Why an Am4 non 3d cpu with a 5080? I think even at 4k you may be cpu limited

sleek lantern Mar 16, 2026, 5:55 PM

#

Depends on what AM4 CPU

5900XT @sleek lantern @celest dawn

#

And because i have 64GB ram already and to convert to am5 would be too expensive ram wise

sleek lantern Mar 16, 2026, 7:40 PM

#

Ah fair

#

How much did it cost you overall?

I guess but I would had though Raptor lake i7 or i9 would probably been a better choice sense it's def faster and has support for ddr4

sleek lantern Mar 16, 2026, 7:43 PM

#

Which i7?

#

I use a i5 12600KF

Raptor lake, so the 13th and 14th gen

sleek lantern Mar 16, 2026, 8:09 PM

#

Ah ok so which 13th Gen?

#

What about an i5 13600K?

Talk about barely fitting

I already had an am4 build

celest dawn Raptor lake, so the 13th and 14th gen

Plus 13th and 14th gen suffers from fried cpu chips

You are right.My 14700KF is frying itself so badly🔥

Yikes

twilit tide Mar 16, 2026, 8:59 PM

#

They have a higher rate of failure vs am5 and previous gen intel chips

#

Im not saying ALL of them, but there is a higher rate

rain spire Mar 16, 2026, 9:01 PM

The settings from intel (Deffault) suck ass ,even after the microcode update.Have to tweak em yourself otherwhise they use too much uneccessary power.Amd settings out of the box are better.After tweaking it runs perfectly cool on full performance.

I had a 90° one for the 16 pin, but doesnt fit the 5080

I wouldn't trust any adapters for the 12vhpwr

I want to save up for a 5080 Aorus Master in White 😭

#

I might buy a 14700KF if possible

any 5080 is good. just avoid the model of my gpu if possible the msi shadow, or mai ventus. they use cheap chokes/capacitors

sleek lantern Mar 18, 2026, 6:48 PM

#

Ok thanks, might get the Aorus master if possible

Mines the aorus master ice

Mines a quad 8pin that plus directly into the power supply and then the 16 pin that goes into the video card. Its not an extension

#

Power supply came with a dual 8 pin to 16 pin

I would align the cables with the combs.White cables are good.
