  I think some of you who know me will be disappointed that this review does not have numbers and videos, but I believe that my opinion still matters.

  I purchased the CPU in December '23 because I have developed a fascination with VR, and in a specific game (Enderal VR / Skyrim VR), I was experiencing issues in certain areas with FPS drops from a stable 80 to 40-50. In VR, for those who are not familiar, when the framerate drops below ~70 FPS, it ruins the whole gaming experience and can potentially make you feel dizzy.

  I identified that the issue with the FPS drops was due to the CPU, a 5800X with overclocked 3800MHz CL15 RAM, and I decided to upgrade in hopes of solving the problem. Under normal circumstances, this would be considered a sidegrade, but I got lucky.

  Now, the stuttering has disappeared, and the FPS has increased to 65-75, which provides a significantly better experience and, most importantly, without motion sickness. I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw a 25 FPS improvement.

  Apart from the difference there, I have significantly better 1% low FPS in most of the games I play, especially in strategy/city builders, where I have noticed significant improvements in average FPS as well. Power consumption is about the same because I was running the 5800X with a strong undervolt, but in terms of temperatures, it's somewhat worse with the NH-D15 cooler.

  If someone is on AM4 and looking for an upgrade or cannot afford AM5, this is literally the best choice they have, which will definitely last for years. Personally, I am considering keeping it for at least four years, with the upcoming 4090 replacing the 3080Ti, as it comfortably handles the resolutions I play at.

  Monster processor simply. From ryzen 5 3600X the difference is night/day. Huge fps boost in games, from 20fps up to 60fps just by changing the processor. Ideal for CPU heavy games like Escape from Tarkov, Battlefield, Star Citizen etc etc. Beast simply.

  BEFORE YOU BUY HUB

  Hello everyone,

  I have had this processor since May 2023 and have not encountered any problems so far. I mainly use it for gaming and home office tasks (no need for a powerful computer, just mentioning it).

  In 1080p max graphics titles such as rdr2, dragon's dogma 2, diablo 4, the Witcher 3 next gen, and many others.

  The following temperatures are under load, idle reaching 25-30.

  PC case: silent base 802, CPU AIO on top 360mm, 3 intake fans front and 2 intake fans bottom, 1 exhaust.

  1st setup: GPU 6750xt and dark rock 4 CPU cooler (completely satisfied without undervolt. Temperatures 50-70 degrees, momentary 76-78.

  2nd setup: GPU 3090 blower and article liquid freezer 3. As expected, temperatures do not exceed 50-60 degrees. This, of course, is due to the GPU as it expels all the hot air outside, but also to the undoubtedly top-tier cooler.

  It is important to have SAM enabled in the BIOS (a 2-minute process).

  I have not undervolted, but I regularly update all drivers for the motherboard, CPU, GPU, etc.

  I will also perform the relevant tests in 2K when I receive the monitor and update.

  Thank you

  I have had it for just over a year now. Together with a 7900XT at 1440p without any bottleneck. Temperatures, with Arctic LF 360mm and Phanteks P500A case, always below 60 degrees in gaming and 70-75 degrees in Cinebench R24 with maximum (-30) undervolt from the BIOS.

  A gem for the AM4 Socket without many words.

  As a friend said... you need to learn how to UnderVolt just like on the regular 5800X which easily reaches 88c with Arctic Liquid Freezer II 360 with 6 fans please (push/pull configuration) and in a LianLi case with a total of 8 other case fans without the liquid cooling.

  [Read my review here, on the 5800X for more information - The 5800X3D behaves almost the same).

  You need to put in quite a bit of effort to do the proper Undervolting, specifically per core and not all cores like most people do to avoid complications but end up getting blue screens from time to time. With Ryzen Master, proper work cannot be done. There are 2 programs where you can see how much each core can handle, paper-pen-notes, enough time, and finally PRIME95 or OCCT to test the system for 1 hour. On the other hand, it is the top performer on the AM4 platform, overall and in the previous generation of Intel, the best proposal based on performance/price/temperatures. It works quite well even with the 4070. That's it.

