With the Arctic Freezer 36, this processor has nothing to fear. Even in demanding sessions, it stays relatively cool

So, it was paired with an RTX 5060ti 8GB, 16GB 5600MHz 2x8, PUBG competitive settings from 200 to 400 fps depending on the area, Fortnite 500fps stable.. there isn't much to say about this CPU

It's a beast in every way, the 96MB L3 cache makes a big difference! With good air cooling and the curves set to minus 30 from the BIOS, I get at least 10 WATTS and 10 degrees less than with the factory settings, without any problems (so far at least). It's worth looking into this tweak (PBO)

attention if you want a box you have to select it and it is a bit more expensive

Amazing processor. I haven't seen it struggle yet, even after hours of gaming (8 hours straight for sure). I haven't tried anything demanding in terms of multitasking. Temperatures have reached up to 70, but generally it doesn't fluctuate even after a long time and without liquid cooling. Mine arrived a bit dented on one corner but not on a functional part; if you want to be more certain, get the box edition. Also, it needs 120w, so keep that in mind

Okay, here we are talking about the 2nd best processor in the world for gaming (after the 9800X3D). Whoever wants the best possible processor for gaming just goes here.

The best processor I have bought in recent years. With the same graphics card, from 150fps it went up to 250 in the same game at full resolution.

So far, combined with the RTX 9070XT from RADEON, it flies in games as well as in graphic design programs with a max temperature of 68C

I have it with a Thermaltake liquid cooler, max 65 degrees, but even with my old cooler from Ryzen 7 2700x I was still seeing up to 70.
I have it with an RX 9070 Nitro+ and it goes full throttle

I am very satisfied, it doesn't go above 73 degrees with the cooling I have on it (When I remember which one I have I will come back to write it)

- Thermalite Peerless Assassin 120.

Unmatched processor for gaming. It is advisable to get a good cooler with it (not necessarily watercooling)

If you have the money to go for the 9800x3D, go ahead!
But if you want the best possible performance in Games without spending 400+€ on a processor, the 7800x3D is EXACTLY what you want.

If you're interested in Gaming first and foremost, and everything else after, the X3D processors are just what you need and the 7800x3D is a very good Value right now.
If you're ONLY interested in Productivity, then completely skip the x3D.
If you're equally interested in both, better save up and go for the 9800x3D.

A beast for its price, no question about it, it doesn't lag anywhere in gaming, it's top-notch, and whatever I made it do, it flies, together with 128GB G.Skill Ripjaws S5 6000MHz RAM and RX 7900XTX, everything is a piece of cake

Quite good, it doesn't overheat even after many hours on Fortnite, runs very well. It's a bit pricey but worth it.

Decide to build new PC on new platform for 3-5 next ages.
I think it's ultimate option for today for a few next years. Cold, powerful. My not very good when undervolting on all cores, but still usefull.

war dog doesn't flinch in any game and doesn't raise temperatures with a good water cooling. definitely worth the money it costs now

Just what you need for gaming
You get it and forget it for a minimum of five years

Ryzen doesn't need many words top .. I went for this exact model in case I upgrade my pc again so I won't have to change the processor .. Flawless ..

What can one say first about this beast from AMD.
Purchased in August 2024 for 400 euros, and so far it hasn't lagged anywhere. Easy to cool, doesn't need anything crazy. Combined with a 7800XT, and I play at 1440P.

The processor is not rumored to be the best for heavy gaming for no reason. Its price is crazy right now, but the demand is also crazy... Anyway, its pros are: 1) Bulletproof. It doesn't lag anywhere and makes everything look like a game. 2) It is a processor that doesn't consume much power despite its performance. There at AMD, they have done a really great job on optimization. I believe it is the sweet spot for a processor. The best processor, even if you find it used here on the site, just get it right away.

What's up with the price, guys? Last year I got the 5800x3d for 280 euros. I don't remember the 7800 being over 350...

As much as you can get the 9800x3d because it costs 1000+ euros... here you will find the best processor for gaming that you might need. It is overkill even for 4090. You don't need anything more. Throw it a good water cooling and it will last you 7 years...

The king of gaming. With excellent consumption, moderate to OK thermals. I come from a 13700K and it really is night and day. A one-way street for 3D in gaming. The price is a bit steep but it's worth the money. Waiting for the 9800X3D though because if it has better thermals, I will prefer it.

Married with AORUS B650M Elite AX and 6000MTs30CL memories, it runs flawlessly.

Surely in the game category it plays alone, but its price has risen a lot; for this money, you have other options

Good processor but AMD has problems with the graphics drivers mainly. I don't know if they will show up with the processors as well. Anyway, I recommend AMD processor and Nvidia graphics card.

Since the announcement of the Ryzen 9000 and the rumors about the Intel 13th and 14th generation, its price has skyrocketed and continues to rise despite its age... what a shame. It has lost its VFM status. Someone who wants a processor NOW to last for years and not just for gaming can look at the i9 13900F (€386) or the i7 14700KF (€380), get a Z970 motherboard, do a BIOS update, and have peace of mind. Otherwise, they should wait...

The top processor for gaming, but in my opinion, at this price, spend an extra €30 and buy the 7900x3d. And to preempt you, yes, they have fixed the problem they had with the core parking of the v-cache.

Note 26-9-24

It's tragic that due to the poor release of the 9000 series, the price of the 7800x3d has risen to €450-470. A month ago, you could find it for a maximum of €350. Unfortunately, this happens when there is no competition and AMD is playing ball on its own.
