Another low price AMD CPU and beating the previous deal by a decent amount. This is a good option for those still on the AM4 platform who want to upgrade to something with a bit more oomph. Unfortunately there's still no reasonably priced 5700X3D's around.

It has 8 cores, 16 threads, base clock of 3.4GHz, boost clock of 4.6GHz with a default TDP of 65W. Perfectly fine for multi-core tasks and gaming.

    Ah man. I got excited as the alert pinged me for this and I saw x3d in the email but it was just a comment about there being none hahaha. Good deal though!

    • darkkito on 11/03/2025 - 22:47

      I'm holding out too for x3d, very sad I didn't get to jump on any last time

    26000 CPU Mark for $156 is wild. It's 30% faster than my E5-2686V4 (18C, 145W). GPU market may be cooked but CPUs are doing OK.

    • The Fat Cat on 12/03/2025 - 03:18

      Is that faster single or multicore performance or both?

      • Doge on 12/03/2025 - 07:56

        5700x is 87% faster in single thread

          E5V4 is much older CPU than AMD ryzen 5 series

  • smarikoe on 11/03/2025 - 23:08

    any opinions as to whether its worth upgrading to this from a 3600? I'm planning to also upgrade my graphics card to a 9700xt but didn't want to stretch my budget to ugrading to a newer AM5 cpu/motherboard…

    • relentless on 11/03/2025 - 23:11

      If its mostly for gaming with the 9700xt then the x3d series would be better suited.

      • HaydenDN on 11/03/2025 - 23:28

        I am in the same boat, but im rocking a 3600 and a 4070 TI. deciding to just jump on this or wait for the X3D.

      I updated from a 3600 to a 5700x a year or so ago. Well worth it for me, a noticeable difference in performance across creative apps like Davinci Resolve and Unreal Engine.

      I did this upgrade to pair with my 3060ti and am very happy, everything runs alot smoother and gained maybe 15-30% but i would probably get the 5700x3d now

    Does anyone know the typical temperature of this CPU? I'm planning to build a quiet PC using the Dan A4-SFX case and Noctua NH-L9a heatsink. However, my previous attempts with this case resulted in noisy fan operation. Any advice?

    • bunnybash on 12/03/2025 - 00:42

      are you using the PC for anything that requires all the cores?
      Are you using case fans?
      Some fans are noisy no matter what you do… are you sure it was the CPU fan not the GPU fans?
      There are too many variables to answer your initial comment

      • beefmaster on 12/03/2025 - 09:32

        My wife only use the computer for Microsoft Word and YouTube. From my previous build attempt with fresh OS install, I noticed CPU spikes every few hours due to patching scans, CTF Loader, and Service Host, which caused loud fan noise.

        She doesn’t need an 8-core CPU for her usage, but it would be nice to have in case I decide to repurpose the system.

    • trevbreak on 12/03/2025 - 00:53

      Depends on the cooling used.

      I'm running one on a custom water loop on a single 280mm x 45mm rad shared with a 3090 and it hits peaks of just over 60c leaving PBO to do its thing.

      It's a 65w tdp chip - anything would cool it fine.

    • BROKENKEYBOARD on 12/03/2025 - 08:57

      Do you use a fan duct?

      • beefmaster on 12/03/2025 - 09:35

        No, previous attempt I did not use fan duct.

        I will be using a fan duct on the next build.

      Are you adjusting your fan curves? I've got a 5800x3D which can run pretty hot, and recently upgraded to noctua case fans (2 intake, 2 exhaust). And I have a noctua cpu cooler. Noctua can run extremely quietly, but you still need to adjust curves appropriately and also to my surprise have regard to cable placement (big fat power cable to mobo behind fan can create turbulence/whine) as well as not screw the fans in too tight (can create whine!).

      I've no experience with SFF but I'm assuming that might make it slightly more challenging to make it quiet.

      My case fans all run at different speeds, but at idle case fans are going at about 400-500rpm and CPU temp is around 50 degrees Celsius, depending on ambient temps. Fans ramp up as CPU gets hotter, but the curves I have are not stepped aggressively. I.e., they just go to a different speed depending on temps, rather than ramping up and down to match temps as that can cause noise.

      But with these fan curves I have a finally managed to achieve a silent running system when web browsing, and relatively quiet system when under load.

      I use fancontrol to set the fan curves. Which is free and brilliant.

      https://getfancontrol.com

      Allows you to match different fans to different sensors if you want, but also allows you to set separate curves for each fan on the fly. Which is handy as having 2 adjacent fans at the same speed can cause resonance and noise as well. And you don't have to dig around bios to do it.

      Anyway, it can be done! Good luck.

      • beefmaster on 12/03/2025 - 11:57

        Thanks for the lengthy input.

        No, I have not tried adjusting fan curve. Was hopping it will just work,

        I will give it a try once I put something together. I really want to use the Dan A4-SFX case that have been in the box for many years.

        • huggsymersh on 12/03/2025 - 12:44
          +1

          oh well you're in for hopefully a nice surprise.

