Questions about AMD Ryzen 7 5800X

The price quoted by AMD converted into CHF plus 7.7% VAT results in approx. 440.-, plus just what Digitec wants in addition.

A bit late, but to your question, no, it was only available for pre-order from 5.11.

What does Digitec have to do with it? What could they have done differently?

There was a limited stock and unfortunately everything was sold out in a matter of seconds. So now we have to wait for the next restocking which apparently will take place in 3 months.

Beginning of Dec D: Payment by invoice and thus probably a tad faster than most with KK etc.*g*.

Yes, exactly the same with the 5950x. Probably another real Papaerlaunch.....

You could perhaps get a 5600x provisionally and activate the code that way. Or use the PC of a colleague who already has a Ryzen 5000 or 3800XT/3900XT to redeem the code. Or write to AMD support and show them the Digotec code + proof of purchase as proof. I did something like that once. AMD was very quick and helpful. So I unlocked the game code directly without having to use the PVT tool.

5600x = 18 pieces were in stock at Digitec Galaxus!

...later.

I suspect it already. But what I have seen: the Ryzen 9 5950x and the Ryzen 5 5600x have also gone up massively...

Um.... It says so on the page you linked: Supports AMD Ryzen™ 5000 series Supports AMD Ryzen™ 5000 series So, yes.

With a good cooling system, the processor should keep a good average temperature and if you want to modify your components, you can download msi afterburner and then you can watch tutorials on YouTube. I'm not in the business, so checked with a computer guy. What kind of fan do you have?

According to our information, you should receive an e-mail. :)

Nasty, the whole thing.

Indeed, the orders started at 3pm and were sold out in a few seconds as the stock was unfortunately very limited.

Mine says mid-December. May be a placeholder based on estimated delivery.

Ah, you also have a mainboard from MSI. Yes, I did it, but on another MSI mainboard, also with an x570 chipset (Tomahawk Wifi). Of course, I can't judge whether it worked yet, because I would have to have installed the other components. But from a purely procedural point of view, the USB stick flashed during "Bios flash" and stopped flashing after a few minutes. In my case, it was the USB 2.0 port (2.0=black, 3.0=blue) right next to the "Bios-Flash" button that I could use. Requirement: 01) Download the MSI-Uefi Bios update & save it to the stick (directly to root, e.g. D:\ ) and rename it to MSI.ROM (about 32 Mega er Mebibytes size). 02) Connect the power supply to the mainboard (built into the case) as described in the manual. 03) Connect the USB stick with the new Bios to the correct port. 04) press flash button (with a pencil...) 05) wait until it stops flashing (maximum 5 min)

The Ryzen 7 5800X is a 5th generation processor and requires a motherboard that supports this generation. However, the TUF B450-Plus Gaming only supports up to the 3rd generation of Ryzen processors. Therefore, it is not directly compatible with the Ryzen 7 5800X. However, it may be possible to extend compatibility through a BIOS update if the board has been updated accordingly by ASUS. You should check the official ASUS website for the latest BIOS updates and compatibility information.

I don't think there is one. But I don't know anymore. Sorry

Yes, that's easily enough. I myself cool my 5800X with a Noctua NH-D15, which also stays nice and cool in most cases. A WaKü will be a little cooler depending on the manufacturer or application.

Yes, it doesn't matter whether the CPU or GPU is from Intel, Nvidia or AMD. You can take a look at https://youtu.be/Lap4zFmB_Mc?t=155 below.

AMD Wraith Prism Cooler with RGB CPU Cooler for AMD Socket AM4

The B2 stepping is the newer stepping. It was introduced in February 2022 and is supposed to offer some improvements over the B0 stepping. The main differences between the two steppings are: Improved current consumption: The B2 stepping is said to have up to 10% lower power consumption. This can lead to longer battery life on mobile devices and also reduce heat generation on desktop PCs. Improved memory support: B2 stepping is said to offer better support for DDR4 memory. This means that higher memory frequencies can run more stably. Improved transfer characteristics: The B2 stepping is said to overclock better than the B0 stepping. This means that higher clock rates are possible and the CPU runs more stably. In practice, however, the differences between the two steppings are not always clearly visible. In some cases, the advantages of B2 stepping can only come into play in extreme transfer attempts or in certain applications with high memory requirements. For normal users, B2 stepping is therefore not absolutely necessary. However, anyone buying a new AMD Ryzen 7 CPU should opt for a model with B2 stepping if possible. So if you are buying an AMD Ryzen 7 processor, you should look for a model with the B2 stepping if possible. This will give you the best performance results and stability.

My 5800x (bought 09/22) shows in cpuz Stepping 2 and revision VMR-B2

You can't answer that in general terms. I am still satisfied with the CPU. But if I were to build a new system, I would take a 7th generation AMD CPU, because the socket has changed. With this CPU, you are basically building an old system with socket AM4... But ultimately it also depends on your budget and requirements...

it says in the text that no fan is included....
