Calling all-knowing Xiaohongshu to the rescue! I’m suddenly itching to upgrade from my trusty 9700X to the powerhouse 9800X3D, and guess what? My motherboard has already arrived on my doorstep. But here’s the question burning in my mind: will using the B850 motherboard hinder me from unleashing the full potential of the 9800X3D?
While we’re at it, I’m also planning a graphics card overhaul—perhaps stepping up to a 5080 (or even considering the rumored 5080s/5080ti that might hit the market in the future). With these upgrades in mind, would a 1000W power supply be enough to keep everything running smoothly and efficiently?
For reference, here’s what I’m working with:
– Motherboard: TUF B850-PLUS WIFI
– Power Supply: TUF 1000W Gold
What do you think?
