[100-100000910WOF] Ryzen 7 7800X 3D, 8-Core, 16-Thread Desktop Processor, Without Cooler

Pre ordered the 7800x3d. Upgraded from a i5-9400f and the difference is night and day. Incredibly stable 1% lows and averages and I am using a 3060ti getting over 120fps in MW2 at 1440p ultra settings. Have not had such a stable experience gaming experience in my entire gaming history!Using a Arctic Freezer 2 280mm AIO, I rarely see my CPU go above 70 degrees Celsius but don't worry if yours runs a little hotter these new 7000 series CPU's are meant to run hotter and the 7800x3d is rated for a max operating temperature of 89 degrees Celsius. I'd recommend an AIO like an arctic from personal experience and to keep these hotter CPU's in check!Power efficiency is fantastic, and do watch some LTT or Gamers Nexus for a deep dive into the efficiency of this processor ... MorePre ordered the 7800x3d.

I'd recommend an AIO like an arctic from personal experience and to keep these hotter CPU's in check!Power efficiency is fantastic, and do watch some LTT or Gamers Nexus for a deep dive into the efficiency of this processor as it's incredible to see especially in the UK where energy prices have gone mental.Only draw back for this processor is the lower clock speeds due to the 3d V Cache being sensitive to higher temperatures. This will effect FPS in games like CSGO where clock speed is more important to the game's output than the 3d v cache but in more intensive triple A titles like cyberpunk the 3d V cache can be seen in full effect.For a first time PC builder the installation process was simple, the pins are now on the AM5 motherboard so just be careful placing in as not to bend the onboard pins which can be sensitive.Overall, as I'm sure you can tell at this point, I rate this CPU very highly and will have this CPU see me through until at least the end of the AM5 platform (which should be at least 2025) and then consider upgrading to AMD's latest and greatest x3d processor then. Up until then I'll next secure a newer GPU in the coming months and watch the FPS climb!Great product.

If you're looking for a high-end desktop processor in the market, this is the best you can get right now, not only is it one of the fastest processor out there, it's also by far the most cost effective processor in terms of productivity workloads, but not so much for gaming. I would not recommend this if you're only using this for gaming, instead, get a 5800x3d or 7900x for a more budget option but still having similar gaming performance.Now, getting to am5 platform and therefore to this processor is a lot more expensive compared to the previous generation am4. ddr5 rams are about twice as expensive, motherboards(even the budget ones) costing a lot more than the previous generation turns a lot of people off from switching to this platform. But if you're planning ... MoreIf you're looking for a high-end desktop processor in the market, this is the best you can get right now, not only is it one of the fastest processor out there, it's also by far the most cost effective processor in terms of productivity workloads, but not so much for gaming.

But if you're planning to future proof, then ddr5 will be the standard in the future and this processor is definitely will last you a long time!If you're still buying 7900x/7950x processors, just remember to get a very good AiO cooler(I recommend at least 280 or 360mm radiators) to get the most performance out of it since it'll heat up to 95C at maximum workload out of the box without any tuning. I personally undervolted and underclocked mine so it runs at maximum 70C and 145 watts while only getting about 5-7% performance drop.

Blistering speed that trumps my 12900k OC

I recently picked up a 7800X3D and a 7950X3D from Best Buy (along with an MSI X670e elsewhere) to compare against my 12900k rig which is running P-Cores only at 5.2ghz and an MSI Liquid Suprim X 4090 which auto boosts to ~2820mhz right out of the box.I primarily play WoW Dragonflight and Fallout 76 4k max details.Th 7800X3D and MSI x670e Carbon are paired with 2x DDR5 M-dies at 6000 manually tuned to CL30-36-36-30 along with tuned secondary and turn around timings. Fclk tops out at 2100. CPU was cooled with an EVGA CLC 360 and KPx using the AM4 mounting.My 12900k is 5.2 P-Cores locked running on an Asus Strix Z690 D4 with 2x16GB DDR4 B-dies tuned to Gear 1 4000 CL15-17-17-34 and tight secondary timings. For anyone wondering about DDR5, I had previously picked ... MoreI recently picked up a 7800X3D and a 7950X3D from Best Buy (along with an MSI X670e elsewhere) to compare against my 12900k rig which is running P-Cores only at 5.2ghz and an MSI Liquid Suprim X 4090 which auto boosts to ~2820mhz right out of the box.I primarily play WoW Dragonflight and Fallout 76 4k max details.Th 7800X3D and MSI x670e Carbon are paired with 2x DDR5 M-dies at 6000 manually tuned to CL30-36-36-30 along with tuned secondary and turn around timings.

