I feel you are correct but those 5900's are hard to findIf you're currently using the 3900X then I'd just go for a 5900X or maybe wait for the summer refresh.

Just got my order of the Ryzen 5800x, for some reason there was also a pack of Haribo inside

Is that normal? lol

Is a CMOS reset required when swapping out one CPU for another or is it just plug and play?
Got my 5600x in at the moment but my 5800x is on its way...board is MSI X570 Tomahawk.
just need to find a mobo to go with it now
Thanks, looks like a good candidate actually, can anyone confirm who's ordered one whether it works with the 5800x out the box or will it need a bios update?The MSI X570 Tomahawk gets my vote

I'm happy to give it a go myself, have only just delved into overclocking my cpu!! It can't be anymore difficult than that, I'm looking forward to seeing the gains from my i7 6700k though, the 5800x looks like a great cpu@Furryhobnob Oh and you can ask OcUK if they can update the bios for you before it ships, It will cost you though but not sure how much![]()

Would I be mad to change a 3900x for a 5800x? I'm only doing light production work so the extra cores are not needed?
Should just drop right in, it will probably reset the BIOS by its self.
I did that yesterday. I was sick of waiting for a 5900x and only gaming, so the 8 cores should be fine. Doing a custom loop soon so timing was right to do it all at once, and eBay has a no fees weekend coming up. Not a massive difference, but it seems like the 5800x will be a bit more stable when targeting 120fps.
I see you have the 5800x with the 2070 Super, just wondering have you noticed any improvement in games or general windows use ? not sure what CPU you had before
I myself have i7 6700k with 5700xt and debating to upgrade to 5800x but with no GPU stock will have notice much improvement in games as will be still use the 5700xt? maybe better fps lows ?
or just wait it out till GPU stock comes in and maybe CPU prices might improve but the 5800x at £380 is tempting also looking at the MSI MAG X570 Tomahawk Wifi to go with it
Thanks
I came from a Ryzen 3600, Mostly no, but in a couple of games yes, Hell Let Lose and Star Citizen, they seem to be very core heavy games.
The 6700K is pretty old at this point, i think you will see better performance, a Ryzen 3600 is already better.
IMO a 5800X is unnecessary, a 5600X would do the job just as well. I only upgraded to a 5800X because after a four core 4690K to a six core Ryzen 1600 to another six core Ryzen 3600 i fancied an 8 core this time, a 5600X would have done the same job just as well, but, shiny....
Thanks I would like 8 cores minimum and looking to keep it for good few years 2-4 ? maybe 1-2 gpu gen upgrades in that time
