Customer Ratings & Reviews

Its an excellent cpu, fantastic speeds, if youre gaming i couldnt reccomend anything better. Im using this with an nvidia msi 5080 and i can play anything at extremely high refresh rates. And for cpu heavy games this is unbeatable. I purchase it while it was on sale, but i would have even at regular price.

One of many parts to my new build that runs smooth, fast, quiet, and cool.

Amazing processor, beyond impressed! I had a 7800x3d so the gains arent as massive coming from a different processor but where this excels in an upgrade is the temps, 1% lows, single core performance and overall productivoty upgrades. I went from 67c gaming to 54c. Hogwarts legacy i would have 1% low dips below 60fps at 3440x1440p with an RTX 4090. This would cause stuttering, especially in the castle. This has aleviated that and dips arent below 80 now. This processor has been exactly what all the reviewers are praising. If you have the cash this should be your next cpu if your a gamer and want the best of the best!

This is a super fast processor, great use for pushing those high fps modes in both 4k and below. You can also use slower cheaper Cl Timing ram as it does not need access to data that often.

I recently upgraded my PC from AMD Ryzen 7 7700X to Ryzen 7 9800X3D. It is worth every penny and handles CPU intensive games like Escape From Tarkov to Valorant so well. Plus, it can handle 6000mHz 32GB RAM kit from Corsair and also able to compile shaders a lot quicker than my 7700X. For video processing, it can able to process much quicker than my old 7700X, when I use Steam in-game recorder and Xbox Game Bar in-game recorder.

This CPU is an absolute beast! upgraded from a 7500F, and oh man, the difference is really nice, specially when you go lower graphics. Overclocked to 5.35 MHz, and curved optimized it, with motherboard power limits. didn't go over 85 Celsius on a full load for over 30 minutes on a 240mm aio. 64GB of Ram Clocked at 6000MHz CL30. cinebench R23 score was 23773. which for me, is way more than enough. if you have a chance to grab one, and you have minimun a 4070 Super. you won't regret it.

The Ryzen 7 9800X3D is simply outstanding for gaming. The 3D V-Cache makes a huge difference in competitive titles like CS2 and Warzone, delivering high and stable FPS. Beyond gaming, it also handles daily tasks and productivity very well, with efficient power usage and good temps when paired with a solid cooler. A perfect choice for anyone who wants longevity and top-tier gaming performance.

What can I say about this processor that you probably already didn’t know. If you’re looking for this specific processor, then you’re doing it for the gaming. Now sure the next level that’s come out l just squeaks it out just barely but realistically you get this right here for this price you’ve got an incredible build. Put this together with an NZXT H9 flow, along with a 5080 Nvidia… two M.2 8 TB SSD, with 32 gigs of RAM and you’re off and running. Of course I added a corsair icue link Titan 360 radiator with LCD screen.. This with the MSI Tomahawk B650. It’s gonna be great. I did wish that the secondary M.2 was the five rather than the four but the speed is still gonna be fine.

Best CPU money can buy, temps are perfect, performance is phenomenal, definitely worth the investment

Excellent cpu for my gaming setup. Coupled with my aio cooler temps rarely get above 65c

This is the best gaming CPU I think money can buy. It handles editing, gaming, and anything I want to run with extreme ease, also easily tuned in the AMD app. This is the top of the line gaming CPU and it lives up to the hype. Also easy to install, a little scary to click in moving to AM5 from AM4, but works extremely well.

Best gaming CPU! I had the 7700x prior, went to 7800x3d and saw this was in stock for just 50 dollars more. i see huge 1% low improvements, runs cooler then the 7800x3d never reached above 73C on peak load stays in between 60-70C when gaming monsterhunter wilds on ultra. Never have stuttering issues, getting 28K score in timespy benchmarks as well. HIGHLY Recommend

Pro: - Much bigger uplift than what reviewers show over the 7800X3D with the right memory tuning. - Easy to boost to 5.45GHz all-core with Curve Optimizer. - Memory Context Restore now works with Power Down Mode disabled. The 7000 series can't do that. Con: - Can be hot to concentrate 160W on this small, single-CCD CPU. 120W is very cool with much better efficiency. Reviewers used DDR5-8000 with very slow EXPO timings which masked its potential. If your 9800X3D can do 2200MHz FCLK and DDR5-8000 with buildzoid's Hynix timings, do it. It'll surprise you with its improvement over the 7800X3D in competitive games like CS2. As far as I've seen, it's much more likely to stably do 2200MHz FCLK and DDR5-8000 with the 9000 series compared to the 7000 series. If you can't run 2200MHz FCLK stably, then run 2000MHz FCLK to synchronize the memory controller and the infinity fabric. I gained over 58% in 1% low FPS compared to the 7800X3D.

Excellent processor. Stays cool under load after undervolting and runs games very well.

Amazing CPU for the price point when I bought it on black friday deals, it was around 449 dollars. This CPU pairs amazing with my 5070 12GB card. I get 240 fps stable in games like Apex Legends and Fortnite. As well as any older title Call of Duty. It has amazing ray tracing and lighting fx and I havent seen a lot of the older games I play look as good as they do now. It just feels amazing, I also use this CPU for music production of FL studio and no stuttering or crashing.

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.

Best CPU for gaming on the market, and it's also strong enough to multitask for content creation/streaming! Probably the best overall option for an upgrade if you're a gamer, go with the 9950 if you edit massive sized 4k videos & content, but for gaming in 4k - this is the top tier choice! BestBuy also price matched with me and I got $75 off so another good reason for me

The AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D is one of the most impressive gaming-focused processors you can buy right now. It uses AMD’s advanced 3D V-Cache tech to stack a huge amount of L3 cache on the chip, which boosts performance in titles that demand low latency and lots of data access — especially at high frame rates

I switched from the 5800x3d to this blazing fast cpu about 3 weeks ago. It performs better than 1st gen of the x3d chip. It was very difficult to get, and when I saw the chance to checkout it took about an hour. I could believe, I waited that long for the checkout process. So if you happen to get it in your cart, just be super patient and do not leave the line. Beats paying more from other places. I also have it oc at 5400, on heavy loads it peaks at 91° C so make sure you have a sufficient cooler for it. I have 8 case fans and one dual cpu air cooler, so your cooling situation may differ depending on your case, build and room temperature. All in all the 9800x3d is the next best cpu for gaming and streaming shows on pc.

With the 9000 series there is no better option for gaming than the 9800x3d. In my runs it has been about 10C cooler than the 7800x3D. The 9950X3D has more cores but with a gap of 200$ you are better off buying a 9800x3D and using the difference towards better fans or even more RAM.
