5800x3D upgrade
- Thread starter WildgooseUK
- Start date
Ordered a 5800x3D recently as it was dropped in price.
Should arrive on Monday.
I'm currently sporting a 5800x with a beQuiet Shadow Rock 3 but tempted to take this oppurtunity to upgrade the cooler.
5800x already runs hot on the Shadow Rock and my office tends to have higher ambient due to it being very well insulated.
Any good cooler recommendations? Don't mind AIO or Air, but ideally less than £100.

Personally I would buy a Noctua as I like the brand etc... but everyone on here says the Thermalright Peerless Assassin 120 is the one to go for as it's much (much) cheaper.

Yeah it's up for sale in the UK, but it doesn't seem very well priced. It would fly off the shelves at £199 no doubt.
my boy as a Peerless Assassin 120 not the SE, its cooling a 5700x3d and in very CPU intensive games it plods along at 58c with fan set to max out at 1000rpm so he cant hear it.
it really is a very good cooler
im stress testing ram right now and it maxed out at 62c.
TBF i would just keept the same cooler, the X3d runs cooler then the 5800x... so if the cooler is working dont change it
most if not all will do -30 on curve optimizer.
my 5700 games at 58c with fans set to silent

given the price of a used 5800x3d i picked up a new 5700x3d for £232 i was happy at that, but i expect a drop in the used price soon as people just pick up a new 5700 over a used 5800 for basically the same price.

Yeah I didn't mean to imply it's a bad purchase at that sort of price, just surprised it isn't lower.
I'd rather a new chip than used for the warranty alone too.

Looks like the 5700x3d will be my next chip...probably.
I too am a little disappointed with the price, just a little. Recently the 5800x3d could be had for £260ish, I had hoped for a larger gap in price but £232 isn't too unreasonable.

I think given the performance, the price is good
£234.99 from somewhere less than a week ago !
~£265 for a 58 vs ~£240 for a 57 is (for me) small enough that I'd go for the 58.

I don’t believe that.

I have been searching for weeks, I'd have been on that like a car whatsit.

I must admit that I dont really look on deals sites other than HUKD, was that for a new chip?
I saw that £234.99 price on Reddit and went to the site and tried to add it to my cart and it wouldn't do it (but other products were fine), so I remain sceptical.

I use a Noctua NH-U12A cooler with -30 Curve in Cinebench R23 max out at 80°C
somthing not right there buddy. i only have a -25 curve, i used a PA120 with fans set not to pass 1000rpm and i see 62c on a singlr pass and 66c and a 10min run of R23
