good for a few more years

I thought of stuffing a Ryzen 9 into my ASRock Taichi X370, but the cost to replace the motherboard was exorbitant. It made sense to swap out the motherboard for better RAM support and fewer potential issues.
> Old system: Ryzen 7 1700x, 16GB 3000 Mhz RAM, X370 motherboard
> New system: Ryzen 9 5900X, 32GB 3600 Mhz RAM, x570 motherboard
The old CPU and RAM were put into a spare x350 motherboard for a computer that I gave to a friend's daughter. I also had a spare Asus 1060 6GB video card, so she ended up with a pretty damn good starter PC.
My new system is quite a bit faster than the old PC.

Too little too late in my opinion. As someone who is still on the x370, I wish this would've been allowed when they first said they would allow the AM4 to be upgradeable at the start. Why now? Oh, Intel has got new CPUs and people on the older AM4 motherboards would've moved over including me. I just wish they had said this earlier on. Shame on AMD's part. I'm using the Gaming K7
Is Brad still on the X370 motherboard as I know a while ago he himself said he was going to go to the 5000 chips.

Gigabyte gaming K7 5700X listed but not 5800X or 5900X or 5950X.
Asus crosshair vi, nothing.
Fortunately I have both boards and was planning on 5700X, Asus had better just be a bit slow as the crosshair vi can handle a 5950X and they'd better have that bios update sometime in the near future with 5000 series support or they'll never get my money ever again.

That is what I want to do with my 470 board. Have a 2200G (4 cores and threads). For max. effect I will switch to a 5950X. I just wait for the prize to go down a bit more.
But there is the old question when is the right time to buy? I know that you can't answer this question for me. But I can't answer it either :)

Hello! I've noticed you have an AX370-Gaming 5 motherboard. I've bought that motherboard with Ryzen 1600 on launch for that very reason to upgrade the CPU later.
First year was thought with gigabytes bioses so can you please confirm how the 5000 series works on a AX370-Gaming 5 motherboard? Would really appreciate

It's good to see the 300 boards being supported now, I'm glad I have a 400 series board though since that has had support for the 5000 series for over a year. At this point I just wish AMD would allow motherboards to enable PCIe Gen4 on 400 series boards, which was possible at one time, but was taken away.

People going from a 1700x to a 5800x will notice a BIG upgrade in some games. My gaming and desk pc both are B450 motherboards, I notice a solid 20% increase in some games going from a 3600x to a 5600x in my gaming pc.
AMD is only doing this to stop people from going to 12th gen i3's and i5's.

i have a b350 ROG board, i dont see on Asus website if i can go Ryzen 5000. Where can i go to check? Also, is it worth upgrading from a 3300x to a 5600x? Or should i wait for next gen? Btw im very frugal so buying a whole new system is the last thing i want to do. Any feedback would be appreciated.
