AMD Ryzen 7 5800X 3D Cache Eight Core 4.5GHz (Socket AM4) Processor - Retail - Go Go Go xD

It’s certainly not available on all boards, even B550 boards with BIOS’s released the the past 2 months.

Upgraded bios from a 2 year old one. Now PBO settings are available. Can you now do a +200mhz overclock like you can with non 3d chips? The setting is there.

10x scalar and -30 on all cores working fine, which isnt a surprise as I had the -30 tested previously using pbotuner.

edit:

dont try clock boost override, for some reason it locks it at 200mhz above base clock instead.

Did you notice the scalar doing anything?

Same. Have my CH6 since mid 2017. Has been with 1800X, 3900X and now with a 5800X3D. Not much love for Asus for neglecting the board, but it has been rock solid with all CPUs, 4 x RAM populated and overclocked to 3800 CL16 with 1900 infinity fabric. -30 here as well with 5800X3D, 4450 all core and 4500 single core(some times 2 cores).

Did you up any voltages for 3800/1900IF? My unify 5800x3d does 3733/1866 at default voltages but I'm not sure which voltages to up to go higher...

No. Once I had put -30, it was pegging to the maximum anyway due to the thermal headroom. It might have made a difference if I could overclock it.

bit of discount on these atm, Im currently running a 5800x (decent overclock), would it be worth upgrading my AM4 one last time with one of these and selling on my old chip as I mostly game on my system?
anyone done similar? I know the 2 chips are very close in performance anyway, but if the difference is worth it I would upgrade now while its cheap

It’s the strongest gaming CPU on that platform, so mostly for gaming yes. IIRC you’re looking at between 10-20% more performance. Maybe a little more if you’re using an Nvidia card.

I made the switch some time ago. A bit better averge FPS at 1440P but 1% lows were much more consistent. It still has great performance compared to some of the 7xxx chips.

..but 1% lows were much more consistent.

I went from 5700X to 5800X3D and noticed this right away, also the extra performance.

Thinking about skipping the 7000/9000 series and upgrading my GPU now, as being at 1080p I dont think I need a better CPU at the moment.

I would stick with what you have. Still an amazing CPU.
