I absolutely love this CPU. Has super great gaming performance and draws so little power to do so. Its rated at 120 watts but under a gaming load it hovers around 55w at most.

The value you get out of this chip is insane. As a point of reference, I'd upgraded from a 3700x. My GPU is a 3080ti, so in most newer games I was CPU limited. I easily see an increase of 20% to even 60% (!!!) in my frame rates when gaming. I play a lot of Star Citizen, the primary driver for this upgrade, and I went from an average of 15-25 FPS with terrible 1% lows to getting a minimum of 45 FPS and even up to 100% outside of the city areas. If you're a couple generations behind, run to get this chip! It is well worth it.

I was nervous to install this due to the Reddit reviews about the pins being damaged on the back. Whoever wrote those reviews obviously did not follow the instructions for installation. It was super easy. My husband is loving this system

This is an upgrade form me from a 4th gen Intel i5, so yeah ... I noticed an improvement. The cpu itself is surprisingly weighty, but installation is a breeze.
I was pleasantly surprised to learn that a lot of the coolers for the AM4 socket also work for the AM5 socket. Best Buy does not reflect this on the website when using the filtering options, but if you inspect the cooler information on the page you can see it. So yeah, great value on display.

I upgraded to this from the 12 core 24 thread 7900X that I purchased at the release of the Zen 4 architecture. I normally play Rust on PC so I wanted to maximize frame rates. The 7800X3D was the natural selection and I've regretted absolutely nothing.
Paired mine with some fast high-quality DDR5-6400MHz RAM and I am set!

Great CPU. I tried to stay away from it since I do not do any hardcore gaming but during one of my builds I needed it needless to say Im in love with it. Does everything I need done with no problems. Plus the little gaming I do, do is that much smoother and great do to the 3d cache. It does run a bit hot but well within parameters of what is should .

This is a great processor when installed on a Gigabyte b650 AORUS Elite AX motherboard. Since I'm not using it for gaming, I'm not using the overclocking utility for the processor that comes with the motherboard, but it's nice to know that I can if I choose to do so. But as it is, with 128GB RAM installed, it serves my everyday purpose just fine and hopefully will continue to do so for years to come. One slight disadvantage is that the RAM only runs at 3600 MHz out of its 4800 MHz rating, since it is a 4-RAM stick configuration.

Solid gaming CPU. Upgraded from a 5800x and this was a jump in performance for gaming. Didn't see a huge increase in 3D Mark scores, but definitely can see an increase on FPS for all games played so far. With AM5 adding increased speeds for memory, M2, PCIE all help to improve FPS and load times. Been using almost daily for a month and only with no issues. Compared to the 5800x this CPU runs much cooler. Rarely hear the CPU fans running at full even under heavy loads.
