I'm running an AM4 Ryzen 9, with 64Gb of DDR4, and the thing cooks. AM4 is just great.

    I've been happily sitting on my R5 2600x for so many years now lol. My MB is an MSI B450 Pro Carbon and it can easily handle a 5950x or 5800x3D or whatever.

    Add another 2x8 gb ddr4 for 32GB total and I'll be seeing some insane performance relative to what I'm already happy with, which will last me another 5 years easily unless the mobo dies.

    It's really insane how well designed AM4 is.

    3 of my 4 desktops are running AM4. My main rig has a 5950x, the home theater PC has a 5500 and my wife's gaming rig has a 5600. I rebuilt the HTPC several months ago and specifically went with AM4 for price to performance (and because it's a Linux box)
