Cheapest price ever, I think cashback is also available, only downside is slightly long delivery time of 2 weeks, with 5600x now around $540, this is getting better in value

Note: sometimes Amazon just glitch out and price jump to $1000+, just wait half an hour and price will drop back to per title

Price increased from $664.29 to $664.47 on 11:11 16 Dec

    Screw it.. I can’t be bothered waiting for a 5900X anymore, at that price it leaves more money to try and get an RTX 3080.
    I don’t think I’ll notice anything lacking by choosing a 5800X over a 5900X even with VR or steam link (which would use GPU).

    Got it the 5600X for around $480 a few weeks ago, seller was Australia AU though. Be careful buying things from Amazon US, if you have issues with it, Amazon AU won’t help you with a replacement and requires you to send it back to Amazon US for a refund only.

      • Ebaygiftcards on 15/12/2020 - 20:19

        I’d prefer a straight replacement, especially if you bought it at a discounted price. Getting a refund would suck if the price for the 5800x increases and you have to buy it again but at a higher price.

          well that's the recommended way to do it, you can also do this method though slightly dodgy, the outcome is similar enough

          buy one from Amazon AU, then return your faulty one that you got from Amazon US to Amazon AU order

          • Ebaygiftcards on 15/12/2020 - 21:34

      This isn't a real cpu though, just as 3800x was not a cpu anyone ever bought. So you are comparing prices of a cpu that nobody would normally buy with a cpu that nobody bought. When they release 5700x and 5600 everyone that bought the other chips will start crying

      I guess it depends on exactly what you are editing with what applications… Hardware unboxed and gamers nexus do very good comparisons for productivity work… The consensus was 5600x for gaming and 5900x for productivity… I think you can also get away with a 3900X as mentioned above

    • BargainKen on 15/12/2020 - 20:53

      5900 or 5950X if you spend lots of time encoding.

    • [Deactivated] on 15/12/2020 - 21:00

      Go for a 3900x. The xt version is $699 on Amazon UK

      • MalamuteMayhem on 15/12/2020 - 22:58

        Thanks everyone, why the 3900X if it's superceeded by the 5900X?

          +2

          5900X is hard to find in stock, and when it is in stock the prices can be a bit mad. If you can find a reasonable 5900x go for it. But between a 5800x and 3900x - which are a similar price - if you're doing video editing the 3900x has lots more multicore grunt than the 5800x.

      Depends on your cooling, I can run mine at 4.75hghz at 1.425V all cores and temp never exceed 85 on Cinebench r23 30 minutes test and that's a pretty high voltage but then again my cooling is very extensive

      That's just FUD. Refer to Robert Hallock from AMD's response regarding Zen 3 thermals.

      • ThatsCheap on 15/12/2020 - 21:01
        +2

        I downvoted the original comment because of this, it has been stated multiple times by AMD, Zen 3 itself is designed to run that way. The better cooling you give it, the more it will push itself. You put a bad cooler, under full peak maximum load it will hit 90, you put a great cooler, it will also hit 90. But with higher voltages and higher overall core speeds. You can change it around the BIOS to target less temps if that's what you want I believe, but don't be concerned about the chip itself reaching higher temps.

        • Davesday on 15/12/2020 - 21:53

          This ^. I originally had doubts about my 5800x purchase too until I read more into the situation. While it is true that 5800x has more concentrated heat and more power available per core, its nowhere as disastrous. With the latest AGESA 1.1.8.0, AMD introduced Curve Optimizer and I was able to gain another 400-500 points on R23/MT - final score 15753. All I did was test some negative number on the VF curve and I'm not even pushing it yet. But guess what, it still hit 90C and stayed there along with performance increase. That didn't stop until I introduce limits to the temperature and EDC/power values. Now I effectively configured into an undervolted state and still hit stock performance. During gaming it is hitting 4850MHz (probably mix of single threads) and temperature hovering around mid 60s-70s (depending on game) without temp/EDC limits.

        • Whomastadon on 16/12/2020 - 01:11

          So does that mean there's a bare minimum cooler you need to get max turbo speeds ( or max posted speeds )

          • ThatsCheap on 16/12/2020 - 01:39

            @Whomastadon: Yes, and I believe that applies to the whole lineup. And every chip is different too, some chips will be able to post with higher speeds, at lower voltages. It's just silicone lottery. You buy what's in YOUR budget always, you get the cooler you can afford and the CPU you can afford, and just be happy with whatever you get out of them, which is most likely a significant upgrade over whatever you're upgrading from (considering you upgrade every 2 to 5 years depending on each person).

        • ethan961 on 16/12/2020 - 13:25

          This is a great feature to see really, it's great to see chips automatically taking advantage of the headroom that exists in multiple aspects, and within the silicon health profile that it's aware of. It's also good that AMD is learning that they need to communicate more about what behaviour is to be expected after the whole "OMG my CPU is hitting 1.5V" of Zen 2, and has released expected thermal and voltage ranges and communicated more about how these will challenge conventional wisdom. Though, there will always be some resistance like in that video.

              @jdmdavid: The gain you're getting with 5600x is not significant, say you'll go from 150fps to 170fps, sure there is a gain but not that noticeable, and I firmly believe that more cores will benefit you in the long run

              So unless you play competitive fps at 1080p, I would recommend 3700x/3800x for value

    I was just researching what I should get for my next build few hours ago, and came across this.
    I'm aware it's not the same processor, but I would lean towards close temps on both since they both on 7nm arch. Also 5800x runs on slightly higher wattage.

    "For instance, in our testing, the AMD Ryzen 9 5900X reached a maximum temperature of 86°C – and that's with a 360mm AIO cooler attached. Don't worry, that's just how Ryzen is designed. AMD has told us that the new processors may peak around 98°C, and that it's expected. Your processor isn't going to burst into flames."

      The way AMD has made their product stack, they're stilll including the 3xxx series cards as your mid range. The 5xxx series is your top end.

      5600x vs 3700x/3800x for similar pricing is a very real thing now where one is better for gaming and the other is slightly for productivity. 3600 still exists and is probably still the best bang for buck if you get it at the right price.

    should I get this or wait for 5600x to be sub $470?

    I'm having…2600 with x570 mobo, collecting dust

    Also waiting for 6800xt, this feels like forever

      In the same boat with the 2600. This deal got me tempted….

      Depends on your usage and whether you need the extra 2 cores…and how much you love your money =)

      Jokes aside, you're looking at another ~6 weeks before they (especially MSRP 6800 XT) become more widely available (hopefully sooner than that).
