    Went all out for my first PC build. This CPU is fantastic, doesn’t get too hot, and just crushes everything I throw at it.

    The best gaming peformance there is right now. Definitely recommend pairing with a mid to high-end b850 or x870 motherboard, 280mm aio and above or high performance air tower cooler. It can run hot in cpu intensive games like battlefield 6 so I recommend undervolting for better thermals and OC headroom.

    If you've never used AMD for a CPU then you are missing out! I would never pick any other CPU for my PC. This CPU is paired with an RTX 5080.

    Not a huge difference over the 7800X3D, but runs a bit cooler for equal or better performance. Am glad I got one while I could though.

    I recently upgraded to the AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D 8-Core Processor, and the performance boost has been phenomenal! My FPS in World of Warcraft shot up by 100 while raiding, transforming my gaming experience. This processor handles everything with ease, from gaming to multitasking, and I’ve noticed a significant improvement in system responsiveness. The 8-core setup ensures smooth performance even under heavy load, and it’s perfect for any gaming enthusiast or power user. If you’re looking to take your gaming to the next level, the AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D is a fantastic choice. The upgrade has been totally worth it for the incredible performance gains.

    If you're already looking at the CPU then you already know. Best gaming CPU on the market instant performance upgrade after installing. If you are not a gamer and you're just looking for a standard and fast CPU you're better off not getting the X3D sku as the lack of cores will not benefit you in tasks other than gaming. There are plenty of other great options out there for that, but for you gamers that like to constantly get the best like I do, definitely a worthwhile upgrade.

    I upgraded from an older budget processor from 2019, so needless to say this was quite the upgrade. This processor handled everything I threw at it, from vivaldi with 40+ tabs, running games on 4K max settings and streaming gameplay on discord without even breaking a sweat. Buy it. You wont regret it.

    It been two months since I put my new computer together just in time before the madness. Best choice of getting this CPU. Old computer was Intel CPU, I'm just amazed how AMD have grown leaps and bounds so I figured it was time for me to switch but I don't know for how long lol.

    This CPU was a gift from my fiancé and it’s been an amazing upgrade for gaming especially and for other programs allowing me to not worry about opening multiple tabs, multitasking, or having low FPS in games. Its been the best CPU I’ve ever had in awhile!

    I was running a 4070 super with my i9-9900K and could tell my cpu was bottlenecking my gpu because my 1% lows were always dipping and causing stutters at those high frame rates @1440p resolution. Ever since upgrading to the 9800X3D, everything has been smooth and snappy. In-Game Benchmark: Black Ops 6 1440p Fidelityfx Competitive Graphics Settings; i9-9900K+4070 Super @167 AVG.