  Finally, to conclude with the temperatures, no one should say that Intel in its category doesn't run hotter - because they would simply be lying!

  With the AM5 platform, you are definitely considering the purchase of the 7800X3D.

  The 5800x3d is the processor that will make you (whether you want it or not) learn what Pbo2, ppt, tdc, edc, curve optimizer, and kombo strike are for Msi motherboards, or as you may call them on other motherboards... In a few words, amd tells you to give 300 euros, and get to work if you want a processor that works properly, without your computer sounding like an F16 turbine. Testing with arctic Liquid Freezer III 280 and msi h115i, and without tweaking it reaches 78 momentarily playing between 60-78 under gaming conditions, this results in noise on one hand and on the other hand it cannot use its power to the fullest. The solution for me is the kombo strike found in the bios. By setting it to 2, it lowers the current, in other words, it does the well-known undervolt automatically, maybe it also affects the curve optimizer, I don't know exactly since it doesn't show what exactly it affects, however the processor does not easily increase temperatures and reaches high speeds, compared to its stock state, however this is not standard for everyone, meaning it can easily crash for someone else, that's why it has three levels from 1 to 3. The other solution is to do it all by yourself either from the bios or from the ryzen master program, something I did many times but didn't... Overall, its performance is good in terms of gaming with extra cache, but the issue with temperatures ruins the situation, the fact that it has not been properly addressed by amd is unacceptable, I would understand it somewhere if it was a 12-core or 16-core processor, but here we are talking about an 8-core processor, so come on! It's better to go for am5.

  One of the best processors for those who still have an AM4 motherboard, I have installed it on a B450 Aorus motherboard and it works great. Ideally, the processor requires a decent cooler depending on its usage, of course. Not something extravagant, but definitely not something cheap like a 15 euro one.

  Replace a 5600X, the difference is quite big and noticeable in many games. It is smoother with more stable fps. I haven't seen increased temperature in stock settings. It works with a Corsair H150.

  Good morning. The 5800x3d was purchased for 280 euros on 28/3/2024.
  My system has 32GB of G.Skill RAM at 3200, the cooler is the Artic esports duo, the case is the Phanteks Entroo Pro, and it has 4 140mm Scythe Kaze Flex fans, and the graphics card is the 3060ti.
  I mention the system because it is a rather typical setup for those considering it. The motherboard is the MSI x470 GAMING PLUS MAX. It replaced a 5600 that will go to another PC.
  Regarding gaming, differences are mainly in minimum fps, but the card works at 100% like with the 5600, so it was expected (I don't play esports, which from what I read makes a big difference). The purchase was made with the estimate that the next generations of GPUs will have a significant increase in performance at lower prices, and I considered that a processor with performance equivalent to the 7700x and the i5-13600k is an opportunity at this price and I will avoid changing the whole system in 1 to 2 years.
  It is significantly warmer than the 5600 and I was worried about whether the cooler would handle it, so I dealt quite a bit with the BIOS and I mention the results.
  Using the CPU-Z stress test in four different scenarios.
  Stock idle 35-40 c stress test 81c score 6047.
  Combo strike 3 idle 35-40 stress test 77c score 6237.
  CURVE optimizer-30 all cores currents on auto idle 38-45 stress test 74 score 6250.
  CURVE optimizer-30 all cores PPT 100 TDC 70 EDC 100 idle 35-45 stress test 71c score 6259.
  It may drop a little more, maybe it's close to the end of its production.
  UPDATE: Ultimately, the temperatures do not cause problems. With curve optimizer during
  Gaming max 73c average 55-60c.

  AMD's gift to the AM4 platform.
  Put any GPU you want on top, it has no issue.
  Try the PBO2 curve from BIOS at ~ -20 to ~ -30 for even more performance.

