    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.

    Very happy with this cpu. I upgraded from a 5950x so I went down in core count but I’m fine with that. This CPU is the BEST gaming cpu at this time. I was able to really get a lot of extra performance but over clocking it. Would highly recommend if you have the budget for it.

    Got this processor based off of many recommendations and reviews for my gaming PC. It is super quick and works as intended. I haven’t had a chance to tweak the settings and boost it up, but will soon enough. It is paired with an X870 Aorus Elite (need to update the bios before trying to boot), 32GB Crucial RAM 6400m/t, and a RX9070XT.

    The AMD 9700x3D is a absolutely blazing fast game eater, my new build I knew I wanted a RTX 5080 and needed a CPU with the power to match it’s performance, the duo is a monster at gaming and of course can handle everyday computing flawlessly, and more demanding tasks like software compilation / build and coding. Pair it with 32GB of 6400mhx DRR5 ram and it’s unstoppable.

    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

    Ive been a intel gamer the whole time ive been building pc's i decided to go with amd this time and the x3d chips do not disappoint, high fps and seems to be stable when overclocking. This paired with a 5080 is a beast of a rig.

    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

    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.

    Definitely more gaming power than my i9 13900k (not as much but still a gain) ive seen other videos on how some get more or better performance out of them but thats just the luck of a silicon lottery. Great cpu for gaming.