For anyone wondering about DDR5, I had previously picked up a Z690 Unify-X DDR5 and tuned 2x A-die to 7400 (where my CPU maxed out) to see if it would give me better performance than my DDR4 setup and it at best matched my Gear 1 4000 DDR4 but at worst more often than performed worse so I stuck with my DDR4 setup. CPU was cooled using an Arctic Freezer LF II 420 with the 1700 mounting and KPx.I did a flight point run from the tip of the Isles and back again along with a run around Valdrakken main city (which is known to tank performance) for each setup.All data logged with MSI AB. Short run is Valdrakken. Long run is flight across the Isles and back.The 7800X3D is the clear winner for my needs and as always you should make sure to check how your games and setup runs but the difference is enough for me to give the nod to an upgrade.Gaming the 7800X3D for WoW and Fallout 76 runs about 43c tops and pulls less than 50w which is great.Running something CPU intensive like Cinebench R23 all core, it tops out at 80c and pulls ~90w which is just fantastic.This is a fantastic gamers CPU that runs incredibly low power and cool. If you're looking for a buildout that delivers top notch performance (again check your games played and use scenario), the 7800X3D is a potential monster.All data was collected after updating the BIOS to the newest version from MSI which addresses the AMD CPU problems and overvolting issue.

Fantastic - delighted with purchase

I finally put my i9 9900k to bed after nearly 5 years of us, after 12 years of intel i felt the time was nigh to get back on team red as they seem to be dominating the gaming scene and after buying this can confirm am very happy that I did.for years I would keep youtubing 9900k vs and the price would never be worth the extra frames but after seeing how the cheapest 3d v-cache chip was top of the pile for gaming i decided to take the plunge, delighted that I have too as everything running like a dream, can especially see the large gains with a lot of cpu heavy games where my 9900k was starting to struggle slightlythe chip naturally seems to run hot i would warn (no change since my old team red experience), even with a hard tubing custom loop with 2x 360mm rads ... MoreI finally put my i9 9900k to bed after nearly 5 years of us, after 12 years of intel i felt the time was nigh to get back on team red as they seem to be dominating the gaming scene and after buying this can confirm am very happy that I did.for years I would keep youtubing 9900k vs and the price would never be worth the extra frames but after seeing how the cheapest 3d v-cache chip was top of the pile for gaming i decided to take the plunge, delighted that I have too as everything running like a dream, can especially see the large gains with a lot of cpu heavy games where my 9900k was starting to struggle slightlythe chip naturally seems to run hot i would warn (no change since my old team red experience), even with a hard tubing custom loop with 2x 360mm rads I'm around 45 degree idling, under full load (gaming) this gets upto around 70 degrees gaming (75 was my peak after a few hours). Extreme loads (unrealistic loads using prime95) pushed this to 80-85 so expect to have an extra heater in your gaming room with this. I would definitely suggest a good AIO to keep it cool or high end noctua if you go fan based due to the heat.AMD have really nailed this CPU for gamers who didnt want to splash out on the 7900X 3D or 7950x 3D versions if they have no workstation needs (I do use keyshot, blender and solidworks however and this is still more than sufficient in those apps). In honesty after this release I genuinely see even less reason why they even bothered to launch the 7900X3D version, it just seems they wanted to embarass intel on all available price points rather than it serving any actual purpose to the consumer.I genuinely have no loyalty to red or blue, intel has been great for me for 12 years but i will always go with the best chip for gaming, AMD seems to have the edge

