Is it compatible? On paper yes it is. All B450 motherboards are or will be working on Ryzen 5000s CPUs. You don't have the motherboard listed so it's hard to check if it has the BIOS update to work with the 5800x. But you won't be taking advantage of ALL the features. B450 boards do not have Gen 4 PCIE, which means the newer graphics cards that are impossible to buy right now, will work but at an optimal capacity, If you're gaming at 1440p or higher you may see a slight bump in FPS and latency will diminish. TL/DR: Yes you can swap it out if the BIOS is updated, and you will see some improvement. But is it worth over $400 to see FPS improvements of maybe 10-12 FPS at most? (AMD claims that this generation is up to 20% better than last gen (3000 series Ryzen and so far that claim is accurate but depends on title.) Hope this helps
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.You need to figure out what model of motherboard you have, update the BIOS first, then put the 5800X in. There is a large boost in FPS, depending on game. Check out Anandtech Bench CPU 2021, compare the 3700X and 5800X. Also, look at Hardware Unboxed / Tech YES City Youtube reviews of the 5800X. If you look at the attached (test bed used a 2080 Ti), from the Anandtech Zen3 Review, FarCry 5 was Zen2's worst case gaming scenario, the game always did better on Intel chips. The 5800X improved the minimum FPS greatly, which is more important than max FPS.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Yes, but only 2-5% about gaming fps. Even 3600x could easily handle RTX 3070.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.You may need to update your BIOS first, but yes, that should work just fine. And whether or not you see an improvement will depend on the game and whether your current cpu is a bottleneck. Will you see an overall improvement? Yes. Will it be drastic? Depends.
