Purchased an 5800X3D - upgrade advice please

[Nikosnakos]

Hi there,

I'm a bit of a novice PC builder and just need a bit of advice on an upgrade please.
I'm upgrading from a Ryzen 5 3600 to the 5800X3D, it's my first "expensive" CPU I've owned and believe it is going to be a bit of a jump up in terms of heat. I currently have no fans or cooler other than the default that came with the original 3600 CPU and case fan.

Would anyone mind having a look at my set up and recommending a cooler? any and maybe some extra fans? I've got zero experience in this area as I've always managed without.

PSU: 750W Seasonic Focus GX 750 80PLUS Gold, Single Rail, Fully Modular, 62A, 120mm Fan, ATX PSU
Case: Fractal Design Meshify C TG Dark Tint, Mid Tower Computer Chassis
Motherboard: Asus PRIME X570-PRO
Graphics: RTX 3080 Founders
RAM: L HyperX FURY 16GB (1x16GB) 3200MHz DDR4

Bonus if you're feeling really helpful - is it worth upgrading the RAM?


THANK YOU!

Some really great replies here, thanks everyone.

I'm not in a massive rush to install the x3D so I think I'll save a bit and get the DDR4 3600 and Artic Liquid II

Then hopefully sit back for a few years and finally stop stressing about having to source PC conponents!

You do know that the 5800X3D is a limited run and won’t last forever?

if you haven’t purchased it yet, I’d do so.

I've got one here, I just needed a bit of advice for how to get the best out of it. The 3080 heats up enough as it is (about 79/80c) so I knew it was time to finally sort some proper cooling out.

The Artic doesn't fit in the case with the RTX 3080

Nice!

Think I'll have to decide on either a new case or sell the Arctic Water Cooler and get something like that then I think...

Actually I might be saved, I believe you can put the fans on the outside of the case!?

*Another* EPIC Build Montage!!

I'm flying with this now.

Upgraded to the 32GB 3600hz Ram
CPU is working great with Artic Liquid Freezer.

And even managed to sell my 3600 on ebay without being scammed!

Thanks for the help everyone

How much did you get for it, if you don't mind me asking?

£110!

I actually spoke to soon, the buyer has emailed today saying there is a problem with it as his pc restarts after around 30 minutes! Here we go...
