I'm mulling this exact upgrade at the minute, although with a 4080 I think I might be even more CPU bottlenecked than you. Glad to hear you noticed a difference. That's useful info, thank you.

If it's any help I run one with a 4090 and it's been brilliant. Certainly don't feel bottlenecked at all especially when dialling up the details on everything at 1440p 280hz.

Most of these benchmarks which you'll have seen will be running the 5800x3D with no PBO enhancement applied. The fact that you can put these chips pretty easily to -30 means when there's load (especially when gaming) you should get consistent max clocks at all times.

1% lows were noticeably better when I switched and that was only from a 5700x.

I went ahead with this, so I'm now running a 5800X3D. It's a big step from the 3700X. Approx 50% better according the Cinebench, but also I've noticed that some stuttering in games is gone.

I've been playing with the voltage to bring temps down. Running at 73C with a -0.06375V offset. I'll do some more tinkering over the weekend.

Have you looked at the curve optimizer easy way to reduce voltage

​

Was going to say the same, I'd CO first rather than straight undervolt.

Thanks. I haven't spent much time on it yet. Will have a play over the weekend though

Just about to join the club I've got a a 5800x3d coming upgrading from a 5600x, how's best to set this up for gaming?.. Take it I'll be OK with - 30 negative offset, is there any pbo setting to adjust to like the 5600x I did +200?

think you just do the offset tbh

 

[GilesGuthrie]

I did the -30 offset. Temps down 10 degrees, it boosts to 4400MHz and holds there.

good eh? found much the same

I've got mine running 3800/1900 Fclk too which has surprised me!

 

[StephenJ]

Anyone got any tips on settings for PPT, TDC, EDC ? , running with -30 curve

 

[BS Dave]

Stock. However I did have to have to bump something in the bios because of the Ryzen power reporting bug. My unify over reported power so I had to adjust

I've got CPU VDD Full scale current at 225

 

[uscool]

Just -30 did play with ppt, tdc, EDC all it did was lose performance so gave up with it couldn't lower power anymore, just left it -30 and forgot about it

Have done the same -30 and auto

 

[Kirby Wurm]

The only tweak I made to mine when I bought it a year ago was setting -30. Reduced temps by 10°c and runs at max clocks whenever needed. It's a great CPU and will allow great FPS with any current card (of not the best).

If you're only gaming and already have an AM4 mobo then it's a no-brainer should you be looking not to spend much.

Hardly scientific but I dropped all of those voltages by 10 and that shaved another few degrees off without impacting performance.

If you really want to you can try the settings in this video.

Personally just set your offset and leave it be but here is the video if you want to tinker further:

For anyone using an older AM4 chip that's considering upgrading to a 5800X3D, Techspot have just done a good round up of various games benches vs the 3700X.

Those are some very impressive performance gains.
