Is it worth switching to AM5 from my current setup?

-

I’m currently using an MSI Pro Z690A with a DDR4 setup and an Intel Core i5-13600K. I’m thinking about making the jump to an AM5 platform. What do you think? If I do switch, what’s the best way to transfer all my data?

Switching to AM5 could be a good move, but it really depends on whether you feel like you need the upgrade. To transfer your data, just remove your SSD from the old motherboard and plug it into the new one. It’s usually pretty straightforward!

Yeah, I think OP’s just feeling that upgrade itch and looking for a reason to switch!

I hear you, but moving the SSD might not cover everything. Have you checked if your current setup is still meeting your needs?
