    Runs cool and without issue. It's improved a lot of my games, frames wise. A decent upgrade if you the 9800x3D is just that bit too expensive.

    Amazing performance out of the box. Upgraded from the 3700x. Performance boost was significant! Was way over due for an upgrade as I was cpu bottlenecked for cpu intensive titles I play. Stays very cool with a basic 240 aio nothing wild. I definitely recommend this if you’re in the market for an upgrade and have the funds of course!

    Beast of a cpu for the money. 2nd only to the 9800x3d if you don't want to spend the extra money. I have both and can't tell a difference.

    7800x3d is a beast, my 1% lows were amazing. The CPU does run a bit hot, so you will have to optimize your fans to make up for it. this often goes on sale and best buy was awesome to price match for me. Highly recommend.

    awesome cpu. went from i5 13600k to the 7800x3d. even though it's similar in speed, it made my games way smoother thanks to the huge L3 cache.

    Transitioning from an intel system to AMD does require a fresh windows installation, but once passed that this CPU has performed excellently

    Coming from a Ryzen 5 7600X I saw lower and more stable temperatures. Both were/are being cooled with a 360mm AIO. This cpu rarely hits +70c. This cpu is being used for gaming applications. Performance wise what I saw was a much more smoother gaming experience. Less drops in framerates and faster loading times. This is paired with a RTX 4080 Super, they work great together. This is an excellent cpu, and for its price point it is unmatched. Worth every penny.

    It was finally time to upgrade and this was just the ticket. Massive upgrade and runs well in the updated build. Price was good and haven't had a problem running any games or programs.
