AMD Ryzensets 7 5800X Processor (8 Cores/16 threads, 105W TDP, AM4 socket, 36 MB Cache, 4,7Ghz max boost frequency, no cooler)

I’ve been running the Ryzen 7 5800X since April 2024 paired with an MSI B550 Tomahawk and 32GB DDR4-3600, and it still absolutely rips in both gaming and productivity. Performance For an 8-core, 16-thread chip, the 5800X punches hard. In gaming, it holds strong paired with a 4070 Ti — CPU usage stays efficient even in CPU-heavy games like Cities: Skylines II or Baldur’s Gate 3. No noticeable bottlenecks at 1440p and even 4K. Multithreaded tasks like video encoding and software compiles (I use DaVinci Resolve and Visual Studio) run smooth and fast. Single-core performance is impressive too — it’s still competitive with newer mid-range chips thanks to Zen 3’s IPC gains. Thermals The one caveat: it runs hot. Like, really hot if you don’t have good cooling. I’m using a 360mm AIO and temps still hit low 80s under full load. Totally manageable with proper airflow, but I wouldn’t pair it with a basic air cooler unless you’re not pushing it hard. Overclocking & PBO I’ve left it mostly on stock with PBO enabled and curve optimizer tweaks. Gains are decent, and the chip boosts aggressively into the 4.7–4.85GHz range without manual OC. Stable, no crashes, no throttling. PROs -Strong gaming and productivity performance -Still excellent value in the AM4 ecosystem -8C/16T is a sweet spot for gaming + light workstation use -Unlocks full Gen 4 support when paired with B550/X570 CONs - -

System Spes: Ryzen 7 5800x 6600xt 32 GB of RAM @3200 ASUS ROG STRIX B450-F GAMING II (most recent bios) My god. This is a huge upgrade for me coming from a 3600. I knew it would be fast, but this is mental! The performance difference in games is incredible. Elden Ring for example, would drop a few fps here and there with a reshade and texture packs. Not anymore. Its holding a constant 60fps everything at maximum with a 6600xt. Same for other games like Ghost of Tsushima, God of War, (which suffered from terrible stutters.) The 5800x has amazed me. I'm really looking forward to getting my 6700xt next month now. As for temps. Its all good so far and my fan isn't that great. I'm changing out my fan tomorrow for a new Peerless Assassin so I think this will be a major help as I think I can hear my fan being a little to active. Temps are still very good though. I highly reccomend this CPU. Edit: After a night of stress testing on cinebench with the Peerless Assassin, stock cpu settings 100% sustained load did not get over 72 C both single and multicore. Stock clocks are very stable. Boosting to 4.5/4.6mhz. Idle temp is 50 C max. 40/44w power usage. I did undervolt it and did really well. There's a lot to play with. I just put it back to stock as its performing 200% better than my previous cpu at stock. Edit:24/07/2024 Still going very strong. Seems to have worn in so to speak. Great temps all around. Single core performance is amazing. I've seen it hit 4.875 100% load using Traktor DJ to re-analyze my entire music collection over 4 hours. Could also listen to tracks in Traktor and browse the net watch youtube. Gaming wise really good. With a 6600xt its the differnce between medium and high/very high shadows, textures, screen space reflections. A 6700XT is my next upgrade. Edit:14/12/2024 Cpu is still performing really, really well. Very stable and fantastic temps paired with the Peerless Assassin SE fan. My gpu is starting to struggle so time to upgrade that lol.

