Help me check if there are USB-C ports

If I have a am4 now, if I want to change to am5 is it must change motherboard, cpu, ram only. Other components (e.g. gpu, psu, disk, case ) all can reuse?

Yes, you can reuse everything else.


As for AMD vs. Intel... it doesn't really matter. Just pick one or the other.

"There's no point in an AM4 build anymore."

Why do you say this?
AM4 is cheaper, motherboard, CPU, ram are cheaper.

AM5 is new generation.
Everything is much faster on AM5 gen than on AM4 gen (CPU, Memory, M.2 SSD etc)

Intel change the CPU socket almost every year. This makes CPU+MB a mach hard to find on the following years.
AMD keeps the socket for may generations, making it easier and cheaper to upgrade

My understanding is most people change newer CPU to cope with newer games.

Does changing from AM4 to AM5 affect doing these stuff: surf internet load webpages fast without lag, open many browser tabs, youtube, zoom, microsoft office, open many excel/word files, backup duration, speed of opening/closing files/software/folders, power on for 365 days continuously without switching off (I have scheduled auto backup during I am sleeping)

Yes, it does. It also gives you things like front and back USB-C.

My x570 chipset motherboard has rear USB-C, but none for the front.
And that's an almost $400 work station motherboard.

Building a "new" AM4 socket computer is almost as bad as building an AM3 socket computer.


I have a Samsung Galaxy A54 5G smart phone.
It uses a USB-C to USB-C, charging/data cable. My motherboard has a USB-C in the rear, only.

So... I bought a 10 foot USB-C to USB-C cable.
My case is from 2008, and doesn't even have USB3.0 on the front, but has USB 3.1 and 3.2 on the back.
Again... for times when I need those ports... I just get a longer cable, or plug things into the back.

Depends on the budget. Going am5 now is expensive.

Having am4 now can use ryzen 5 cpu which is pretty good. Then after 2 or 3 years will be cheaper to get am5.

I broke a motherboard myself, long ago.
Otherwise, I've never had a motherboard die, either.

My build right before this one... ran for 9 years. If I put it back together, it would still be working.
I have an even older build from circa 2004 or 2005... that's still working.

What is the motherboard brand that you broke?

What are the motherboard brands that did not die?

I only buy ASUS boards. If ASUS goes out of business... then Gigabyte boards.

I didn't say the motherboard broke, I said IIIIIIIIIII broke the motherboard.
