GTX 1070, CPU Pair?

[Randy Marsh]

What CPU pair would be great for GTX 1070 without bottlenecking?

[r.linder]

Ryzen 5 1600 AF, Ryzen 3 3100, Ryzen 3 3300X, Ryzen 5 3600, Intel i5-9400F, i5-9600K/KF would all be good choices (but lean towards Ryzen)

Depends on the game, a 2700x starts bottlenecking a lower 1660s in GR:B.

You really have to be sceptical of off the cuff blanket answers and look into the type of games you're interested in.

Tbh get a 3700x if you don't want to have to replace that down the not so distant future.

Some games now have began saturating 6 core CPUs so do your research.

depends on the game, res, refresh rate ect..

1080p 144hz will need a faster cpu
4k+ 60hz will need a faster gpu

Better stock up on some serious cooling fans because that will generate alot of heat. Try to keep your PC rig in a well venilated room.

1070 is about 150w
kinda demanding, but most have 2-3 fans

Mine only fires up to 62c ish I've never seen it near 70c not even in summer, at only 150w they run cool as they should.

Maybe you're mixing up the gtx1070ti, 1080 and 1080ti sucking up 180w+

I mostly play Esports Titles at 1440p 144hz.

Modern titles would nice, at least 60 to 90 fps on Max settings. I can lower down to Medium settings If I have too.

Is the i3 9100f a good pair? 80$, doesnt seem that bad? Is their a Ryzen CPU that VS the i3 9100f?

Ryzen 5 1600 (12nm AF SKU) is a better buy, very similar performance at around the same price but you get 6 cores and 12 threads instead of 4 cores and 4 threads.

Or, if you wait, the Ryzen 3 3100 (4 cores and 8 threads) will be out sometime for 99$. Why you should care is because the 3100 and 3300X can actually overclock unlike other Ryzen CPUs because how AMD designed those 2 chips, so an overclocked 3100 absolutely destroys the 9100F.

When are 3100 and 3300x coming out?

i think ryzen 5 3600x is the best

When are 3100 and 3300x coming out?

It's supposed to be within the next few weeks. They release alongside the B550 chipset motherboards.

Can older Ryzen MOBO work with a Flash Bio Drive to run a 3300x CPU?

Since the i3 9100f is a LGA 1151, does that mean any LGA 1151 MOBO would work? Or is it not work on older MOBO?

Yes, 300/400 series should work after a BIOS update specifically for those CPUs. They haven't been patched in yet but will be as soon as those CPUs release.

9100F requires a chipset compatible with 9th gen; B365, H370, Z390 (Boards working with 8th gen like b360, h310, z370 will work after a BIOS update)

AMD: Able to use any MOBO

Intel: MOBO are Limited to a Generation?

If so, AMD sounds better.

It's not that simple. AMD is limited like Intel, but it's a fair bit more lenient.
A320, B350/450/550, and X370/470/570 all support Ryzen 1000, 2000, and 3000, but only B550 and X570 will support the upcoming Ryzen 4000 CPUs.

However, the only chipsets worth buying are B450 (if you don't care about Ryzen 4000 compatibility), B550, and X570.
