That says a lot about AMDs design and engineering to have one of their most.advanced CPUs running stably on an older motherboard from a First gen am4 socket.Got an Asus 4070 Super DUAL version incoming for the Kiddo.
Will be interesting to see how it does on his 5800x3d with DDR4-3600 RAM in an MSI B350 Tomahawk which has been upgraded in place since his Ryzen 5 1600x.

Techreport? those guys still alive? ooh techspot, that makes more sense.Yep.
As long as you don't need Gen4 PCIe (which for gaming, you really don't) the MSI B350 Tomahawk is a real trooper.
In an era of increasingly expensive motherboards, it was $130 when new (I believe, I think that is what I paid for it) and it has just continued to kick ***. Very happy with that motherboard.
MSI technically lists the BIOS required in order to run the X3D chips as a perpetual beta BIOS, but in my stress testing it has been rock solid.
This Techreport writeup is what gave me the confidence to go-ahead and give it a try:.
While motherboards usually don't have a huge impact on performance, it is interesting to see that the old B350 Tomahawk is often among the better performers in their test, even better than the actual X570 in many cases.

That was just a brain fart, but apparently Techreport is still around, but they were sold in 2019 and topics covered are very different now.Techreport? those guys still alive? ooh techspot, that makes more sense.
