I have ordered from this sellers eBay store before, and they were fantastic with their support—even months later when I had requests. Free shipping.

It's worth noting the 5700x3D has only just come out, but at this price it's quite attractive considering—when compared to the 5800x3D—it's 85-90% of the performance for 70% of the price. And also that these CPU's are only really worth purchasing if you're upgrading from an existing AM4 platform, not building new.

OEM tray version, meaning no box is my understanding.

        Worth upgrading to 5700X3D if I'm also on 5600x but play at 1440p? I see benchmarks comparing the 2 processors only for 1080p, none for 1440p. I know the difference in FPS will be less - just don't know how less

          I believe when measuring the performance of a CPU, lower resolutions are more meaningful because at you approach 4k and higher, the GPU becomes the bottle neck.

      You must check your current motherboard's compatibility via its website, and also needing to update your BOIS is extremely likely. You don't need the new chip to do it.

      Other than that, yes it's just a drop in upgrade.

      • alz on 12/02/2024 - 13:55

        Ive got the MSI b450 mortar not sure what bios though

          Safe to say if you've never done a bios update you should do a bios update first.

        • duckduckering on 12/02/2024 - 13:58

          This is your motherboard's CPU compatibility list:

          https://www.msi.com/Motherboard/B450M-MORTAR/support#cpu

          The 5700x3D is supported in the latest beta update, likely be pushed to full release soon.

        • butter on 12/02/2024 - 16:42

          goes without saying, but make sure you upgrade to the latest BIOS (as per duckduckering above) before you upgrade your CPU.

          So upgrade, make sure it's all working with your 3600, then do the cpu upgrade.

        • AllYourBase11 on 13/02/2024 - 07:51

          You can update your BIOS with a USB stick, download a bios from the MSI website. Very simple.

          Depending on your budget situation (and desire to tinker), you might also be able to save your dollars and squeeze a bit more life out of your 3600 by undervolting and overclocking.

          Just did this myself and very happy, games run better and I saved some coin

      • freefall101 on 12/02/2024 - 13:55

        Anyone know how necessary it is for the bios to explicitly support it? My board has updates for the 5600X3D and 5800X3D but they don't list the 5700X3D in the compatibility list yet.

        I assume it'd just work, it's just a lower binned 5800x3d anyway, unless AM4 does weird things if it doesn't recognise the chip?

        • duckduckering on 12/02/2024 - 14:01
          +2

          I would also assume that it's likely to work since it is almost the same chip, but I feel like it's also equally possible it won't work either.

          This chip is almost brand new, and the user above's MSI motherboard only supports it via beta update—give it time and I'm sure it'll be added in the coming weeks. Could always message their support and see if they can confirm it's being worked on.

            @duckduckering: I have a B550 Tomahawk, MSI just added the chip to the compatibility list and set the first compatible BIOS version to the one that added the 5800X3D. Same for the 5600X3D. Though on the other hand the 5600 and 5700X are just downclocked 5600X and 5800X as well, but those didn't work for a lot of people without the BIOS update.

    • BarneyStinson on 12/02/2024 - 13:28

      So long as you have a b450 (with the latest bios) or b550 motherboard. I recently upgraded from a 3600 to a 5700X(Non 3D) and it almost doubled my PCs performance.

        X370 and B350 motherboards should also support it with a BIOS upgrade - they support other 5000 cpus.

      BIOS update and big cooler. The one from your 3600 won't cut the mustard.

  • damianjakov on 12/02/2024 - 13:26

    so for someone who is on a 3rd gen intel i5… how much of a lead in performance should I expect… any reason why I shouldn't stay with intel?

    i appreciate i could go look at cpu benchmarks but that means nothing to me and my level of TQ.

    • duckduckering on 12/02/2024 - 13:32
      +8

      Unless you already have an AM4 board with a Ryzen 2000 or 3000 chip, you are best to buy an AM5 board and CPU.

      Whether it's worth it is entirely dependent on your use case.

      Look at these benchmarks and compare them to your current CPU (or closest equivalent) in their list, and you make the judgement.

      $589 (7800x3D) for the current best available gaming CPU vs $899 for intel's closest competing flagship (14900K) is a no-brainier. Intel does have the edge in some benchmarks so again, it all depends on what you need it most for.

    • RedSky1 on 12/02/2024 - 13:37
      +2

      Well depending on the model of your 3rd gen i5, probably looking at around a score of 5000 on PassMark CPU score. 5700X3D is 26690.

      For basic web surfing the difference will not be huge. For anything that needs a lot of CPU power it's a big upgrade.

    • lachlantula on 12/02/2024 - 13:58

  • Brrrrt on 12/02/2024 - 13:27

    As per GamerNexus tested, there is little point to spend the extra $ for a 5800x3d when it's only offering a 6-10% gain on average across games and other workloads.

    Considering going price for a 7800X3D is 589$ across oz retailers as of this moment, those that wanted to go for a good x3d cpu…should just go that extra mile to AM5 instead of droppin 500 bucks on a last gen chip - even factoring cost of motherboard.

    • duckduckering on 12/02/2024 - 13:29
      +12

      Agreed, this is only really an appealing option for someone already on Ryzen 2000 or 3000 and are not looking to build a whole new PC for the near or forseeable future.

