Same at Amazon (includes game as well), plus there are mobo bundles available on the page as well. I can't vouch for if the combos are "deals" though. 🤷 ♂️

For reference, I paid 332 on prime day last July.

This is a great processor. I use it primarily to game and have had great performance teamed with my 6900X. It also cranks out video and audio editing and scores a 42000 passmark even with the fact that I only have 3200mhz ram

Compared to 5800x the 5900x runs cool as ice.
Right now (winter) my 5900x is at 35c idle
The 5800x I installed in Feb 2021 ran at 85-89c idle.
The 5900x has 12 cores in 2 sets of 6 (cooler)
The 5800x has 8 cores as one set of 8 (hotter)
I returned the 5800x.

I regret my 5800x purchase. Idle it's lower 40c. I rather have the 5700x, 3xd, or this 5900x

Better to upgrade my ryzen 5 3600 to a 5900x on a x570 mobo or build a whole new system with a 7900x? I can save a lot more money if I get the 5900x, but I want to be future proof as well for the next 3-5 years. For music production, gaming, video editing, virtualization, and general use.

40c is unusually good for a 5800x
Its a good processor aside from heat (I like a quiet PC with few fans working).
If you want to sell the 5800x its still a popular processor.
I've seen the 5800x going for 200 at Micro Center and the 5700x for 170.
A 7700X3D is out soon but I'm skipping a generation.
The 5000s were the peak of development for AM4 and all my AM4 stuff runs like butter (vs my 2600x and x470 mobo with mystery crashes)

Run your 5800x in ECO mode and you will have the equivalent of a 5700x. Temps will be much better and gaming performance is near identical. Productivity only sees a very small hit.

Something was very wrong if your 5800x was idling that high. Either there was a heatsink mounting issue, the CPU wasn't actually idle, or something else was going wrong. Idle temps should have been in the 40s for most decent coolers.

At the time a lot of people were having the same problems and the 5800 sales were skittish.
One thing I did learn was that the usual method (at the time) of putting a dollop of thermal paste in the center of cpu was not the best.
When I exchanged 5800 for 5900 I spread thermal paste evenly across cpu using thin plastic card.
That worked very well and temps continued to fall as cpu seasoned-in (I was using Mugen 5).
Maybe new chip drivers and bios updates brought temps down from 2020.
Lots of people (reddit etc) had been freaking-out about temps.
The new 7000s also run high temps

"AMD's Robert Hallock has clarified that temperatures up to 90C for the higher-end Zen 3 based Ryzen 7 and 9 parts are quite normal, and won't affect the life-cycle of the chip. Replying to a Redditor, Hallock said that AMD views temperatures up to 90C (for the 5800X/5900X/5950X) as typical and by design for full load conditions.....Having a higher maximum temperature supported by the silicon and firmware allows the CPU to pursue higher and longer boost performance before the algorithm pulls back for thermal reasons."

This CPU is a champ. Dollar for dollar is probably the best CPU you can get.
