The 5600X using the Wraith Stealth air cooler peaks at 95°C during a full load multi-threaded stress test according to https://www.tomshardwar

Better to just update the system you have already probably.
Check for Bios update to see if your board supports the 5000series. If so get a 5800x, 5600x, or even a 5800x3D.
I have a B450 board so just upgraded the CPU to a 5600x from MC. That should hold me for a few years.
GPU is older so waiting till the next Gen comes out in hopes it pushs down the current gen later this year.
Plus I really needed thunderbolt 4. Like really bad. That was my only concern really.
LGA 1200 = 10th & 11th Gen = 4xx and 5xx
LGA 1151 = 8th & 9th Gen = 3xx
and so on.
Intel call the CPU platform upgrades as Tik and Tok. Tik is a new process and tok is the refinement
For the record while AM4 has been around along time --using and older chipset motherboard does not allow all the features of a new processor.
Does any of your software complain about needing a new license due to the new CPU? Windows used to complain.
isn't the 5600x $5 less than this with new customer coupon at microcenter?

Just keep the same mobo and add whatever parts you want, reload the OS all you want...pretty nice really
Motherboards really aren't that far apart for each platform these days. Intel has some very good b660 boards that aren't very expensive
For anybody wondering, when I've looked at comparisons, a 5600x and b550 is similar in price to a 12400f and b660. Of course prices can very from retailers and even over time.
By all means, pick whichever you'd like. I personally went 12th gen intel recently myself after having, tl;dr, ftpm issues and/or a dying cpu bring a once competent ryzen 3700x to its knees so badly that a $300 Xbox Series S is outperforming it. I watched with my own eyes someone stream Fortnite for hours yesterday at 120fps constantly on the Series S, yet my much more expensive pc stutters and lags in games of all ages. That's doing weeks/months of depressing troubleshooting and extensive testing into a short version that doesn't do it any justice lol.
I've used them both over the years, no bias, have even used ryzen exclusively for years now... the simple facts are 12th gen intel isn't affected by this ftpm crap that still affected a bunch of us even after the vender fix in May after AMD acknowledged the problem in ~March. Peace of mind can be priceless, and, I'm done with tech issues and am throwing in the towel on this ryzen build. I went ddr4 mobo on purpose due to not being sold on ddr5 considering its price, and purposefully chose a cpu with E cores to avoid being required to use win11, I'm holding out years on that after hearing loads of horror stories and not even wanting to deal with that headache. After awhile, tech and hardware issues really take a roll on your morale.
that rx6600 is a good deal posted as well, a discount code, rebate code, AND three new games. Great deal, on par with the rtx 2060 super. Pretty good for gaming.

I hear you. I currently own Z97 build containing a i7-4770K+1070, but I have since repurposed that PC and upgraded to a R7-5800X+1080Ti. After a while, I started to realize that having only 4-cores can be limiting and a bottleneck for CPU intensive tasks like converting different video formats. Guess you must be waiting for the right time to upgrade.
