Cex have some but expensive - MM is your friend.

Are the 5800X3D still readily available in the market? or is it just auctions sites?

Waste of time buying them now, better option is to sell board/CPU/RAM combo and replace with cheap AM5 board, CPU and RAM you'll end up spending the same/similar. Obviously you'll get the "It takes too long to take out a board etc." argument but the other option is paying £250-300 for used EOL CPU.

Unless using some complicated custom water-cooling setup, replacing a motherboard never takes long.

My case is and a old school CM690 and doing a motherboard change isnt great due to the space though if one can change a CPU its not much more to do the motherboard.

The 5800X3D is a great CPU and its suffered the same fate as the 9900K where its better to sell the setup and buy a newer platform as I did it with my 8700K years ago as the cost to move to a 12600K/Z690 and keep my DDR4 was £30. The switch to a 9900K after selling the 8700K would have cost me nearly £100.

At one point you could buy a 5700x, am4 motherboard and some cheap ddr4 new for less than a used 9900k on ebay.

I was just curious, I already own one - so arguments don't apply

Decided in the end that a final upgrade of my AM4 system would be a good idea so have bought a 5800x3d; hopefully I will not regret the upgrade (from 5900x).

I made that switch on my system (as with you I only game and browse the net/watch some films/TV) and the boost was noticeable in gaming. Enjoy!

The 5800X3D is one of the gaming CPU GOATs for sure.

I went from a 5900X to a 5800X3D, essential probably not, but as a gamer and for fun(!), it was a no brainer.

 

[AgedIdiot]

Did likewise - am enjoying the 5800X3D !

 

[nutsnut]

I went from a 5950x to a 5800x3d as i don't do as much photo/video editing these days.

Always have my eye on a cheap updgrade to a 7800X3d or 9800x3d but for now i'm happy.

 

[bastic]

so difficult to find 57 or 5800x3d... few were sold on MM in bundles...

Perhaps go am5, typically cheaper and better performance. 7800x3d is where it’s at.
