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

Not sure how this will work with the new zen 4 3dx processors if you need 8+ cores but you only have 8 vcache cores. Hopefully it work well but I don’t know and don’t have much confidence either. How will this even work with the 7900x3D having less vcache cores than a 7800x3D with gaming. Will it result in less gaming performance but greater non gaming performance?

Yeah, will be interesting to see. Hopefully AMD's worked extensively with Microsoft to ensure AAA games know which core in which CCX to prioritize
 
For all those cyberpunk benchmark people you can run it again as we finally have dlss 3 now. Just tested it and got about another 100 frames to my benchmark! Pretty incredible stuff
Will give it a go later.

I just picked up a 5800X3D since there was pretty nice 5 monthly payment deal that was available so thought why the hell not. First impressions have been fantastic and I've noticed, especially in Warzone, that the fps is staying fairly static at 138fps (the way it locks Vsysc is bizarre) throughout my gameplay where I would see more variance with the 5700X. So even although the difference is reduced at 4K I have certainly noticed a nice benefit.

Also it's great that in the latest bios for the Asus Strix B550F that the PBO settings are enabled so I've stuck -30 on all cores for now, which seems rock solid and I have some nice low idle clocks/general Windows usage of 38C. (Noctua NHU12-A)

I've just bought a 5800x3d for my 470 prime Pro system as an upgrade from a 3700x. Hardly a essential upgrade bit one I would do at some point so I might as well get more value from it now.

Anyway I have 16GB 3200 RAM and 16GB 3600 RAM running fine together at 3200. Is 3600 still the sweet spot for 5000 series like it was the 3000 series? I'm building PC for my aunt so she can have the 3200 kit if it is worth getting 3600 over 3200 RAM on the 5800x3d
 
Basically, DDR4/3200 vs DDR4/3800 give just +1% more performance at gaming.

The 3D V-Cache just works. The bigger Level 3 cache reduces the amount of memory accesses, so the memory performance become less important.

Scroll down to the gaming benchmarks here:

 
Spent a bit more time with the 5800X3D now and it's soooooo smooth it really is. Warzone for a few hours this evening locked at 138FPS 4k Ultra details, max temp 62/63C and even at that was only for a few seconds at a time before dropping back to 59C.

Being able to dial in the PBO limits on the Strix B550 Gaming has really worked well. I'm genuinely really impressed by how smooth and cool everything is on my PC now.

Also I'm running DDR4 3200 :)

Yes the 5800X3D really shines in Warzone, particularly Warzone 1.

Scroll down to the gaming benchmarks here:

I tested 3200Mhz CL14 vs 3953Mhz CL14 (all secondary timings etc tightly tuned for both) in Warzone 1 on my X3D (before I sold it to @stooeh) and the difference between the two in average FPS was about 5-6%. :)

Hmm, I didn't realise it was so close. I may ease back timings on my RAM, as fair as I can tell it's stable in games but may be responsible for my Radeon settings defaulting every so often.

If there's instability detected in your system, it will restore default settings. If you get it and you are 100% sure there is not instability, try disabling fast start-up in Windows. That has been known to cause some funnies in the past. SSDs are so fast now that fast start-up does nothing anyway.

I'll try disabling fast start-up but I'm pretty certain it's not 100% stable, rather game stable. Not the end of the world as I've saved my OC profile and it's just a few clicks to re-enable, but I may have a tinker.
 
Hmmm I get 4.15GHz across all core when running Cinebench r23 for 74c package temperature and 71c CPU temperature. This is on a 360mm AIO by alphacool Eibaser or something. Is that normal sounding? I'm paranoid that the cooler isn't mounted properly lol

With cb23 run tops out at 79-80c with z73 360 aio very conservative fan curve I also re mounted it few times , cb23 all core mostly stays 4400 with few drops

Not sure what motherboard you have , I have MSI x570 unify in bios can set kombo strike to level 3 which is basically -30 all cores which helped lowered temps increased clocks and scores without -30 it tops out 85c not sure if I lost the silicon lottery or my aio is getting on abit had it now 3 years or motherboard bios is not running it optimally because with older bios it's 75c but no kombo strike in bios

Latest bios cpu package power 116w
Older bios 106w

I do feel the CB run temps are higher looking at what others are getting but in games it seems to be inline what others are getting

Have you got latest BIOS for motherboard installed? My 5800X3D wasn't boosting as intended until I updated BIOS as I hadn't updated for a while with the 5600x I had in previously.
 
I'm on the latest bios for my x470 pro prime and I've just uninstalled the old chipset drivers and put the new ones from (from AMDs site as the ones on the ASUS site was from autumn 2021). I've undervolted by 0.25v and it's now showing an all core volt of 1.18 or so (before it was exactly 1.2) when running Cinebench. Temps are the same and clocks are 100 worse lol.

I see the new chipset drivers don't have a Ryzen balanced power profile. Do I need that?

Edit - the volts have settled at 1.75 so exactly 0.25 less and the clocks are 100MHz down :S

you should be able to do pbo in bios on asus, made big difference to temps , clocks and scores mine settles at 1.166v during cb run not touched anything other then pbo at -30
