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

Just recieved mine.

I just set mine to "Kombat Strike" level 3. This appears to be a cure optimiser hidden under a different name. Anyway...

Cinbench R23 got me 14,974
4,450Mhz pinned on all cores for the duration and all other tests, they never drop.
1.13 - 1.135v ish volts.
115-120w sustained draw.
Temperature max'd at 75 degrees

Had a quick game of of MW2 and useage peaks at 75w and 60 deg. Im pretty impressed with that! I came from a toasty 5800X that could only do -10 curve, so pulled 150-160w for 4.65Ghz all core, not super silicon, as a tinkerer im happy with the new change and better efficiency even if there was little value for money really.

The question is are you seeing any performance gains in games?
 
Any ideas as to why mine will only reach 4.45 single core boost? Temps are fine, just seems limited to that. I'm not concerned, it's been a noticeable improvement in some games I play but just curious. All core is 4350 or so with a quiet fan curve (hit's the low 80's in an all core workload).

mine is the same mhz.
Mine is the same 4450 mhz never more

What ram are you running with that and at what speed, im getting 14,200 with tweaked settings using PBO2 tuner, but running a Gigabyte X570S master board, im guessing you're running an MSI board, also running 32gb (4x 8gb) DDR4 3600mhz @ 3800mhz 16-19-16-16-36-1T GDM 1.45v

Gigabyte bioses never seem to come out of beta and feel very beta too.

I've had my 5800X3D for a week now and i can run PBOTuner 2 at -30 across all the cores. I've not tried any lower mind. My ram is 4x8gb Crucial Ballistix Sport at 3600 at some old times I used for my 3700X. Motherboard is a MSI X570 Tomahawk.

The PBO certainly makes a different to the temps. I'm running a Arctic Liquid Freezer II 360. Just done Cinebench R23 and got a score of 15035

Very similar setup here, using 5800X3D PBO -30, X570 Tomahawk, 4x8GB Ballistix 3600 (XMP) - 15016 CB23 and 101W max package power. Max temps of around 68C in a custom loop.
 
I’m using a noctua D15s it’s a right old big lump but does the business. Only ever seen it get to 60c with spider man, usually cooler playing other stuff.
 
Black friday deals will now start popping up over the next couple of weeks so if I see one for any cheaper than the current deals, will pick one up and also get an arctic freezer 240mm to keep it cool, don't think my be quiet shadow rock 3 would be up to the job!
Just upgraded to 5800x3d and Be Quiet Shadow Rock 4 (I think it has 200W TDP while yours has 190W - pretty much the same).
Maximum that I saw was around 86*C in Cinebench23, in games usually stays under 70*C (from what I've played) and a bit over in more "demanding" ones.
In Stalker CoP boosts to around 4450 with short bursts to 4550Mhz on one core since that game is pretty much single core. :))

So do it, you'll be fine temperature wise.

I'm on an AsRock Master SLI x470, with latest BIOS 4.80. Got around 14.305 points. All auto from BIOS from what I can remember, just XMP profile for 3200MHz on the RAM (2x16GB @ 16-18-18-36-75 1T).

If you're getting similar results in games as in some reviews, I wouldn't look to much into temperature (normally you'll be CPU limited in games well before the processor is loaded to the same extent Cinebench does) or performance differences of 5%+/-. After all that depends per board implementation as well.
 
Impatience got the better of me and I took the plunge.

Initial impressions are really good and definitely cleared up a lot of the frame time inconstancies I was having in newer stuff. Kind of makes my 9900ks look like old hat compared which to me seems like bonkers really.

Though did feel like it was a bit of a hot boy, which I was putting down to using a NH-U12A until I can break apart my other PC. Though using PBO2 Tunner massively brought temps down.

Haven't really had time to play around tinkering yet and outside of XMP have left everything to auto in bios. Do think MSI have some secret sauce in their bios as the only spare memory kit I had lying around is a really old 2666mhz kit from on old X99 system and still managed a 15020 in R23.
 
Damn, PBO2 Tuner is a good shout! Got -30 on all cores and the temperature reduction is impressive, Spider-Man Remastered is heavy on the CPU and temps dropped 10°c from the low 70's to 60-63°c! Similar drop in Cinebench.

It's strange, in those kind of benchmarks it's strange seeing lower results than the 5900X, but in plenty of games I play the exact opposite has happened. A true gaming CPU.
 
I'm waiting too but I don't personally think you'll see any discounts on it.

It's quite niche and one of the best gaming CPU's available; they can continue to charge £350 for it. I suspect its still selling well today (probably even better now) as I assume many with AM4 platforms are electing to delay upgrading to AM5.

If anything, I reckon you might see some discounts on the 5800X, 5900X and 5950X parts.

Wouldn't say no to a 5800X3D at £300 or under though :P