      • Dunnomuch on 12/02/2024 - 20:05

        Hardware Unboxed on YouTube had 3600/5600/5800x3d comparison and it clearly showed that if paired with a highend GPU then you could get a sizable uplift. Once you factor in selling your old CPU, the you could close to 30% uplift FPS on average (with even more on the 1% lows) for like $250.

        But if you don't have AM4 then I think it's only in the same ballpark as a R5 7500F, so I'd probably go down that path as they can be found for $300 (and you'd have clear upgrade paths to Zen 5)

        • Antikythera on 12/02/2024 - 20:30

          CPU usually outlive motherboards anyhow. So much so that retro motherboards keep their value while CPU depreciate. Do low end and older AM4 CPU have any resale value at all these days?

  • xyron on 12/02/2024 - 13:36
    +1

    5700X3D cheaper here than aliexpress - very impressive. Huge bang for buck CPU at $349. I bought a 5800X3D recently second hand for $370 and have been happy with it, although it is a real hot boy compared to the 5800X it replaced. have it under a 360mm Corsair AIO. Definitely wouldn't recommend just dropping it into a system with an older ryzen chip under a stock AMD cooler or a regular 120mm tower cooler without also beefing up your cooling.

    • [Deactivated] on 12/02/2024 - 13:51
      +3

      The CPU is fairly efficient, it just has issues dispersing heat due to the 3D cache layer acting as insulation. So a beefier cooler won't help, its not an issue of generating too much heat that the cooler itself becomes the dispersion bottleneck (ehem Intel). Although its hotter than the usual CPUs, its not anywhere near thermal throttle, and these chip runs at that temperature regularly in laptop for years anyway.

      Undervolting is the best way to lower your temp, the 5800X3D can easily take a -30 all core curve, as they're failed EPYC parts and are easily the highest quality silicon in the consumer lineup. 5700X3D being failed 5800X3D parts might be worse, but its still worth playing around if you really care about it

    • dav3 on 12/02/2024 - 14:16

      Mine is happily churning away under the Wraith Prism that came with my 3700X, the smaller cooler than came with some slower CPUs may not work so well.

      • xyron on 12/02/2024 - 18:03

        Sure, but what does it boost to under a sustained load?

        Mine went from 4.1ghz to 4.3ghz in cinebench (still reaching thermal throttle of 90 degrees) at much lower noise level under the 360 AIO. the wraith prism is a banshee at the best of times.

    I find I need to bump the settings down a bit for VR.

    I can only presume the extra cache in the 5700x3d will be where most of the performance gains come from but would it be a decent upgrade?

    • scrimshaw on 12/02/2024 - 14:00

      You can install an app called FPSVR that lets you work out whether you're CPU bound or GPU bound

      https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=boNRqZBXwhk

      The software isn't free ($5.95 AUD on Steam) but it's useful for situations like these where you need to work out what part needs upgrading first.

      For $349 I think it's a decent upgrade from the 3000 series. You can sell off the old processor too, meaning your upgrade will potentially cost you a lot less.

    • BarneyStinson on 12/02/2024 - 16:47

      If you're going for the 5700x3D I can definitely recommend it as an upgrade, the performance of the 5700x3D is very similar to the new 7700x. Just make sure your motherboard is compatible and the bios is up to date.

    • I3endar on 21/02/2024 - 22:06

      In my view - Yes.

      12 months ago I went from the 3600 to 5600 and that in itself was a worthwhile upgrade at $200. I've just gone from the 5600 to the 5700x3D and even that has been a huge step up depending on the use case. Most benchmarks were about a 50-60% increase (3DMark, Cinebench) but for me it was the improvement in Escape from Tarkov, which benefits mainly from the cache. Nearly doubled my framerate on some maps as the CPU was the bottleneck with my RTX3080@1440p.

      As others have said, make sure you have the right firmware. Mine was about 2 years old and "compatible" but it was stuck at 3.3Ghz, barely pushed 10% utilisation and wouldn't boost. I had to install the more recent "5800x3D Optimised" firmware to get it to behave properly. Can't believe AM4 can still deliver like this.

      In this case, I think looking at the blanket average performance uplift is kind of misleading and inaccurate. Because in some games the performance uplift is huge, but in other games the uplift is negligible.

      For users that primarily play the types of games that benefit the most from the 3D v-cache, it’s absolutely worth it.

      For other users, it’s not.

      So you need to check for which games you play the most.

    Picked up a 5700x3d from this deal, arrived fairly promptly (normal shipping), works perfectly as expected though anything else would just be scam/super unlucky.

    Apart from some minor annoyances with installation and memory speed strait forward drop in upgrade with the latest bios on my x470 crosshair VII hero (thought my board was T topology but it's daisy chain so learned that no the imc on my previous 3700x was not garbage i just have a shit motherboard for 4 dimm)

    As an upgrade from a 3700x its done exactly what I wanted. Paired with a 3080 (ex mining deal), I'm now GPU limited in pretty much everything I play or at high enough frame rates that I no longer care for 1440p which is exactly what I was hoping to get from the upgrade. 1% lows are significantly better though Black Desert is still garbage for frame drops and nothing will ever fix that completely to my knowledge

    Runs fairly cool on a custom loop so maybe ill be able to get a bit more out of it with some bclk overclocking when/if I need the extra performance (not recommended)
