    With GPU prices high, graphics cards hard to find and minimal gains over the rtx 40 series, I decided to Upgrade my CPU from a ryzen 7 7700x to the 9800x3d now. Do not regret it for a moment even for 4k high refresh rate gaming. Great uplifts in 1% lows. With the 3D v-cache AMD is dominating Intel in gaming. The one issue I had at first were long POST times with EXPO enabled. It took a bunch of tweaks in the BIOS but now system boots in under 10 seconds and stable with memory at 6000mhz

    Not much to say about this CPU that hasnt been said. One of the best gaming CPUs available currently and my experience has been no different. Solid overclocker/undervolter if you like tweaking a bit to get a bit better performance and lower temps.

    I’m thrilled to share my experience with the AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D 8-Core Processor, and I couldn’t be happier with my choice. This processor has truly elevated my computing experience in several key areas. Installing the Ryzen 7 9800X3D was a straightforward process. Designed for the AM5 socket, it seamlessly fit into my existing motherboard without any issues. The processor’s architecture ensures compatibility with a wide range of AM5 motherboards, making the upgrade path smooth and hassle-free. One of the standout features of this processor is its improved thermal performance. AMD’s decision to invert the CCD+L3D stack in the 3D V-Cache design has enhanced heat dissipation, allowing for higher clock speeds up to 5.2 GHz. Despite its powerful performance, the Ryzen 7 9800X3D maintains efficient power consumption, making it a reliable choice for both gaming and multitasking. Choosing the AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D has been a game-changer for me. Its top-tier gaming performance, ease of installation, and efficient thermal management have exceeded my expectations. Whether you’re a hardcore gamer or someone seeking a robust processor for various tasks, the Ryzen 7 9800X3D is a stellar choice that delivers on all fronts.

    The fastest gaming CPU I have seen. Upgrade from the 7800X3d and saw on average about 10% increase over the 7800X3D. Also productivity gains, around 10-18%.
