I got my 9800x3d yesterday, along with the build in my sig. I have been testing the undervolt but it doesn't make any difference to my temps in Cinebench. I

Go into your Bios, look for PBO and see if you've got Advanced or Enhancement. Set a temp limit! Try 90(Cinebench) Run some tests, then for games bring it down to 80 in bios. It will hit that as a temp limit, because with PBO set to auto/enabled there's no temp limits other than what your cooler can do.

I could leave mine at 90, but sometimes games doing shaders are a real **** and it hits 90C just for shaders. But it never gets near that in games, max is around 75C / average 55-65

Depends. What resolution do you game at ? If it's 4K you'll be GPU bound in most games and will see marginal difference in performance. At lower resolutions the difference is more noticeable, and there are some games that are more CPU bound eg. Flight Sim, Factorio, Satisfactory where you will see a clear uplift in performance.

Thanks for this , 4!K currently with a 7800xtx but trying g to source a 5090 at a decent price .

Probably get £270 to £300 for my 7800X3D in MM so I'm thinking for £180 ish it might be worth an upgrade.

Just to be clear, even with a 5090, you'll be GPU bound in most games whether you stick with a 7800X3D or upgrade to a 9800X3D. Btw, I sold my 7800X3D for £250 in MM. Last few have sold at that price ... £270 max.
 
Have there been any update on the reported issues with ASrock M/Bs and 9800X3D?. I'm finally looking to replace my i7 920 X58 based PC and was looking at a X870 ASRock RS Pro & 9800x3D combo but I'll a little worried about the compatibility

Get the TUF GAMING X670E-PLUS if you can.. It's an incredible motherboard!
 
Moved from my not very old 5700x 3d and was slightly concerned about temps. Then reading what everyone else is getting, I no longer feel concerned. I guess this runs a little hotter than the old CPU and my cooler is doing the job OK.
 
Anyone made the jump from 5800x3d to the 9800x3d and found it worthwhile. Currently on the fence about it. Main reason would be my sons rig needs an upgrade so I could pass my 5800x3d to him :D

Search the thread for 5800x3d, multiple people have given their positive view on this upgrade.
 
I do see an improvement in games but don't think it's a grand's worth. Games are smoother and the new Indy game runs at 111 FPS, which is nice. Benchmarks such as 3D Mark see good gains and I guess I have future proofed myself for when I update the GPU. That won't be for a while though. I only got it late last year and I'm not interested in the new Nvidia cards at all.

It is nice to not be using a motherboard which is almost 7 years old though.
 
There wasn't much of a noticeable improvement in games or when generally using the computer either. I game at 4K which makes a difference and I came from a Ryzen 7 5800X so a bit less performant than the 5800X3D. Temps and power consumption both improved, but agree with the post above it is not a grand's worth.

Cheers. I’m at 1440p uw so a bit less than 4k but wasn’t sure if I would see an improvement when using dlss. Still on the fence. I kinda have to upgrade my sons rig at some point so trying to upgrade both at same time haha

Haha fair. Yeah with DLSS your actual render res will be lower. I guess if you're already getting 100+ FPS and want to push it over the edge, or you have some other specific improvement in mind for a specific game then it might make sense, but still feels expensive given you need a new mobo, ram, etc.

If I was you I'd consider holding out on your upgrade - the 9800X3D will drop in price so waiting and grabbing it down the line when it's less cutting-edge and cheaper is probably a good shout? Drivers will have matured over time etc. too (and this scary 9800X3Ds exploding issue might be resolved!)
