Hi all.

Just plumped for a 5800x3d upgrade from a 3600.

I've read the 5800x3d gets a bit toasty shall we say. Anyone on here using a Brocken 2 on their 5800x3d or is is time for a new cooler? If so which one please that's reasonable priced

Thanks!
 
Yeah it is huge! I have to leave side of my case off.

Will give it a go first tomorrow when it arrives and see what temps it hits and I'll Google what temps should be.

Fingers crossed
 
Thanks Micky for the recommendation. I'll try and save some pennies by giving the brocken 2 a run out with it but appreciate the advice if no good
 
Thanks I will check that one out too.

I can't remember my case model number at all. The brocken is slightly too big though so it's side off and regular cleaning
 
I installed my new CPU with PA 120se last night and it's a tight squeeze but she fits and the side of the case is back on after about 2.5 yeas of being off!
No real noise increase to report so happy overall!

Good news!
I would think side closed at similar fan speed would be a little quieter, but depends on case flowing enough air to cooler.
How are temps compared to what you had with Brocken with side open?

I'll be honest i don't really recall as never had any issues or oc'd my old 3600.

Currently though with my 5800x3d and PA120se the cpu is running around 33-34 for general use and web surfing. I did an hours stress testing last night (CBA with 24) and it went to high 70's running at 4.45ghz but from what i gather these can handle 90C anyway so not fussed.

I only game on it and playing Warzone 2.0 brings the temps up to high 50's and low 60's at it's peak so i'm confident it won't melt :D

In gaming definitely. General day to day use , surfing etc i see no difference.

Going from 3600 to 5800x3d has increased my WZ2.0 FPS by 30-35% though. I would say it just feels a much smoother experience overall.

I ran 3d Mark time spy before installing and this is what i got

3600

time spy 10396
gfx score - 11186
cpu score 7427



5800x3d

Timespy 11387
gfx score 11264
cpu score 12145

A big leap in CPU score, now its my 3060ti holding it all back but i currently game at 1440p so while prices are daft for graphics cards i'm happy to hold on until the inevitable move to 4k.