Fantastic gaming CPU

The 7800X3D offers performance superior to a 13900KS with 7200 Mhz memory, on average, while using much more affordable DDR5-6000 CL30 memory. Where the 13900KS wins, it's typically by a small margin, whereas when the 7800X3D wins, it is often by a larger margin (e.g. Factorio where it destroys every other CPU). In most games, the CPUs are comparable, but the 7800X3D uses far less power (typically 50-65W while gaming), puts out less heat, and is much easier to cool. For example, the 7800X3D has been tested on the cheapest B650 board ($99) and even an A620 board ($85) and in gaming, it offers similar performance to high-end X670E boards In contrast, the 13900K/KS really warrants a motherboard with good VRMs.In addition to great performance and efficiency, with the ... MoreThe 7800X3D offers performance superior to a 13900KS with 7200 Mhz memory, on average, while using much more affordable DDR5-6000 CL30 memory.

The AM5 platform supported Zen, Zen+, Zen2, Zen 3, and Zen 3 3D V-Cache. In contrast, the Intel 1700 platform is at the end of the line. If you get a 13900K today, you'll need to buy a new motherboard to upgrade your CPU in the future.For folks that care about productivity, I would recommend a 7950X due to its excellent efficiency. For mixed productivity and gaming, the 7950X, 7950X3D, or 13900K/KS are all good choices. The 7950X3D gives the best of both worlds of the 7950X and 7800X3D but it works best with Project Lasso, so you can assign games to the 3D V-Cache CCD and everything else (and games like CS:GO) to the 2nd CCD that allows higher frequency but offers less L3 cache.Note: Make sure to upgrade your motherboard BIOS to the latest version and verify that when using EXPO, your SOC voltage is 1.3V or below - preferably 1.25V.

Fast, powerful, and flexible

The Ryzen 9 7950x is everything I needed. With top end single core performance and a massive core count, this thing crushes any task I throw at it. The high core count makes it easy to handle numerous VMs as well.As for flexibility, the eco mode power options allow for much lower thermals and power draw for only a minor performance hit. Definitely worth checking out if efficiency/thermals are a concern for you.Speaking of thermals, one downside is that it runs pretty hot in general. 45C-50C at idle, even with a 360 mm AIO water-cooler (Arctic Liquid Freezer II). I haven't been able to get package temps during operation since the machine is running Linux and the kernel version I have installed doesn't support the motherboards's sensor api yet (ASUS TUF Gaming ... MoreThe Ryzen 9 7950x is everything I needed.

Newer kernel versions supposedly fix this (5.20 ) but I didn't feel like manually updating.The other downside is the price, but recent discounts/price drops have made it much more competitive with Intel's offerings.Overall, if you need the best when it comes to performance, the 7950x won't disappoint.

Great CPU with new AM5 socket

I am really pleased with the system I built with the Ryzen 7700X. It is a great CPU. I haven't experienced any issues with heat at all with gaming or regular use. The system is fast and a great upgrade over the 5800x that I previously had. The system is just as quiet, and most likely quieter with the fan curve I used for both gaming and regular use.I've been using AMD chips for the last several generations. I've enjoyed being able to use the same board for several generations of CPU's, and this is the reason I chose this setup this time around as well. While it may be quite as fast as the 13700K, the difference is not something that would make me want to switch over to a socket that is going to be replaced in the next generation. I have nothing against Intel, and ... MoreI am really pleased with the system I built with the Ryzen 7700X. It is a great CPU.

