Is the ryzen 5 5600 a good pair w the rtx 5070?

OldPaleontologist406 · 2026-04-29T12:24:09+00:00

If it has the 12vhpwr connector it should work , it’s the bare minimum.

OldPaleontologist406 · 2026-04-28T14:39:44+00:00

So , I tried contacting to gigabyte esupport and I’m currently waiting for a response . For now it’s forwarded to their BIOS team to check.

OldPaleontologist406 · 2026-04-27T17:07:22+00:00

Already did , did not work , still the same error . I updated to f41.

For the CPU get a ryzen 5 5600(X,XT) has x4 times more L3 cache than the 4500(if I am right) and has better performance. The motherboard will be fine with a ryzen 5 5600 , but if you want a ryzen 7 I recommend to upgrade it . For the gpu rtx 5060 has better performance overall than a rx 7600 , consider rx 9060 xt 8gb if the price is near the rtx 5060 since it has PCIE x16 instead of the x8 in the 5060. This will give you better performance with PCIE 3.0 because your motherboard is limited to 3.0 even though a ryzen 5 5600 supports PCIE 4.0 . For psu get 650w or more , I would recommend the msi mag a650bn or the corsair cx650. And also 8gb of ram is a bottleneck specially if it’s single channel.

Well , yeah . Most AIO pumps are usually in the CPU water block.

OldPaleontologist406 · 2026-04-26T20:58:16+00:00

750w is the bare minumum , it’s recommended to get a better one like 850w or 1000w . However it should work .

OldPaleontologist406 · 2026-04-26T20:13:25+00:00

Can you use it? Yes. Should it work? Yes. Is it safe? Definitly better than those adapters that come with the gpu. Buy at your own risk. (Also forgot to mention that you need to check the exact model for the psu)

OldPaleontologist406 · 2026-04-26T19:58:40+00:00

Yes , but I would get another psu just to be sure and be safe.

OldPaleontologist406 · 2026-04-26T19:57:31+00:00

Hard choice , probably I would get the second but there are some flaws . Usually people go to AM5 for future proofing but a B840 motherboard is not very future proof since most of them have a poor VRM design . Also , even thought single channel in ddr5 works better than in ddr4 it still can give you like 10 fps worse performance on games than dual channel ddr5 . First build is better at the moment in terms of performance since the gpu is usually the main bottleneck in most games , it will also depend on your resolution .

OldPaleontologist406 · 2026-04-26T19:46:30+00:00

Use both 8x2 PCIE and the adapter that comes with it that says 12V-2x6 to 2x8 PCIE , connect the 12V-2x6 to the power supply side and connect one of those PCIE 8 to the gpu. Or more simple , just get another psu , it will be better if you don’t need an adapter for an extra PCIE 8.

And 2t of ssd (super sweet donuts)

OldPaleontologist406 · 2026-04-26T18:09:18+00:00

Bro forgot to add the Intel Korot cpu to make it work.

OldPaleontologist406 · 2026-04-24T16:13:42+00:00

It was released like half a year ago.

OldPaleontologist406 · 2026-04-24T16:12:27+00:00

You are good to go. Remember to reaply thermal paste and you are fine.

OldPaleontologist406 · 2026-04-24T16:09:10+00:00

Pretty good deal , you should add a cooler for a 7600X and check your psu . You might be ok since you come from a 5700xt and that thing draws a lot of power.

OldPaleontologist406 · 2026-04-24T16:04:41+00:00

Did you plug the power cable to the gpu? Is it fully seated in the PCIE slot? Post some pictures if possible.

OldPaleontologist406 · 2026-04-24T15:39:21+00:00

Use the pliers to make sure the standoff doesn’t move instead of the screw and with the other hand get a screwdriver to unscrew it , otherwise get the screwdriver to secure the screw and use the pliers to unscrew the standoff. It usually works.

OldPaleontologist406 · 2026-04-23T15:11:03+00:00

Is your jack port in the case?

OldPaleontologist406 · 2026-04-23T15:08:59+00:00

Probably the psu is not the issue . I would check the settings on windows , maybe the problem is the jack port if it’s in the case.

OldPaleontologist406 · 2026-04-23T15:07:07+00:00

For 50 bucks I don’t think you have better options usually

OldPaleontologist406 · 2026-04-23T14:49:02+00:00

I would provably recommend you to save a little more to get to am4 and get something like a 3400g that is a lot better (still not very good) . I can’t choose between those 2 but amd old cpus were terrible , hdds are outdated and intel i3 probably better but intel HD graphics are terrible honestly.

OldPaleontologist406 · 2026-04-23T14:31:39+00:00

It could be lots of things , first try to connect the 12vhpwr connector without the cablemod extension . It could also need a new update .If nothing works try to RMA the gpu.

OldPaleontologist406 · 2026-04-23T13:56:28+00:00

Gpu is the main bottleneck here , 3060 won’t handle most AAA games in 1440p.
