AMD confirms Ryzen 7 5800X3D launches this spring, Zen4 Raphael in 2H 2022

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.

 

[ODuffer]

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...

 

[Tee Hee Johnson]

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

but then you have the cost of new mobo, ram...
i'm not complaining about the current performance - running old vega 56 lol
have found out about those 2 CPU's way too late would have made a change earlier

If you have a local sexy place and have some old tech/ games or even your old CPU, you could trade in to offset the cost. Not many left now I imagine, as the price has increased by 15 quid in the last 4 months since I purchased one.

 

[eeii]

It’s so good I can imagine many owners are like AM6 for my next upgrade.

 

[Casdawer]

As a 5800x3D owner, whilst I get the temptation to upgrade to a 9800x3D, the cost of all the other parts just puts me off as I’m sure it will for other AM4 users.

Holding out for AM6 and the 5800x3D is still a beast of a CPU. AMD cooked too well with this CPU.

 

[Silent Bob]

I upgraded from a 5800X to a 5700X3D a year ago, it wasn't night and day but feels a bit smoother. However, at this point I think upgrading to AM5 is more worthwhile than paying over the odds for end of life AM4.

 

[Emlyn_Dewar]

100%
Changing a motherboard is easy. Throwing money at the dead end platform doesn't make sense. There was a time to buy one and it wasn't in the last year, at least.

 

[sgoaty]

I do find it odd when I seen used 5800X3Ds selling for 7800X3D money, yes they're good but at some point it makes a lot more sense to sell off you old stuff and make the jump.
I went from 5900X, 32GB DDR4, X570 Hero to 7900X3D, 64GB ddr5 cl30, B650-E-F for a £185 outlay.

I was considering getting a 2nd hand 5800X3D of eBay but when I saw the sold prices they were selling for the same price as as brand new 5700X3D which made no sense to me so I just walked away.
