A good upgrade if you are on an older AM4 CPU and don't want to change platforms. Still a very capable setup for most people.

I wouldn't mind upgrading just for the heck of it, but I think I'll target a 9000 series CPU with 800 series chipset and DDR5, just to get the generational benefits of memory, USB 4, PCIe 5, etc.
Of course I'd also want a new graphics card, and that's where I give up.

You pushed me over the edge to buy it : )
Oh, and, since I'm using these on servers, what kind of graphics card (preferably without a fan) should I get?
You know high end ddr4 sticks will outperform low to mid ddr5
I upgraded from a 5900x to a 9900x (business/tax write-off). I wouldn't recommend that upgrade to most. AM4 is much more stable than the AM5 stuff. It's impressive tech, but it's also much more a mess of tech nuances. I was having BSODs for weeks until finally a new Bluetooth/Wi-Fi driver, of all things, was released. I lucked out with memory (really good timings on 2x32GB), but I hear a lot of people have issues there, as well. And don't get me started on how terrible BIOS stability was a few months ago!
I have a stable system now, but even so, it's not wildly faster than my 5900x box is, which is still pulling its weight.