So, I recently got my hands on the AMD Ryzen 7 5800X Processor, and let me tell you, it's been a game-changer for my setup. This thing is an absolute powerhouse! With 8 cores, 16 threads, and a whopping 36MB cache, it's like having a turbocharged engine under the hood of my PC. First off, gaming on this beast is a dream. It handles everything I throw at it with ease, from AAA titles to intense multiplayer sessions. The responsiveness and smoothness are on another level, thanks to its ability to boost clock speeds up to 4.7 GHz. It's like having a personal gaming genie that grants all your framerate wishes! But it's not just for gaming – this processor is a multitasking marvel. Whether I'm editing videos, streaming content, or running multiple applications simultaneously, it never skips a beat. And let's talk about overclocking – it's a breeze! I've managed to squeeze even more performance out of it, which is like icing on the cake. Compatibility-wise, it's a no-brainer. It works seamlessly with AM4 socket motherboards, so you don't have to worry about compatibility issues. Plus, AMD is constantly pushing out updates to keep things running smoothly, which gives me peace of mind for the long term. Now, let's address the elephant in the room – heat. Surprisingly, this thing runs cooler than expected, even under heavy loads. I haven't had any issues with overheating, which is a huge relief considering how powerful it is. Overall, I couldn't be happier with the AMD Ryzen 7 5800X Processor. It's like the Swiss Army knife of processors – versatile, reliable, and ready to tackle whatever you throw at it. If you're in the market for a serious upgrade that'll take your PC to the next level, look no further. This bad boy delivers in spades!

I originally ordered from Amazon but due to complications I didn't receive my order but I managed to get myself one from elsewhere regardless & it's a great CPU. I'll be pointing out some important things so please continue reading this. If you plan on using an AMD Wraith Prism Cooler (say you're upgrading from a 2700x like I did for example) this CPU gets VERY HOT and will idle at 50°+ majority of the times. Under full load it hits 90°c regardless of your case cooling. I have a friend that has a h115 corsair 240mm aio & he tops off at around 76°c which still shows its a hot processor considering a monster of an AIO tops the CPU out at such temperatures. Thought regardless of the CPU running at 90°c tops, I do manage to get the advertised boost speeds which suggests very limited thermal throttling despite the high temperatures, so in this case I can conclude that you will still get top notch performance. General tasks - in all honesty, unless you're upgrading from a CPU that's 5+ years old, you won't feel a difference in terms of everyday performance especially if you're running a hard drive or a low end ssd as a boot/general use drive. In order to maximise even the response times it takes to open Google for example, a better ssd (not necessarily top of the line PCI GEN 4) would be best suited. So who's this CPU best for? It's aimed towards content creators & gamers. Content creaters that edit videos on a day to day basis. Obviously it won't get you the top of the line rendering speeds considering it's an 8 core CPU but due to the IPC improvement; to put into perspective, it's around 52% faster then my previous 2700x in terms of rendering times & over 300% faster when it comes to file compression (in my case at least & no my 2700x was fully functional) Gamers - it's a great CPU, the added cache definitely reduces uneccessary stutter during games such as e-sport like fifa or games such as call of duty which require a blast of cpu performance in 1 quick go. You'd see the biggest differences in terms of performance upgrading from a 2nd or 3rd gpu (almost a 50% increase in performance coming from a 1st gen Ryzen CPU) in gaming that's 1080p & under, as I'd expect most of you guys that are buying this CPU to know, the more you scale up the resolution the more GPU power it would need. So what would you wanna pair this CPU with? GPU's this CPU would work great with (in my opinion): AMD RX 5700XT RTX 2060 Super RTX 2070 Super AMD RX 5600XT (You could possibly get away with a 2060 or a 1660ti/1660 super {GAMINYG}) With all good things you'll come across things that will make you want to pull your hair. I've come across numerous blue screen errors as well as random crashes - this might not be applicable to everyone as use case scenarios are different. In my case, using applications such as bluestack or playing Call Of Duty - Warzone, you 'may' come across blue screen errors here & there but at this point in time I'm not overly surprised since it's a new CPU, any updates would hopefully resolve issues like these. If you're mainly gaming, I wouldn't give you a reason to pick the 5800x, I'd edge more towards the 5600x & you can used the saved money towards a better GPU which will indefinitely give you better gaming performance but for streaming/video editing, them additional cores are great help. If cooling is an issue, I'd once again edge towards the 5600x or I'd go for a 5900x (for content creaters & streamers) since it runs for cooler then a 5800x (5800x's have been reported to be hot across the board) but again if you're able to buy a 5900x, I'd assume upgrading cooling would not be an issue. I've a lot more to mention but if you ever want to discuss computer components drop me a message on Instagram - @GamingPcMemes [maybe drop me a follow too (: ]

