AMD Ryzen 7 5800X 8-core, 16-Thread Unlocked Desktop Processor

I upgraded from a Ryzen 7 3800x and omg! The difference is night and day. I would load up Lego Star Wars The Skywalker Saga and with the 3800x I get a slight drop in fps or little pause when the intro video transitioned to another scene; even when paired with rtx 4070 Super. Not with the 5800x. It transitioned so smooth it brought a little tear to my eye. It runs hot!!! I have a wraith prism fan cooler and although it will idle around 40 c it easily jumps to 80 c when loading Star Wars. During gameplay it will go no higher then 63 c at only 8% usage which is fine but that 80 c at load is unacceptable for me. I did order a high performance cpu fan that will be here today. All in all I’m satisfied with the 5800x. Also, want to note that I loaded up Warhammer 40,000 Space Marines and my cpu sat at 80 c at 15% usage at the title/main menu. I was like, “nope.” Exit to desktop. Waiting on my cooler now. Last but not least the ryzen 7 5800x is currently on a +60% sale. Pretty sure I got a steal. Delivered the same day with Amazon prime I have not one complaint.

Me gustó bastante, es mejor utilizarlo con un disipador de torre en ves de una líquidaYo tengo una Ryzen 7 5700X3D que debí ponerle la líquida en ves de la de torre pero bueno, así se aprende

The unlocked feature allows for overclocking, making it ideal for enthusiasts who want to push their systems to the limit.Its performance in both single-threaded and multi-threaded tasks is impressive, delivering fast, smooth results across various applications. Paired with a good cooling solution, it runs efficiently without overheating.Overall, this processor offers exceptional speed and power, making it a top choice for gamers, content creators, and professionals needing strong processing capabilities.

Okay so first of all – i bought mine used from amazon warehouse for 145$ and it arrived in the original CPU plastic enclosure, nicely wrapped in bubble wrap, inside of a box inside of a larger box!Well packaged!Pristine condition, not a scratch on it!Perfectly functional.Amazon warehouse – great prices, save money! No need to buy new ;)And now onto the review – holy mother of spiciness! I run a Dark Rock Pro 4, one of the best air coolers on the market, and by default, this thing was running a freaking 95CI thought I messed up with my thermal-paste application.Using Kryonaut from ThermalGrizzly. Checked it all, reapplied the paste. Same temps.SPICY CHIP!So I went into PBO (Precision boost Overclock) and adjusted the Curve Optimizer. (RECOMMENDED SETTINGS : Curve Optimizer – Manual, NEGATIVE 24 (that is -24) ALL CORE)ALl other settings – auto.Will drop the temps by 8-11C for you.Under normal gaming sessions I now run around 70-76C and benchmarking with Cinebench I hit 86C tops.Couldn’t get my all core to -25, I know some people had that, my cpu isn’t that stable. But -24 Curve Optimizer works good.Clock speeds around 4.85GHz single core spikes. About 4.6GHz all core sustained for 30 minutes of Cinebench.Cinebench score of 14000-14500 on multi-core test with my -24 Curve Optimizer.Very good CPU! but DO adjust that CO like i said, trust me!

s does not include a cooler/fan or any thermal paste. My 2700 was cheaper and included a cooler. A bit disappointed. I have to take the liquid cooling from my old PC.Thinking I should have just went with the Intel i5 11600K. It is cheaper by 50 bucks and includes the cooler with 2% better performance than this chip. But i’ve been an avid Ryzen purchaser over the last 10 years.They shipped this with a place to put the cooler (an empty piece of plastic) which is pretty wasteful.I ordered this as a bundle with a MSI Tomahawk motherboard thinking I would save about 60$. I wanted the motherboard to have built in Wifi, and the bundle said it did, but turns out it switched the bundle to the one that didn’t have it. Disappointed because I ordered the one with WiFi included but when bundling they didn’t include the Wifi mobo.Moral of the story is to check your products before buying. I ended up having to use old Wifi card, old cooler, and driving an hour away to get thermal paste.Edit: I’m adding a star because apparently this wasn’t the sellers fault for removing the cooler. It is actually the choice of AMD to remove coolers from their products.

It’s hard to believe that just 5 years ago an 8 core 16 thread CPU cost well over $100 USD and now the 2700 can be found for $150 (as is could for the last two years) while the 3700X for $279.99 is quite a bargain as well. So is the 5800X worth 33% of a 2016 8/16 from Intel? Or 50% more than a 3700X? 250% more than a 2700?!? That’s actually a tough call, so I’ll go with a *maybe.* If you already have a 2700 and game, 4k and don’t rely too heavily on Photoshop or rendering scenes/videos, then no, I don’t think it is. If you have a 3700X or 9900/K or better that turns into a hard no unless you really need those extra few minutes it will save you rendering over the course of a day (if that). Now if you have a 2700X or lower and play games at something =/<1440p then you may certainly want to consider it.Besides noticing an immediate difference in little things, like how quick the mouse is on my desktop compared to a 2700, my in-game FPS is up roughly 10% @1440p with a paltry XFX 5700 non-XT. I definitely didn't expect that much of a difference, but since I still plan on upgrading my GPU, most likely in late August or September when the lower prices in the East start making their way to the Western markets, I thought "Why not, you'll just end up spending the extra money on something silly, and you've been squirreling money away since the launch of the 6800/XT and 6900XT's were released. By the time I settled on what GPU I wanted and would benefit me most when I work from home, the prices were so silly I didn't want to contribute to an unhealthy consumer market considering I have another PC I use for 85% of my work. To my surprise, it did help my GPU out quite a bit more than expected, while greatly improving efficiency in CAD.While the gaming performance is great, and I don't anticipate hitting any bottlenecks with the 6800XT or 3080Ti (the 3080 would be a fantastic match for gaming and home office work *if* it wasn't so RAM starved, which I see being a big problem within the next couple of years; what was Nvidia thinking? Bleh, giving it the same amount of RAM as mid-range cards from 2016?). The chip itself burns through most workstation tasks faster than any other 8/16 I have ever used. At stock speeds it sips power, runs very cool (I'm using the stock Wraith Prism that came with the 65 Watt 2700) even when gaming, while having no problem keeping it's 4.7 boost for as long as needed. In CPU intensive games like Cyberpunk 2077, Bannerlord or Red Dead Redemption 2 the chip laughs as it might hit 78c and continues to jog along at 4.7, without missing a beat until the action slows down. Baldur's Gate 3 is also a joy to play over the 2700 in battles since it runs through so many different scenarios and variables with every NPC before taking that character's action for the round. 7-10 seconds per NPC has turned into 1-2, which is fantastic when you have 30 bad guys on the field.That said, it is a pretty good value for the money if you are upgrading a pre-2017 system or a 6/12 or lower thread count CPU. If you're building a mid-range to high-end gaming PC it's fantastic, and is a great option for a home workstation. I could even see running a virtual machine or two with it in a pinch. It really is a dynamic, blazing fast CPU that will probably last a good 3-7 years depending on your needs.
