I'm personally still happy with my Ryzen 3600 I got in 2017. Any upgrade to AM5 will need new RAM, Motherboard and CPU, which will cost alot. I ain't buying new unless it's really compelling.

I moved to the 5700X3D and that was a very worthwhile upgrade from the 3600.

Bro I have a 1600x that’s still going strong in a rack mount chassis. I highly doubt that your bluescreen was a hardware issue that would have made your system unusable forever. You probably just needed to repaste or something. That stuff dries out eventually you know. A 7-8 year old processor is nowhere near the end of its operational lifespan.

Recommending that somebody upgrade their hardware that is currently working fine because your hardware took a dump is the literal definition of anecdotal evidence.

I’m not saying that you did anything wrong by updating, I’m saying that you shouldn’t be implying that your experience “dodging a bullet” means other people have bullets coming at them.

When does it stop btw? How many years old does hardware have to be for you to feel like you need to upgrade when nothings wrong? (Am I misinterpreting what you said? I thought you said you ordered new stuff before your current system threw a bsod.) Why not buy two of everything when you upgrade and just have cold spares lying around?

To be completely fair though, a 3600 is prolly a bit long in the tooth for certain games, if that’s what you do. I mainly play the finals and I’m having to fight the urge to upgrade my 5800x. It’s good enough, but a 5800x3d isn’t enough of an uplift to justify it and the current performance isn’t bad enough to justify the price of an upgrade to a new socket. I feel like if I was still on a 3600 I’d have pulled the trigger on the upgrade already.

Edit - Also that can absolutely be a transient error. It can be related to too high fclk and/or vsoc voltage, etc. But you’ve already replaced the parts so it doesn’t matter.

I think it's the best inbetween. It doesn't cost too much nor too less
