Say goodbye to CPU limitations with this chip. Eats processor hungry games like Star Citizen and DCS World for breakfast. Make sure you immediately update your bios to the latest version to protect yourself from the infamous melting chip issue. I had a 5900x and 3080. 3080 had to be sent off for repair so I upgraded to the Aero 4070 ti. It was great, but it would not hit my target 1440 ultra settings desired fps. I noticed that most newer games like warzone and last of us would only use 70% of gpu. I decided to upgrade to am5 and get the 7800x3d with all the great reviews. WOW, I could not be happier. All of my games will now use 100% gpu with ease. I now have the 144fps in warzone that I was looking for with all settings ultra 1440 and dlss turned off! The cpu runs cooler than the 5900x while gaming, but can run quite warm when I am using cpu intensive software. Idle it is usually around 40, gaming runs in low 60's and may peak to 70. Using handbrake encoding, it will hit 84 max after an hour of encoding. I have an nzxt kraken 360 cooling it. I am using the Strix X670E-A mb and 32g "2x16" Trident Z5 neo rgb 6000 memory running 6k xmp profile with no issues!

Best cpu to play my games on especially some of the higher end games that require a little more processing power than most

This cpu will run anything and everything you throw at it. Excellent

Ok if you are a gamer and you DONT have an X3D cpu stop what you are doing and get one. These X3D cpu's are a game changer for GAMERS literally. I went with the 7800X3D because of the problems that the 9800x3d was having like failure to boot, no current BIOS and overheating when the 9800X3D was having all these problems I bought my 7800X3D and never looked back, going on 3-4 years and this cpu is future proof and going to easily put another 5-10 years on it

As of July 2023, if you have updated your bios, there is NO issues with this CPU in MY experience. I installed it in a MSI X670e MB with NO issues. I paired it with DDR5 6000 CL30 RAM with no issues. It is EXTREMLY efficient. I tested & played Diablo4, Hogwartz & Fortnite. Avg power draw while gaming was 40w-60w! It uses LESS power & is faster than almost every other CPU. Also, AM5 has a CLEAR update path!

Great CPU if you’re gaming at 1440p or lower and want those high frame rates. Honestly returned this and went with a 7950x instead as I needed more cores for streaming and multi tasking when having OBS and editing videos and photos. The 7800x3d was worse than my 5900x and I really didn’t see or feel the difference in 4k when it came to gaming. I saw slower boot times and some stuttering or cpu blips where it just didn’t like having all the apps and game running at the same time. Stutter galore if you’re in 4k and recording whilst gaming. I’d say go for a 7900x or 7950x if you’re doing both.

Great, powerful cpu. Beats out almost all competition in its price range, if your are looking for a new gaming cpu this should be at the top of the list. Best Buy’s delivery was fast and free.

Very impressive and good price. I definitely recommend it

This is hands down the best GAMING CPU out there for the price. If you game a lot, this is the CPU to get. It outperforms the competition most of the time, while being super power efficient and very cool. (Yes, the blue competitor my win on some games, but while consuming ridiculous amounts of watts and heating your home). This CPU is super power efficient and stays very cool, any good quality air cooler and/or a 240mm and up AIO water cooler will keep it super cool. Games love the extra 3D-Vcache. If you are gaming most of the time this is the CPU to get (its even faster on games than the 7900X3D, because that CPU only has 6 cores with the extra 3D vcache, while this has the full 8 cores with it on the CCD). Get it if you are upgrading to the new AM5 platform and you game a lot. 6000mts is the sweet spot with DDR5 memory for it!

Awesome CPU for gaming. BestBuy price matched as well.

[Employee of bestbuy] Perfect value cpu for the performance you get! I eventually swapped for 9800x3d though

Fast, reliable, performance is excellent - no complaints

At around $449, it offers incredible value for its performance. It's even faster in gaming than some more expensive CPUs, like the Ryzen 9 7950X3D and Intel's Core i9-13900K

Im building first ever pc, i dont have all the parts yet but im excited to build with a really nice CPU

I was bored one day so I decided to purchase this processor to upgrade from AM4. I did not need to do this but I am happy that I did as my gaming performance has very noticeably increased. Best Buy was awesome too because they were able to work with me to price match Micro Center which saved me a lot of travel time. The entire experience was simple and convenient.

This CPU took my PC to where it needed, I was suffering a huge bottleneck and this processor complete solved that I can run any game with ultra settings at 2k and it hardly reaches 50% that’s with other tabs open it has performed tremendously

Fast and cool processor plays exellent with my 5070 overclocked. It has everything i need for 1440 gaming

Was able to shop around and get on AM5 before the RAM price hike and boy am I happy I did a very big upgrade from a 5900X especially when it comes to gaming. Got a great price match making it a great deal!

Was having issies with my ryzen 9800 so i got the 7800 temporarily while I was doing a claim on the 9800. The 7800 worked smooth and flawlessly until my claim was finished. Will use to build a second pc

Amazing chip third best in the world for gaming right now and it’s gotten a whole lot cheaper recently
