This is my issue. I grabbed the MSI MAG x570 on sale a couple weeks ago not realizing how difficult it would be to get a 5600x. To sell the x570 and try and grab a decent board would end up costing me more I would assumemellowsingh wrote: ↑ A comparable alternative to Ryzen 5 3600x. If only I had the z490 motherboard instead of B550. A good deal for $250.
No, it's 11th gen leaked there, this is 10th gen.FrankDracman wrote: ↑ Is this i5-10600 model similar to the i5-10400 model mentioned in this story:

Same. I got the ASUS TUF B550 on sale. Now waiting for 3700x or 5600x to go on sale. Keep an eye on bhphotovideo for 5600x. They have it for $299 USD (taxes and duties extra). Still a little above my budget though.
Thanks. I mean is this 10th GEN similar to the 10th GEN mentioned in this story.thatsnasty wrote: ↑ No, it's 11th gen leaked there, this is 10th gen.
All 10th gens chips are the same in terms of IPC speed, but for $250, this competes with a 3600 or 3600x, and does it with onboard graphics and the ability to overclock massively.
I refresh that page about 200 times a day haha. I am into gaming, but also video editing and music production so I know I would do better with a 5900x but it's just too expensive, and the 5600x seems to be a good middle ground.mellowsingh wrote: ↑ Same.

Intel claims 19% IPC increase from 10th to 11th gen, meaning it should be 19% faster at the same clock speeds. If that's true it would also be similar to AMD's Zen2 to Zen3 increase, which is pretty massive.FrankDracman wrote: ↑ Thanks. I mean is this 10th GEN similar to the 10th GEN mentioned in this story.
Cause if it is, the upgrade to the 11th GEN is substantial enough to maybe cause pause?
What are the odds. I'm into photo and video editing, and some light gaming. I think either 3700x or 5800x is a sweet spot for me. I also need to get a 3070 / 3080. I am tired of the scalper frenzy.
Nope. The stock cooler is a joke. I had the Dell Precision 3440 i5. Sold it. Solid device though!orditeck wrote: ↑Anyone that bought the Dell Precision Workstation 3440 could tell me if that'd be an easy replacement for the i3-10100?
I'm using the 3440 as a small server for Blue Iris and Plex, I could use the extra CPU because why not, but I also know that Dell uses proprietary parts.
But I guess it'd be just like replacing any CPU. Would the stock Dell cooler be enough?
Edit: Typical TPD 65w vs 125w.... I think the stock cooler wouldn't be enough lol
GREAT info here!!!!!!!! Thanks!!!thatsnasty wrote: ↑ Intel claims 19% IPC increase from 10th to 11th gen, meaning it should be 19% faster at the same clock speeds. If that's true it would also be similar to AMD's Zen2 to Zen3 increase, which is pretty massive.
Is that worth waiting? Not sure, but you can wait forever for anything.
The good news is Z490 motherboards are supposed to support 11th gen, so you can spend a bit more on one, and change the chip later.
For anyone jumping on the Z490 bandwagon, this spreadsheet shows the VRM quality and temperatures.

It's not as much of an issue for a 10600k, being it draws like half the power of the 10850k/10900k, but people were having the motherboards throttle the clock speeds, some even allowing next to 0 overclocking.
I'd recommend a B tier Asus Prime or Gigabyte Gaming X. They used to go on sale Under $200 but might be a bit harder to find now.
If you live near a CC or ME you can try to place a backorder at a retail location
I just finished building with the 3700X/ Tuf B550M wifi bundle for $568 I got a couple of weeks ago at Canada Computers. I was tempted by the savings but did wonder if I should of went with the X570 Tomahawk instead (there would be a $130-140 price difference)mellowsingh wrote: ↑ Same. I got the ASUS TUF B550 on sale.