While it may be quite as fast as the 13700K, the difference is not something that would make me want to switch over to a socket that is going to be replaced in the next generation. I have nothing against Intel, and in fact use a laptop with their tech, but for my gaming PC I felt this was the better option.I am running my 7700x right now in Standard (Default) mode, but have tried ECO mode as well. For those who don't know, you can set the Ryzen to run at 65W if you want it to use less power. To be honest, I haven't seen a situation yet where I am worrying about it, so I have just left it at Default. There are a lot of options for playing around with getting it to be power saving or power hungry, but for most users I think the CPU stock will be a powerful upgrade and well received.My only complaint with this CPU is the boot time. There is about 10-15 seconds of what I think is RAM timing before the system boots into windows. The fans run at full tilt during this time. After that, it boots into windows in 5 seconds or less. I am hoping future BIOS updates reduce that time, but I have gotten used to it at this point.Overall I am very happy with the CPU and look forward to gaming and future upgrades as new generations come out.

Great FPS and extremely efficient

Very efficient and easy to cool.I upgraded from s 5900x to the 7800x3d for a more consistent frame rate and lower temps.It's temps run around the 60s in gaming performance with a 360mm aio, but does reach 86 with CB23 all core running @ 5GHZ.It consumes about 66W with gaming and 99W under full load.I'm using the asus X670E-E and was worried about the voltages, but fortunately the have not peaked over the 1.3V that has been causing issues. Their 7800x3d OC runs it at 5.2 GHZ.Paired with the same 4080, I've seen a little bump in FPS, but those nasty 1% lows are in a much better place. Less hiccups and more enjoyment.Its a good little chip for gaming, it would be great for ITX and air cooled builds.It does what it is supposed to do, but with so much headroom, it ... MoreVery efficient and easy to cool.I upgraded from s 5900x to the 7800x3d for a more consistent frame rate and lower temps.It's temps run around the 60s in gaming performance with a 360mm aio, but does reach 86 with CB23 all core running @ 5GHZ.It consumes about 66W with gaming and 99W under full load.I'm using the asus X670E-E and was worried about the voltages, but fortunately the have not peaked over the 1.3V that has been causing issues.

It just works.It's great for gaming and general use.

Incredible Performance, With a Caveat

The 7800x3d is incredibly fast and is the best gaming cpu on the market. Be warned though that the AMD AM5 platform is still quite new and is currently buggy with some annoying issues and some issues that could potentially cause system failure and damage to hardware. If you aren’t familiar, I recommend looking into the concerns with Expo (The AMD version of XMP) and SOC voltage damaging both motherboards and cpus. If you are an experience PC builder this isn’t as big of a concern as you can manually limit the SOC voltage which should prevent you from encountering any such issues. If you aren’t very comfortable with manually changing voltage, you may want to wait for AM5 to mature and buy the next generation of motherboards/processors or go with Intel instead.

With all of that said, this CPU is insane and not only outperforms the Intel 13900k in most games, but it does it while drawing something like 1/4 of the power. Hopefully AMD and their motherboard manufacturers resolve their issue quickly because I would hate to see this incredible CPU overshadowed by their mishandling of recent issues and their seeming inability to resolve potential catastrophic failures in a timely and consumer friendly manner. 5/5 stars for performance, but I’m docking 1 star over the bugs and issues with the AM5 platform.

Well performing and cool running processor

After a week of use I can confidently endorse the 7800X3D. There’s a lot of talk of potential risks with this processor but in the configuration I’ve been using (Gigabyte B650M DS3H, Hynix 6000mhz, 280mm Corsair AIO) I haven’t had any problems. After using Ryzen master to plot a per core offset of -35 my cpu is running at a maximum of 1.25v and occasionally boosts to 5.2ghz. Hwmonitor reports temperatures well within tolerances and staying away from the thermal maximum.Gaming performance is why I bought this processor and I’ve been satisfied with the results I’ve seen. It really improves on 1% lows which translates to less hitching and performance degradation during intense taxing moments.Overall it’s a well performing and exceptionally power efficient bleeding ... MoreAfter a week of use I can confidently endorse the 7800X3D.
