Guys, I have a MSI B450M Mortar motherboard, how crazy can I go CPU wise? Is there any real, quantifiable reason I can’t put a 5950X in it?

Go as crazy as you want, just update the BIOS to the latest version for the 5000 series.

The B450M Mortar has a very decent vrm design that should have no issue with a 5950x.

I don't know what cpu & cooler you currently have but you might require a new cooler for the 5950x, just something to keep in mind.

Fantastic, thank you.
 
In past years have there been any good BF PC parts specials, like CPU/GPU/SSD/RAM etc?
I need a complete new tower and I may as well plan to buy on BF if there's going to be good deals going.

Do any of them have decent parts prices on BF itself or is it just general deals during the lead up?
 
Freaking hell, so took a chance with a cooler on Takealot, they state it's 12cm cooler. Checked reviews and there were pretty good ones for this chinese brand called Snowman :-). So thought I'd give it a try, turns out it's not 12cm but rather 92mm.
 
  • Wow
Reactions: Yuu
Freaking on further inspection it's not even RGB, the LEDs get power from the fourth pin.