Why would I say this processor is great yet not recommend you purchase it? Two words. Heat. Power. This thing runs hot. This makes Core i9 chips look icy cold. The design of this chip and the way AMD has packed so much into the die means it runs hotter than both the 5600X and the 5900X. It also sucks down a lot more power than the 5600X and not a lot less than the 5900X. This leaves it in a strange place in the 5000 series line up. In pure gaming terms, this offers almost zero benefit over the 5600X. No game I've tried stresses a 5600X to the point where you need the extra cores that the 5800X provides. Truth is, the 5600X is a complete powerhouse that has enough single-core performance to not even bottleneck a 3090 GPU. Even if you wanted to game and stream, the NVENC encoder in all Ryzen CPU's means that even the 5600X has no problem doing both. If you need the extra cores and performance for video editing or something similar, you might be better served looking at the 5900X. All in all, this processor absolutely smashes anything you throw at it. The price was too high but it is now coming into the right kind of ballpark for it's capabilities. You still shouldn't buy it though. If you want a great chip for playing games, save some money and get the 5600X. If you need all the cores for creative work, the 5900X is where you should be looking.

This means my system is future-proofed for upcoming advancements in hardware technology. 🏆 Value for Money Considering its performance and features, the Ryzen 7 5800X offers excellent value for money. It competes with much more expensive processors, making it a wise investment for both gamers and creators looking for top-tier performance without breaking the bank.

One of the strongest single core CPUs to date and you get 8 of them making this an absolute beast and honestly overkill for the majority of games today. If you render a lot of videos then this is just the ticket too so no worries there, infact I may as well just say that unless you surf the internet and nothing else then you probably already know about this beast of a CPU such is its legendary performance. With that said, it runs hot and I mean a room space heater hot. This is because it is a single die so its a lot of heat in an extremely small area and most heatsinks are not designed for this as it is an extremely rare setup for CPU design and unless you roll a winner on the die lottery you can expect to idle at moderately high temperatures and to reach alarmingly high under load. According to AMD themselves the CPU is designed to run this way and you can read more with a quick google search but for most of us its just very worrying especially when your fan goes crazy and your PC starts lifting off, trying to cool the cpu down! Even watercooling solutions will struggle against this beast so don't feel bad when you hit those highs. With all that said though for most users we are taught that if your CPU can heat your house then its probably running too hot and if you use your computer intensely and you probably do if you are even buying this, then get yourself a quiet or silent cooling solution because the noise regular coolers will make trying to keep this cool will drive you nuts and you can't afford to mess too much with the fan speeds because you can't afford to let the heat runaway for even a second as the CPU generates so much so quickly. I know I am repeating myself here but most other CPUs spread the load inside the chip so the heat is also spread out but this CPU doesn't and as a result only some of the chip gets insane while the rest of it stays cold and this naturally messes with the internal thermostat so rather than risk the cpu just get a crazy good cooling system or consider the Ryzen 9 5800X instead as that uses the normal internal layout (less power per core but more cores to compensate).

Fantastic product the 5800x is a solid cpu capable of multitasking and gaming video editing etc Its considered an older generation cpu now but it can still make light work of AAA games playing with good frame rates and high setting s although this also depends on your graphics card but I found this chip amazing for the price and perfect for mid range budget builds It runs standard at 3.8 ghz but can safely be over clocked and function upto 4.7ghz its AM4 socket and doesn't have on board graphics so its better paired with a suitable gpu Its a 8 core processor with 16 threads so Fantastic at multitasking and general use
