This looks to be the cheapest price in Australia for these new Ryzen AM5 CPUs thanks to the coupon from eBay. A good time to buy if you're looking to upgrade now.

No HODL because early adopter taxes have been a thing on new CPUs/mobos/dram since forever, although a lot of people don't seem to know about it. It was a totally different situation with the massively overproduced GPU market propped up by ETH mining.
But we're heading into summer, I'll need to store them 25' under the house in a pit to keep the poor things cool.
What we need is Arctic fans to go on sale again. I prefer them over Noctua.
Hold! :D
Ryzen 7 7700X $649
:-/ Fps king of this generation is too frigging expensive 🤷♂️
It will surely fall. Its happened in the past.
Yeah sometimes overconfidence and greed does that to the top dogs!
did a quick 'add to cart' last night of the componets to upgrade… came down to $3k for cpu, cooler, mobo, ram, psu. May hold off a bit more, availability of mobo and ram is still pretty scarce.
Which liquid cooling is right for the 7950x?
It's hitting 95 degrees with custom loop it's the "new normal". You can under volt and get near the same performance.
Actually, it is funny this time. You dont need to under volt. With MSI MB and MSI 360 Liquid Cool. You just need to go to MB and set Temp Limitation to 85 degrees, giving you 1% more performance increase.
In the 65-degree setting, you will lose 4% performance vs Auto and get 150W+ power consumption.Reference i can't find the link now. It comes from MSI AMD AM5 Infokit 20220923.
It's designed to hit 95c without throttling. A decent 360 AIO like the Arctic will do it fine You also don't need to undervolt. AMD Ryzen Master has had Eco mode feature since Ryzen 3000 series. You can set it to 105w or 65w and will update bios. Based on reviews that tested eco mode their is a negligible difference in gaming. Some games actually increase FPS.

Or 20 degrees less if you are willing to de-lid.
Someone on Reddit tested the 7950x with air and AIO coolers.
https://www.reddit.com/r/Amd/comments/xqsa2j/95c_ryzen_7000_…
'So, overall. while the chips say they run at 95, some of them have a clear happy place. while cpus like the 7600X seems fairly happy on ANYTHING on it.
The 7700x is happy with anything with 4 pipes and a 120mm fan, so hyper 212 fans rejoyce.
Both the 7900x and 7950x are happy with any proper large tower cooler or good aio."
Can’t believe they would skip 6900x…smh
They better not skip the 8 series. 80085x.
Just think how many 6969XXX CPUs they would have sold!!
Everyone bought their pc during lock down. Not sure how AMD will go with selling these out. There’s so much stock everywhere.
These or a Pentium G series intel. Dual core. Hmm
A good time to buy if you're looking to upgrade now.
I would argue it just the opposite of that, given that you can buy a truly killer system for the same amount of money as a new AM5 platform PC. Early Adopters always get screwed.
If you were looking to get AM5 right now this is the best deal on the CPUs except for the 7950X. Unless there's now somewhere else cheaper.
should I upgrade?
current setup:
AMD 5600
MSI x570
16g ram
6800xt
850w
500g nvme
gaming at 1440p 34inch
no
Do not upgrade.
yes
Ryzen 9 7950X
AMD screwed the competition up royally. They only matched the 12900K in gaming now the 12900K will hold its price and 13900K will be even more expensive.
13900K will be even more expensive.
according to leaked pricing the 13900k is cheaper than the 7950x. (589 vs 699 usd) unless you want to compare it withe 7900x
What do you mean? It's up for pre order in Oz for $1100 and 12900k is $900. Add GST and Australian retailer tax on a very strong US dollar RIP.
have to wait and see Intel 13th Gen prices in AUD. The USD MSRP is lower for Intel than AMD. GST and retail tax will apply to Intel 13th Gen pricing too.
(ie, no, Intel 13th Gen shouldnt have higher pricing, same or lower.)
Stock everywhere for these, nothing like last time. I would say most upgraders would be holding out for the X3D chips releasing in January. There is really no point messing with this release for gaming when the big cache chips will slam these.
With a budget of $2500, would it be better to build my first PC on 7000 series or 5000 series? I'll be building in January, just wondering if the new chips would be worth it.
If only building in Jan, then it makes sense to wait for reviews for both GPU, CPU, MOBOs to come out in the coming months plus hopefully cheaper DDR5 RAM (Black Friday sale in 2 months).

Especially considering that LGA1700 motherboards are much more affordable and with the option of DDR4 models
