Yeah I plan to buy one when there is stock again and undervolt it like a b**tard

My plan too and pair it with an undervolted 7700XT. Should be great for an efficient 1440p gaming machine.
Thanks Matt I’ll have a look at this tonight.
The Artic doesn't fit in the case with the RTX 3080
I went from a 3600 to a 5800X3D and found my 120mm Cooler Master AIO couldn't really handle it. I went air cooling this time for simplicity and bought a Deepcool AK620. Plenty of reviews on YouTube of it. Very easy to install and keeps it under 80c under full cinebench loads, most of the time mid 60s when gaming and 30-40c idle. It's also pretty quiet and doesn't cost much, I got mine for £50.
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...

Amazing. Thank you for this. I got the same results running the -30 curve.Is that with the 5800X3D? If so that's decent tbh as they run warm under heavy all core loads but much cooler for gaming.
I've been using PBO2 Tuner to run a -30 Curve Optimizer on all cores of my 5800X3D and it has brought power usage and temperatures down significantly. Debug.7z - Google Drive
Using PBO Tuner 2 I brought stock CB23 temps down from 83c to 69c and performance went up using -30 on all cores. YMMV.
It's most odd having such a fast CPU and reducing the already low power draw by 25W or so for no loss in performance.

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

Haha I'm back!6 posts in 11 years, impressive lurking
I forgot and then remembered that I had made an account all that time ago.
It's not a huge difference but DDR4 is pretty cheap these days, I would add another 16GB 3200mhz stick to run 32GB dual channel. It's kind of imbalanced to be running a 5800X3D and 3080 with 1 stick of RAM and having 32GB RAM gives a bit of extra headroom. The difference between 1 stick and 2 is bigger than dual vs single rank (which I would agree isn't really worth worrying about much). Ideally one would sell the 16GB and add a matched pair but that's not strictly necessary,

Out of interest why the 5800x 3d over a 5900x which is more available

Gaming would be the reason to get the 5800X3D. It is the fastest and most efficient gaming CPU at this time.

Yup, the 5800X3D is better at gaming.
Games can’t really make use of the extra cores of the 5900X.

This makes me tempted to grab 5800X3D again. My 5900X is perfectly up to the task right now but I plan to keep this system for at least another 3 years and I'm certain the differences between the two CPUs will be a lot more apparent in a couple of years and a couple of gens of gfx cards ahead.
But on the other hand DDR5 will drop in price and the £130 the X3D would cost after selling the 5900X would eventually cover a new mobo, or the next tier of gfx card. I may see how much money I have left at the end of the month after my family holiday and see what's what.
Currently have the 5900X scoring 9400 in CB23 as I've had to disable the second CCX and set max clocks to 3.6GHz while I await a replacement AIO pump. By the end of the three weeks it'll take to arrive running it at full whack will feel like an upgrade in itself!

I think I've decided to wait until Zen 4 to see the lay of the land then. I'll stick with my 3900X for now, if the 5800X3D were readily available then this may have been rather more difficult.

Undervolting seems to be the way forward with most hardware nowadays.

What settings are you using on the 'limits' tab? Pity it has to be done manually on each boot

Default settings, only thing I changed was -30 on each core.What settings are you using on the 'limits' tab? Pity it has to be done manually on each boot
