Amazing cpu runs great with my 5070 could not wish for better

It is one of the best processors I have tried and has very good performance.

Beastly CPU. No problem overclocking it either. 5.4gHz. Big upgrade from 12700k.

Every game runs effortlessly and shaders are lightning quick, AMD is the best!!

This CPU is definitely the king for its price at the moment. Bought it on sale which made it even better!

This CPU runs like a champ I have had no isses with this cpu since upgrading. It runs like a beat.

Great CPU runs cool with my set-up. I get high FPS in muultiplayer games.

Best cpu out as of 2025. I don’t see anything taking its place anytime soon.

pretty nice, this is pretty good, nice, works well

First time buying team red and it did not disappoint me!

I usually have gotten higher end CPUs in my computers in the past but got one of the cheapest AM5 processors when I built my current PC. Pretty major difference switching from a 8400F and now my computer is running like I had hoped when I built it. x3D chips have great performance in games but you definitely pay more for them. Not a great value for average users or people with a tight budget, but I like gaming and really wanted a better CPU for the CPU heavy games I play and do not regret it. Haven't seen anyone happy about paying more for x3D now that I think about it but don't think I've seen anyone say they want to go back to regular CPUs after using one. The 9700X beat the 7800x3D in the CPU games I play, while costing less, so I spent some time weighing if x3D was worth it. What made me switch to the 9800x3d was seeing the performance between 9700x and 7800x3D in the games I cared about was like +3%, so paying ~150 more for the 7800x3D wasn't really worth it. But the 9800x3d beat the 9700x by +15~18% in the games I wanted to upgrade for. Was worth the extra cost, but makes me feel like the 7800x3D is a bad value despite still being a great CPU. Depending on what you want, worth looking at the 9600X and 9700X.

The Ryzen 7 9800X3D is an absolute monster of a CPU, especially for gaming. Performance is incredible—frame rates are consistently higher and noticeably smoother, even in CPU-heavy games. The 3D V-Cache makes a real difference, and everything feels faster and more responsive overall. It runs impressively cool and efficient for the level of performance it delivers, and pairing it with a good cooler makes it even better. Whether you’re gaming, streaming, or multitasking, this CPU handles it effortlessly. If you want one of the best gaming CPUs available right now, the 9800X3D is worth every penny.

I play at 4k exclusively and usually run at highest settings. I have a 5090, so why not. Everyone always say, even the tech experts, that CPU matters a lot less at 4k, so I just sat with my 13700k and the 5090 was still doing good. Well, I always had it in the back of my mind, that I was possibly not getting the most out of my 5090, and of course, wanted the best of the best. So, I bit the bullet and just got the 9800x3d and see if there was a difference. With the 13700k and 5090, I was still getting great FPS at 4k, most times over 100fps. Now with the 9800x3d, I'm hitting my monitors 160hz refresh rate with the same settings.... I never thought the 13700k was holding back my 5090 THAT MUCH, but it sure was. Sometimes those reviews just don't do a product justice, and for some reason they always do them at 1080p. But even at 4k, a CPU upgrade STILL can make a massive difference. I'm definitely not looking back and it's great to be back with AMD. And I'm cooling this with the Corsair Link Titan 360 and while gaming it keeps this bad boy at 50c and it goes into the 60s when downloading and installing.

The best gaming CPU on the market bar none. Lightning fast, runs cool, and good price point. Make sure to enable X3D gaming mode in your BIOS.

Here’s a detailed, realistic review for the AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D, based on what’s expected from AMD’s X3D series and what’s currently known about its performance and positioning in the market: ⸻ AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D Review Exceptional Gaming Performance with the Power Efficiency of Zen 5 Overview: The AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D is AMD’s latest addition to the highly acclaimed 3D V-Cache lineup, built on the Zen 5 architecture. With its stacked cache design and refined power efficiency, this CPU is tailored specifically for gamers and enthusiasts looking for top-tier frame rates without needing to step into the more power-hungry Ryzen 9 territory.

It's an awesome chip. Runs fast, ever so smooth, no lag or stuttering. What I think impressed me the most though is how cool this thing runs! At full settings on any game, i cant get it past 54° after long gaming sessions. I only have a 2 fan, 280 mm CPU cooler on it and no rear exhaust fan. Pretty future proof too. Very pleased with this purchase all around.

The Ryzen 7 9800X3D is an absolute beast for gaming and high-performance tasks. The 3D V-Cache makes a noticeable difference in frame rates, especially in CPU-heavy titles. It's cool, efficient, and delivers top-tier performance without breaking a sweat. Paired it with a good GPU and the results are phenomenal — ultra settings, smooth gameplay, and minimal latency. If you're building a high-end rig or upgrading, this chip is worth every cent. AMD knocked it out of the park with this one!

The best gaming CPU in the market, you might think the upgrade in L3 cache might not be worth it but it makes a HUGE impact. For an example, Tarkov loading time was reduced from my old cpu (i5 12th gen) from 60 seconds to 15, my frames also increased my 40 from 90-100 up to 140-170. The frame bump is insane on every game i play. Only thing i would say is that you shouldnt turn on X3D mode in your BIOS, honestly it kills the overall performance.

Similarly to what you might’ve seen on YouTube this thing is a unit. Got it on sale after upgrading to 9600x. Performance in some games are very dependent on the game itself (HD2 10ish fps difference) burin CSHO my frames have increased by nearly 100 with much better 1% lows.

Even from coming from a 5800X3D CPU, this was still a huge leap forward. The 9800X3D when paired with a capable GPU will not disappoint you. I’ve had zero issues whatsoever. Thermals are great, and this things just eats up whatever CPU intensive games you throw at it.
