In case you missed other deals. Same dealer as on Ebay
Like wise with a tweaked 5900x, backwards move in most ways.Every time I look at one of these 3Ds, my 5950X looks up at me and glares "Don't you dare...🤨"
That's absurd. I'd much rather somebody rig up and sell me a sort of jukebox system to boot different CPU's on a single board. That way I can be more efficient and cover my desk with one giant box. Rather than multiple s my smaller ones.Great price on a great gaming CPU. Zen4 and Raptor Lake have done nothing to make me regret mine.
Just throwing it out there, a 5800X3D doesn't have to replace a 5900/50X... In fact they can compliment each other well and AM4 mobos / used GPUs are cheap right nowFill up your desk with boxes and have multi-core and gaming performance separately.
I switched over my 5900x for a 5800x3d last weekend, no regrets so far! I also just game/ office work on my desktop, not a lot of rendering or streaming from it.Like wise with a tweaked 5900x, backwards move in most ways.
Can you Let me know how you like the boost? I want to grab one before supply dries up... and replace my current non X 5600 chipI grabbed one last week and just dropped it in last night to replace my 5600x. Looking forward to putting it to work tonight.
I upgraded from a 5600x and set my curve optimizer to -30 with PBO2 Tuner. I can maintain 4.5ghz boost on all core @ 65-70c on real world loads. (The OCCT stress test ran at 52c for reference) I don't know how much is placebo but it feels a ton snappier. The cost right now to upgrade vs just buying this CPU to drop in an existing system is what pushed me to go ahead and purchase this. Best bang for buck right now imo.Can you Let me know how you like the boost? I want to grab one before supply dries up... and replace my current non X 5600 chip
i just got a plain 5800x...it was a great price, but damn it lol. worth upgrading!?
Not really. Made the same move. Anywhere from 1% to 20% improvement depending on games. Only issue for gaming was takes maybe 2-4 seconds longer to do shader caching.Like wise with a tweaked 5900x, backwards move in most ways.

Outside of gaming maybe.
Not if the majority of your PC's use is gaming. It's entirely subjective to the person and their PC's common role.'Outside of gaming' is 'most ways'.
Any noticable differences?I switched over my 5900x for a 5800x3d last weekend, no regrets so far! I also just game/ office work on my desktop, not a lot of rendering or streaming from it.
Honestly no, I think deep cleaning, windows reinstall and changing from pcie 3 to pcie 4 nvme made a bigger difference. Like MAYBE slightly less stutters in some demanding situations but only slightly.Any noticable differences?
