You have to adjust ppt, edc, and tdc in bios. Turn it down, same performance, better temps
Yeah their banned seller on slickdeals so best deals go unnoticed.
also had
5900x $494.99
5950x $699.99
Sucks because I've been converting files with handbrake for PLEX, so it's been running 90C almost constantly (until now—recently finished my current batch of films. Over 400 and 13 TV shows all converted!)
5800X all 8 cores are on single chiplet, while on 5900X there are two chiplets each having 6 (functional) cores. Result: the same amount of heat is disipated on smaller area (in case of 5800X) -which makes for cooler much harder job

My 5800x is under a 240AIO with Kryonaut paste in an ITX case with only one additional fan. It will hit 75c with all-core load, and 90c only with benchmark like OCCT. It's a heater, but don't see the need to get rid of it. The fear of heat is mostly a psychological burden with these chips because they are engineered to run at their thermal limit anyway.
I was trying to decide between 5600x or 5800x, and the heat + noise problem of the 5800x has me leaning towards 5600x. I still want the extra cores and performance of 5800x, though.
If Intel was smart, they would release a cpu that is only 3% faster than prior gen because their customers have demonstrated they will pay top dollar for marginal increase.
A Micro Center is eight miles away.
IMO if you have a 3000 or 5000 series right now then no need to upgrade at all until next gen comes out, and that's IF you want to upgrade. Thanks for the post OP!

then again, my old tz77xe3 (2012) never had any of that - pump went on any old fan header. although, TBF, there weren't a whole lot of clever fan profiles back then either.
I do have a lot of respect for air coolers, but efficacy is always inferior to even just decent AIOs except for the high end ones. The old standby Hyper 212+, which is circa 2011 or so BTW, was good but no match in terms of noise and heat dissipation for a good 280 or even 240 AIO. However, the Noctua and other high end air coolers are a different story. It's hard to do a proper configuration with AIOs even in high end modern cases unless both your GPU and CPU are on AIOs (at which point one wonders if traditional WC might be a better choice). Do you pull cold air in? Then you're dumping hot air into your GPU. Do you push out? Then you're trying to cool using hot air from your GPU.
In my own system, I found a happy balance but it isn't pretty. I'm pulling cold air from the top, with a cross current front to back using 140+120mm. Lower down, I have a GPU in another cross current, 140mm in front and out the back.. using two very small 40mm fans. It is a bit peculiar, but at full tilt all-cores benchmarking my temps are <85 CPU and <70 GPU. Best of all, my system is very quiet almost all the time, and even at full tilt it's not any noisier than a your average stock system on idle.
Of course, all my fans are Noctuas and I am using one of the quieter fan profiles on my mb.
