5800x now vs 5900x pre-order

How would people say my temps are for my 5800x I ordered from OCUK and use it with a Asus strix x570-e and Corsair hydro icue h150i pro xt 360mm

In BIOs the CPU temp stays around 50degrees and when I check in HWmonitor in a fresh windows install its hovering around 45-50%

I performed a few Cinebench R32 benchmarks and it got up to 87 degrees and stayed there and I was seeing 4.9 single core clock speed and 4.5 all clock speeds.

So I'm just not sure if its just these AMD CPUs run hotter or mine is running hot.

Hopefully tomorrow my new thermal paste comes in so I will replace the stock AIO with grizzly, but I cant see this making much difference.

Mine is under custom water. However you have a very good AIO.

Mine as a reference with a negative curve of -20 on all cores.
CB23 @ 4.8 77 degrees
Normal windows post boot and settle 28 degrees
Gaming 50-60 degrees

Try a remount using different TIM?

Yes, way too close in my opinion, I'd be looking to vert mount. If it was my PC I would use this as an excuse to ditch the air cooler and go for as big an aio as you can fit. I'm getting 4.722ghz sustained all core boosting with PBO.

I'll keep an eye on temps, they seem ok at the moment. I've liked having an air cooler this round after coming from a noisy pump AIO on my last build.

Vertical mount seems pretty easy with this case so I may just pick up a riser cable to try it out.

Vert mount is certainly the cheapest option... well, I'm assuming so, although I've only looked at them on the Chinese rainforest, so will assume over here they are infinitely more expensive after e-tailer mark up.
 
I caved in this evening and went for a 5800X instead of waiting for a 5900X at RRP given the latest availability news / rumour posted elsewhere on here. If a 5900X comes up in the future I could repurpose this in another build.

Hoping the 5800X will be fine though, intended usage for 4k gaming paired with an RTX 3090 FE, VR and possibly recording with OBS and a webcam at the same time (local recording not live stream)???
 
No update on the current 5900x situation in almost a month for those that have pre orders it's extremely frustrating to be left for so long without any update in regards to what they have put their money towards, some sort of update to those that are waiting for weeks/months on end would be very much appreciated, I am sure they are happy to have our money sat in their account and not give us any decent updates.

I'm assuming the availability update yesterday (posted elsewhere) applies to all UK retailers... "We have been informed by AMD that regular shipments of 5000 Series CPUs will start to resume at the end of February 2021 with stock becoming more available into mid-march." :(

Any particular reason why people want the 12 core? I wanted one until the tweaked benchmarks showed them having faster core clocks.

Me developer, testing apps deployed in Kubernetes locally. :p Lots of real cores for testing multiple instances. 16 cores even better but cost getting a bit high. 12 is a sweet spot for me. YMMV

How many containers are you running and what sort of workloads? I too run a lot of containers for local development, but I hadn't considered a large number of cores beneficial - I certainly didn't notice any improvement going from 3600 - 5800x.

Most of the time I would agree, not a problem for local development. Its when I'm performance testing and running multiple copies of various services, e.g. Akka clusters, its interesting to see what happens when I'm using production settings for cpu/mem resource allocation. Nice to know what happens before going to AWS

I suppose my perfect CPU would be 16 cores, no HT and integrated graphics. No need for a graphics card on test targets :D

Which reminds me, any SFF boxes with dual 2.5/10GbE around ? Some shuttles are ok with dual ports but only 1GbE
 
I really can't decide what to do at this point. April is still a fair way off for the 5900X, and may be longer still before I can actually snag one. My main use is Lightroom + Photoshop and gaming, so the 5800X should still be a viable option for that. Now just seems a really bad time to be putting a new system together, with all these part shortages!

I bought a 5800 a month ago because I couldn’t get a 5900x.

I regret nothing and it performs great. I may pick a 5900x when they drop but only for the sake of upgrading.

That said, if next gen is DDR5 then a cheaper build for now doesn’t seem a bad option.

I just installed my 5800X yesterday, upgraded from a 3600. I too had eyes on the 5900X but the pricing and availability didn't make sense. For those thinking you need 12 cores to beat Intel, the 5800X beat the 10 core Intel equivalent in all benchmarks I've seen anyway. In terms of gaming, the upgrade from 3600 is fantastic. Even at high GPU bound resolutions, the lows are much improved for a much smoother gaming experience. No judders in the city part of the RDR2 benchmark for example, or when driving around in Cyberpunk. I also seen my average frames boost from 65 to over 70 in Cyberpunk at 3440x1440 max settings. Then you have SAM to enable as well; in the Shadow of the Tomb Raider benchmark I increased from 104 FPS to 142 FPS!! In Borderlands 3 I got an increase to 119 FPS from 101 FPS. It really is worth the upgrade!

Very happy with the 5800x too