          Manufacturers of motherboards have no idea what CPU you are going to put in. So by default the fan curves that are factory presets are needlessly aggressive. They will tend to optimise cooling over quiet. As it's better to err on the side of keeping a CPU cool at the expense of noise, than to let it have to reach its thermal limit.

          You can buy the most expensive and quietest Noctua fans but unless you adjust fan curves it will run them at a high and noisy RPM and you may as well get cheap fans. But some of the more expensive fans have the capacity to push more air at lower rpms and with less sound, and can be tuned so they only make noise under load.

          Also, just as important is a decent PSU that has a zero RPM mode. That is, the fan doesn't kick in until a certain wattage is reached. If you don't have one of those then there's not point trying for quiet case fans as the PSU fan is always present. Corsairs RMx range have zero rpm operation but there are many others too.

    I grabbed a 9070 XT the other day but still have a 3600 would this be a good option or should I drop the cash on upgrading to AM5? Seems like its at least $800 vs this only being $160 but quite unsure. If anyone has any advice I'd appreciate it.

      i agree with jake wait for a deal on the 5700x3d
      what psu do you have? the 9070xt needs an 850w if I am not mistaken.

      • Don't mind selling old parts often (or FOMO): get this
      • Best solution: resist the CPU upgrade and realise the GPU improvement is far bigger than the CPU upgrade and is good enough already
  • scotty on 12/03/2025 - 07:32

    Currently running a R5 3500X on my desktop and thinking of upgrading to this. Works it be a straight forward upgrade, ie would the stock fan from the 3500X be sufficient?

    • Clear on 12/03/2025 - 08:23

      How good is your airflow? The wraith stealth would work but it may struggle if you're pushing the CPU hard under higher workloads.

      • scotty on 12/03/2025 - 10:27

        How good is your airflow?

        Not sure. 2x 120mm fan in the front of the case. Rarely throttle with current 3500X & stock cooler. Not too keen spending more for an aftermarket cooler. Might just grab this one, use existing cooler and see how it goes.

        • Clear on 12/03/2025 - 10:33

          Should be fine with that setup. If you find it's throttling you can increase the fan curve on the cooler.

          Otherwise we might need some dirt cheap Jonsbo/CoolerMaster/Deepcool.

          Actual user experience - 5700X with Wraith Stealth

          His conclusion is that it works well even with PBO if you don't care if the CPU sometimes can't hit the max boost.

    • BROKENKEYBOARD on 12/03/2025 - 08:56

      It's a 65W CPU, worst case scenario it'll be a little loud.

      • netsurfer on 12/03/2025 - 11:26

        65W is without PBO, once PBO is turned on, it could go above 65W TDP. An user with that setup tested PBO (see my comment above for that user's experience), he did manage get the CPU to hit the thermal limit quite quickly with PBO turned on (but that's running CPU stress test).

        Care about PBO (exceeding 65W TDP) not getting thermal throttled, get a cooler that supports 100W TDP or better. Don't care about PBO, wraith stealth cooler is fine (CPU never runs at top boost clock speed anyway).

        • BROKENKEYBOARD on 12/03/2025 - 11:40

          Yes, if you have a low end cooler then don't overclock. If anything you should do the opposite like cap it to 4Ghz and -20CO or something.

    • netsurfer on 12/03/2025 - 09:44
      • Best to change to a better cooler to reduce the chance of any thermal throttle.
      • Watch out for the cooler you get. Some may require removing the plastic brackets next to the CPU socket. You probably can remove the backplate for the CPU socket with most PC cases, but do check (otherwise, get a CPU cooler that doesn't require removing the plastic brackets and the backplate).
      • If you are using stock cooler (and have never re-applied thermal paste / still on original thermal paste), best to let the PC run for a few minutes (so the thermal paste melts a bit) and then remove the stock cooler (to avoid bending the CPU pins).

      I found my 5700X runs cooler than my 3700X (I am using the cooler from 3700X), but the fan appears to run at a higher rpm earlier (at a lower CPU temperature compared to 3700X).

    • sneakydean on 12/03/2025 - 10:39

      This will work fine, just make sure to replace the thermal paste when you do the upgrade. and make sure your BIOS is updated to support the CPU before you do

  • LivinginEastwood on 12/03/2025 - 12:46

    Is it worth to upgrade (mobo and cpu) intel i3 7350K to this? I'll have to buy a new mobo as well obviously.

    • Dyl on 12/03/2025 - 13:12
      +2

      This is an older model, if you're upgrading go with a later series and AM5 mobo. I would recommend a 7500F if you want to spend around this amount, similar benchmarks (slightly faster). Alternatively there's many later models available at a higher price, but at this price point 7500f on sale is the equivalent essentially.

      This is more just the end of the AM4 era; only really good if you already have an AM4 mobo

    • netsurfer on 12/03/2025 - 13:56
      +1

      Cheapest A550 mobo is $119 (Cheapest A520 board is $89 currently if you really want to cut cost and don't mind PCIe gen 3 max only). You also need to buy a new CPU cooler / fan. You could re-use your DDR4 RAM modules if you like.

      Worth it? Probably not. However, if you are really keen to upgrade your PC and you really want to keep the cost down, it is an option.