  It revived my computer. Very satisfied so far. If you have an AM4 motherboard and want to extend its life for a few more years, this is the right choice. Always in combination with an SSD, graphics card, etc., you will be able to run older games on ultra and modern ones comfortably on high settings.

  Bought used for €230 in 2024 coming from a Ryzen 5 5600, I expected not to see big differences since I kept the RX 6600 that I already had, and oh boy did I see differences. In all games, depending on the game, the differences were huge! Temperatures after activating precision boost overdrive in demanding games like Cyberpunk 2077, Guardians of the Galaxy with RT on ultra, COD Warzone 3 were consistently around 65 degrees with a Corsair H150i PRO RGB. The differences compared to the 5600 in Cyberpunk were about 15 fps difference in the benchmark, but in more demanding scenes, the difference became even greater. Fortnite in performance mode never went above 300 fps, and now it casually goes 600-700.

  Conclusion: If you are already on the AM4 Platform and looking for the best processor even for a mid-range graphics card, grab it without a second thought. You need to spend some money on a good cooler, whether it's liquid cooling or air cooling, due to the TDP of 105W compared to the 65 of the 5600, it will reach higher temperatures, so it needs to stay cool.

  EDIT: May 14, 2024 I changed the Corsair h150i pro rgb with the Arctic LF III, I also did an undervolt on all cores -30 and now the processor in cinebench all cores stress test reaches the maximum speed (4.45mhz) with 72-75 degrees, while with the corsair it reached thermal throttle at 90 with a frequency of 4.1mhz. I should also point out that the processor before the undervolt with the Corsair did not exceed 3.8mhz in all core stress test, so I consider the undervolt a must.

  2nd EDIT: 07/08/2024 Having changed both the case and the graphics card, I can say that it surprised me once again with what it is capable of doing. I got the Kolink Unity code X and an RTX 3090 and the PC has taken off. I didn't notice any bottleneck anywhere! And I should point out that currently I have a 1080p monitor. After changing the case, the processor is another 3-4 degrees lower, which makes it stand around 55-60 degrees during gaming.

  I got this CPU (Ryzen 7 5800X3D) a few days ago and there is already a significant performance increase from the previous 2600X (So I got an RTX 2060, and as an example in League of Legends from 100-200fps now I get 400-600fps). The only "issue" is that I had to order a new cooler since the fan that came with the 2600x is pretty much useless here. Now some people might ask, Is it worth the money? Maybe. But is there a noticeable difference in performance from a weaker CPU? Absolutely!

  If you got an older CPU like I did and are not sure if you should upgrade to the best AM4 CPU out there, do not overthink it, if you got the money and a good CPU cooler (I went for the Arctic liquid freezer II 240 120mm as it was highly recommended to be a top tier for it's price) just go for it.

  There is nothing better for an AM4.
  I have had it for 2 weeks now, combined with the Be Quiet! Pure Loop 2 liquid cooling system.
  Under extreme pressure at maximum resolution, the component does not exceed 60C. I would have never imagined it.
  The 5800x3d pairs extremely well with the RX 6600. Together, they handle all current games at maximum settings above 60FPS.
  Was it worth the money? Definitely.
  Would I buy it again for my Gaming PC? 100%

  From 5700x to 5800x3d combined with the Sapphire Radeon RX 6700 XT GPU, it feels like I upgraded both the CPU and the GPU. Excellent temperatures with the be quiet air cooler, I haven't seen anything above 60°C during long gaming sessions. Kombo strike 3 from the BIOS and go ahead without fear! It's worth every euro!

  Fantastic processor.
  The motherboard, case, and cooler you choose to pair it with make a big difference.
  If you're buying a Ferrari, don't skimp on the rest, otherwise, don't bother getting it at all for budget reasons.

