AMD 1700x upgrade to 5000 series X nonX G ?

[2013]

Hi guys ive been considering upgrading my 1700X for some time but left it but with the release of the 7000 series, I thought it may be a good time to upgrade.
I have checked and noticed my ROG CROSSHAIR VI HERO 370x now supports the 5000 series so I can get a 5000 instead of 3000.

The only issue other than the price, the models are a little confusing I have is what to choose You have the 5600, 5600x, 5600g, 5700x 5700g, 5800x
5500,5600, 5600x, 5600 all seam very similar
5800x, 5700G 5700x all seam very similar


What's the difference ?

I'm leaning towards 5800x, 5600x 5600 due to the availability and price but knowing more would be helpful

The 5600 and 5600X are nearly identical (6 core, Zen 3), but the 5600X has a higher boost clock.
The 5600G and 5700G have onboard graphics (6 core, Zen 3 and 8 core, Zen 3), but half the cache of the 5600X and 5700X and they only support PCI-E 3.0. Best avoided unless you don't like graphics cards.
The 5700X and 5800X are nearly identical (8 core, Zen 3), but the 5800X has a higher boost clock.

The 5600G/5700G usually perform between the lower model and the equivalent X CPU, for example: the 5700G is often faster than the 5600, but slower than the 5700X.

The 5600/5700X have lower power consumption and heat output, in theory, which I've read (on here) confirmed with the 5700X (at least, versus earlier 5800X CPUs).

I believe the 5600 and 5700X are more likely to be a later stepping, but I don't know much about that so perhaps someone else can help.

You may find this video published today interesting (not sure why the 1700 drops off the charts sometimes):

Thanks that was great help, I was doing a quick google and that's what I was finding.
I will be keeping or upgrading my graphics card

I'm assuming I could get the same or better over clock from the non X ?

I'm think 5600 and the 5700x maybe a good choice for me but the 5800x is more widely available used.


What do you think about the 3900x in comparison it seam to the same price as a 5800x on the used market but with more cores and threads.


Im just looking at the video, I was also thinking why did they drop the 1700 and the 3900x

 

[2013]

I think Steve talks about the overclock potential at the end of the video.

Unless you're doing really CPU heavy stuff like rendering with Blender, I'd consider the 3900X obsolete for gaming, especially with the discounts available on the 5700X/5800X.

Thanks, this give me a starting point for the upgrade.

 

[2013]

I would jump at the 5800x or 5700x if I was in your shoes.

Thanks

They are my first choices hopefully something comes my way.

The 5700X and 5800X are nearly identical (8 core, Zen 3), but the 5800X has a higher boost clock.

5600x Base Clock 3.7GHz Max. Boost Clock Up to 4.6GHz Default TDP 65W CPU Cores 6 Threads 12

vs

5700x Base Clock 3.4GHz Max. Boost Clock Up to 4.6GHz Default TDP 65W CPU Cores 8 Threads 16

vs

5800x Base Clock 3.8GHz Max. Boost Clock Up to 4.7GHz Default TDP 105W CPU Cores 6 Threads 16

The 5600/5700X have lower power consumption and heat output, in theory, which I've read (on here) confirmed with the 5700X (at least, versus earlier 5800X CPUs).

What is the power consumption and heat output issue with the 5800x ? could you point me to the link ?

5800x was my first choice due to the availability and the higher clock speed

 

[2013]

It's not an issue, they're just often thought of as the hottest running. I've heard that it improved with later stepping 5800X CPUs, but I haven't been keeping up with this. I think there was a thread on the forum not long ago "5700X/5800X same price, which would you buy?"

One theory is that the 5800X concentrates the most heat in a single die, whereas the 5900X is able to share it between two dies.

Thanks again for the help, ill need to take a look.

 

[2013]

There is £10 difference between the 5700x and 5800x new. I'd just get a 5800x and run it in Eco Mode via BIOS option. Makes it a 5700x.

Architecturally, they're the same. Just the 5800x runs at 105w TDP in order to boost to the higher clock speeds. Whereas the 5700x runs at 65w and doesn't boost as high.

Would I still get the clock boost ?

Thanks, will take a look.

Just to add to my two pennys worth. The 5800x3d is a gaming monster. If you want your system to last many years get this. When you upgrade your CPU dont forget to upgrade your motherboard bios and AMD chipset drivers.

Thanks but the issue is I don't have the budget for a 5800x3d, I may just manage to get a 5800x if not ill need to get a 5600x and upgrade again later.

Im going to update the bios today to stay on the safe side.

 

[2013]

They are both great CPU's, try to get the 5800x if you can as it will last you longer as the consoles have 8 cores and modern games are starting to use them. Spiderman is a good example.

Thanks, Ill push for the 5800x. the only thing im wondering about is the over heating issues.

 

[2013]

The 5800x can be tamed. There are quite a few ways to do it. What Cooler do you have ?

I have a Noctua U12S

 

[2013]

Your cooler has a max TDP of 140w. The 5800x is 105w so you will be fine. Dont forget to order thermal paste.

I have some but how long can you keep it ?

 

[2013]

Thats a good question as the thermal grizzly I had turned to cement. Sorry to say it depends. Have a practice and see how you get on.

I've been using arctic and noctua but its not a issues can always buys some.

 

[2013]

recently changed to a 5900x from a 1700. I'd go for the 5800x or 5800x3D if you are staying on AM4

Thanks, did you have any CPU temp issues ?

 

[2013]

Thanks, I ended up ordering a 5800x, I'm hoping i will also get good temps.

 

[2013]

Thanks guys like I said before I ended up going for a 5800x, kept the U12S, I've not changed any of the settings in the bios yet, I kept everything the same as when I had the 1700x, things do seam a little smoother.

The pc does make a little more noise than before but that could be because I cleaned out all the dust (dont know).

I don't know what temps I should be getting.
