Customer Ratings & Reviews

Amazing gaming processor. Highly recommended. Upgraded from a 13600k, best processor I've had for gaming. Great deal if you can get it on sale.

This beast can handle anything you throw at it gaming wise. Stays cool.

Excellent thermal performance and ease of use. Took less than 2 hours to apply and tune a per core curve optimizer.

This CPU is a gaming beast and has definitely made me a fan of AMD since i got it after my i9 fried itself.

Great money/performance CPU. I never have a problem with it getting hot.

Fastest gaming processor in the world, also first 3DVcache CPU that can be overclocked.

The 9800X3D is hands-down the best gaming processor I’ve ever owned. With its massive 3D V-Cache, it breezes through complex Paradox grand strategy titles like Stellaris, Victoria 3, and Europa Universalis, keeping late-game simulations smooth where other CPUs start to crawl. At the same time, it excels in modern AAA games with high single-thread performance, making it a true all-around powerhouse. Paired with DDR5 and a modern AM5 board, setup was seamless, thermals are manageable with a solid cooler, and efficiency is impressive for the performance on tap. If you want a processor that doesn’t just play games but dominates them, the 9800X3D is the crown jewel of a next-gen build.

This is a must have if you desire the best. This cou outshines anything else in gaming and the temps sit around 50-60c!

The 9800X3D is widely known as the best gaming CPU out there, and for good reason. I upgraded from a 5800X, and I have to say, I was not expecting such an uplift in perceived smoothness during gaming. The 1% lows are just that much better. Only thing to keep in mind with this CPU is that it can run very hot. Running Prime95 I hit 85C with a very good CPU block on an open loop water cooling system with a ton of cooling capacity. During gaming it stays a lot cooler, but if you do a lot of productivity, be prepared to spend some good money on a proper cooler.

The best gaming CPU on the market absolutely love it

No Real major problems with this one!. About the only problems I have had was tpm 2.0 issues with Windows 11 25h2 pro but I personally think it at least could be a microsoft issue to my knowledge anyways!!

Hands down the absolute best cpu from Ryzen out there

Upgraded from 5800x3d and this thing is a beast well worth the money

It's a good chip . Mine runs cool and holds an easy -30 undervolt with a 200mhz boost clock bump. I haven't tried going more agressive. Runs extremely cool compared to the previous gen. Value wise it's whatever. Current market is just painful for pc gaming.

This is a good CPU and it boosts faster than advertised.

As I'm sure you know by now, this is as good as it gets, from a pure gaming perspective. Sure, the 9900x3d is definitely comparable. But unless you're doing more than just gaming, you won't be making up for the price difference!

Improved computer capabilities dramatically, at least a 30% improvement.

Best processor ive owned so far! Stays much cooler than expected with games and design work as well.

Definitely better than the i9 14900k with my 7900xtx

Overclocks nicely. Temps are definitely better managed than the 7800x3d.