  The best processor for Gaming in AM4 can comfortably support up to RX 7900 XTX / RTX 4080 in all resolutions, but even the RTX 4090 GPU without major Bottleneck (especially in 4K). It also has low power consumption and very good temperatures, I combined it with the Freezer 34 Esports duo and MX-6 paste and it doesn't go above 75C even in Cinebench23 Multi-Core.

  I just received this diamond myself, and let me tell you about my experience as much as I had the chance to play with it.
  First of all, I want to inform you that I went from a 3700X with a 1080 TI to a 5800X with a 1080 TI, and with a good opportunity I found, I upgraded to the 3080. Everything was perfect and in the games I play (mainly FPS, Tactical Shooters), but some small lows that occurred made me wonder what was wrong even though I have a fairly decent PC.
  With a little research, I saw that with i5/i7 12th & 13th generation, other friends had better results in FPS lows and max, with worse GPUs (e.g. 1070).
  I had those bad thoughts of switching from AM4 to a 1700 system, but I regretted spending my money. And most importantly... would it help?
  To cut it short, after researching and seeing the results of the x3Ds, I fell into the trap and bought the 5800X3D, at an opportunistic price of 310€ so I wouldn't have to spend a fortune.
  The main test I initially did was in PUBG (not something great for gaming), where in Vikendi, specifically in Lumber Yard, before with the 5800X/3080 at 2K (Competitive settings) I was getting 120-170 FPS, now with the X3D, in a full server with about 15 opponents in the area, (the shock) 220-280 (I even saw 300).
  Honestly, if someone is looking to make a small upgrade, I think it's the best solution for AM4 systems. DON'T THINK TWICE.

  Edit 1 - 10/12/2023:
  Well my friends, let me add now that I found a little more time on the weekend and tested it more intensively,

  PUBG Miramar Pecado (We all know what happens in Pecado) until the end of the game:
  Avg: 253 FPS, High: 300 FPS, Low: 174 FPS
  Before with the 5800X, I definitely didn't go above 180.

  Post Scriptum (A quite heavy game with high demands), especially with the 5800X in the cities where it was TOUGH, I was fluctuating between 65-80 FPS.
  Yesterday, since the game changed developer and we saw a little light with full servers, a tear rolled down... Avg: 130 FPS, High: 182 FPS, Low: 84 FPS.

  For gaming, it is excellent. (X3D has the highest performance)
  For heavy tasks / video editing / rendering, it is fast, but not among the top performers.

  - You cannot overclock it, (but it has a boost up to 4.2~4.5)
  - The temperatures are quite high.
  - It requires separate settings in the bios, different from the stock configuration.

  Search in the bios for what PBO (Precision Boost Overdrive) is
  and how to undervolt / apply a negative curve optimizer offset,
  to lower the temperatures and increase performance (thermal throttle)

  Words about the processor are unnecessary.

  Its reputation precedes it and is confirmed every day.

  It is the best processor for gaming on the AM4 platform in the majority of cases.

  If you play MMORPG with huge cities full of players or FPS with 128 players exploding simultaneously and something, you won't have any FPS drops.

  Now for eSports titles (LoL, CS, Overwatch) we're talking about 560+ fps consistently at maximum settings.

  At this moment (28/09/2023), with the incredible prices being played to set up an AM5 system with the 7800x3D, prefer the 5800x3D and the tried and tested AM4 platform.

  Well guys, let me tell you about the results. The CPU is a gem. My system was 3900x with 2080ti. In Warzone at 1080p with all settings on low, I was getting 90-130 fps. In Pubg, again with all settings on low at 1080p, I was getting 90 to 150 fps. I installed the star, the 5800x3d, and ran a stress test to see where it was working, hitting around 90. I did some research on undervolting on the net and came across the pbo2 tuner. I followed a tutorial, set an offset of -30, ran the stress test again, and everything was smooth as butter. It was running at 79c. I opened Warzone and saw 180-230 fps, which shocked me. I tried Pubg and saw 400-500 fps, another shock. In crowded cities, it went down to 300. The 2080ti started working at full capacity from where it used to sleep. CPU temperature was 62c during games. I don't know what else to say to convince you to get it. I have a B550 Steel Legend motherboard and updated the BIOS before purchasing the CPU. It needs a good cooler because it gets quite hot. That's it. Goodbye.

