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.

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

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.

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.

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 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.

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.
