AMD RYZEN ™ 7 9800X 3D Desktop Processor (8-core/16-thread, 104MB cache, up to 5.2 GHz max boost)

What can I say? Absolutely fantastic processor! I dont think there's anything out that that can bottleneck this, not for some time yet. Delivery was great as it was handled by amazon, very good value for money as the price for this processor is continuously fluctuating. I paired this with the MSI pro B650-S WIFI motherboard and a corsair H100i cooler. I had to flash the bios for the motherboard (despite it saying 9000 series ready) but this is a very easy process, just requiring a usb drive 32gb or less formatted to fat32, plugged into the correct usb slot, preloaded with the update files from the MSI website. I've had no problems whatsoever with high temps, even while running games like cyberpunk and KCD2 at ultra. This processor is a must have if you're building a gaming PC.

This CPU is currently the best choice for gaming, offering unmatched performance and also handling light productivity tasks with ease. This CPU will stay relevant for many years to come and is 100% worth getting if you are a gamer.I ran a variety of benchmarks and stress tests, and the results were exactly as advertised. The framerates at 1080p are nothing short of incredible, delivering quality gaming experience. Compared to my previous system (i7-8700), the overall responsiveness and speed have been significantly improved.For those wondering about compatibility with the B650 boards, it works flawlessly with my MSI B650 Tomahawk motherboard (no BSOD, no crashes, no errors) making it a perfect choice for a build using the B650 chipset. I couldn't be happier with the upgrade :)

This 9800X3D replaced my totally rubbish Intel Core 9 Ultra 285, that killed itself in under a year, that wasn't overclocked and had a 360 AIO for cooling.What I have noticed while gaming even at 4K using my 4080 Super or my new (and has much better drivers) 9070 is no more 0.01% lows of 1-2FPS or 0.1% lows of 10-30FPS in games like RDR2 TLoU pt1&2, SP, X4, Dying Light 1&2, RE4, Sons of the forest, A Plague Tale 1&2 all on ultra preset etc, and a gain of 40-60FPS in 1% lows and a much, much better gaming experience in general with the 9800X3D. Functionality:Best Gaming CPU Ever Made

Amazing CPU! I recently upgraded from an AMD 5800X, specifically from MSFS 2024. This has massively improved computer performance!

This is a great gaming CPU, pair it with a decent GPU and you can play any title in 1440p or 4K.Working absolutely fine for me!

Not good value, but if you want the fastest gaming cpu this is it. If you're running higher than 1080p though, you will not notice any difference unless you have a cpu older or lower end than ryzen 7600 or intel 12600k as at higher resolutions and graphics settings, the gpu is the component limiting performance.

Recently upgraded my build to the following:CPU: 9800X3DMotherboard: X870E AORUS PROGraphics Card: Powercolor Hellhound 7900 XTXCPU Cooler: Thermalright Phantom Spirit 120 EVOMemory: 32GB DDR5 6000MHZ CL30 XPG Lancer Blade RAMCase: Antec C8 (fanless version)PSU: CORSAIR RM1000x Gold EfficiencyMonitor: Gigabyte 27" 4K UHD 160Hz AdaptiveSync HDR IPS Gaming MonitorTesting was done with settings as they were straight out of the box-only changes were enabling Expo in BIOS.Bought the chip as I succumbed to temptation lol (previously had a 7800X3D). And it's actually made more of a difference than I thought. Playing World of Warcraft, it's made a major difference with the 1% lows. I used to get some stutter with my 7800X3D in certain areas-felt laggy, but since swapping out I'm yet to experience any form of dip in performance. It feels so fluid, just great to play. And Overwatch 2, the perfomance is so much better as well. Baldur's Gate 3 - buttery smooth.Temps are perfectly fine as well, peak being 85 degrees in Cinebench 24 with a score of 1346 (multicore), and the temperature never going above 75 degrees in normal heavy gameplay sessions.Don't have a regret buying this chip-it's the ultimate gaming processor.

Upgraded from am4 setup with a 5700x3d, my fps has basically doubled as a baseline now, with more than double in some games, temps are higher than am4 platform but still not high overall (36-40 idles and never above 54 on full load in games) using thermalright peerless assassin with 2x bequiet 120mm fans.Pair with a 9070xt or rtx 4080/5080 and you are set for years, even with the tier below (7900xt or 4070) this cpu will chew through 1440p at 120fps in pretty much any game, and handle 4k np aswell.