  Upgrade from 2700x to msi x470 gaming pro. The upgrade took 5 minutes with the old cooler of the 2700 and a new thermal paste. I had already updated the BIOS and it worked immediately. Noticeable improvement in performance for the better.
  The only negative is the temperatures it reaches, 85-90 degrees under full load, and since my PC is air-cooled, it's getting hot now. I will try it with the program that I see others writing about that lowers temperatures and I will come back with an update.

  I got it CLEARLY to increase the fps in Tarkov, as it happened. From 55-65 on the Streets map, I went up by about 40fps.. and when there's not 'a lot' of people, it reaches 140+.. no cap.. I'm impressed.. on the other maps I was already doing well, but they also increased significantly.. In terms of temperatures, with a single-fan NZXT x42, I reach a maximum of 67-69 around there. When I open something sometimes, it goes up to 70-72 for 2 seconds and then drops back to normal.. I find these temperatures perfectly fine for my case anyway! I recommend it! I would go for 7800x3d, but the overall package is expensive.. :P

  Update 21/8/23: I also enabled PBO and the temperatures dropped by 3-5 degrees, especially when the PC is idle or when watching YouTube, etc. Now, I don't know how some people with 2-fan and 3-fan liquid coolers reach 70 degrees.
  Update 09/07/24: it is now the top of the AM4 platform. I'm still using the single-fan x42. With PBO, it reaches a maximum of 69 degrees no matter what game I open. I hear many people who don't want to change their motherboard and switch to this one, and they are right to do so.

  Verified purchase

  The purchase was made solely to improve the performance of World of Warcraft, as that is the game I primarily play, and with the 5600X and the rx6800, there were some frame drops (not major, but they were there). Well, on low settings, it reached 30-55 fps and the game became much smoother! On the other hand, in games like Assassins Creed, it performs 2-4 fps lower than the 5600X (which is expected due to timing reasons), especially with Kombo strike enabled due to the MSI motherboard. My resolution is QHD 3440x1440.

  In conclusion, if you play MMORPG games, it is definitely worth it and more! However, if MMORPG games are not your priority and you play at a resolution of 2K and above, the 5600X or the 5700X are much better value for money.

  Update: With Kombo strike enabled at level 3 and in a Be Quiet Pure Base 500DX case, it reaches temperatures of 53-61 while gaming, and after 35 minutes of Prime 95, the maximum temperature is 81 with an Arctic Liquid Freezer II 240 in a room temperature of 23.6 degrees. It has the same temperatures (only 2-4 degrees difference) as the 5600X!

  I also want to share my experience. Recently, I upgraded my graphics card (4070) and processor (ryzen 5 3600) compared to my old card (rx 5700). There was a difference in fps (game escape from tarkov) from 45 to max 75fps, which went up to 60 with 100+ fps at 1440p resolution. Something didn't seem right, so I decided to end my AM4 platform and not change the entire system. With an X570 motherboard and a bios upgrade, it was read directly. In terms of fps, now it's 100 to 150+, yes, I'm writing it correctly, I didn't expect it either. With the same settings, in terms of temperature, it now reaches 78 degrees peak with an average of 70c with a triple fan liquid cooler. So, if you don't want to change your entire system and want it to last for another 3 to 5 years, it's worth the money for gaming situations!!!

  Update: If you are concerned about temperatures or do not have adequate cooling in the CPU and want to reduce the temperature, search for PBO2 tuner offsets on Google. Personally, I simply put -20 on all cores and set the limits to PPT 120W TDC 80A EDC 130A. The temperatures have dropped by 10c and the boost is stable at 4450Mhz.
