I'd rather pay $20 more and not spend a week driving to and from Microcenter.
I'm so glad I'm a walk away from a Micro Center. I hope it doesn't die out like Fry's.

Word to the wise - these run hot! I have a very well ventilated case and a 280MM AIO and my struggles to stay under 75 degrees during long gaming sessions. I am sure my RTX 3080 doesn't help, but I have my 5800X undervolted and it gets warm.
AIOs want full power to the water pump all the time. Have you checked this in BIOS?

You have to adjust ppt, edc, and tdc in bios. Turn it down, same performance, better temps

I got the Ryzen 7 5800 non-x in a Lenovo Legion, seems fine to me. I heard its only major difference is that is uses less power. Performance is hardly noticeable.

Mine hits 90C too. O11, 9 fans, and the Galahad which is supposed to be a pretty good AIO cooler.

Sucks because I've been converting files with handbrake for PLEX, so it's been running 90C almost constantly (until nowā€”recently finished my current batch of films. Over 400 and 13 TV shows all converted!)
Is the 5800x substantially different from the 5900x? I have the 5900x and mine stays under 75 pretty much all the time except when doing extended prime95 benchmarks. 280aio in pull mode, gtx 1080

interesting. I've never heard of aios not being able to get enough power, even on decade old motherboards. i assume you are referring to boards limiting fan header power to say, 80% as if it were a regular case fan?

Yes core layout is different on 5800x and 5900x.

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.

For those with a 5800x running hot (90C) - is it causing your case fans to increase rpm, thus increasing noise?

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.

Quote from essix8 :
These will be on deep discount in a month when Intel launches 12th gen which is leaked multiple times to perform better and cost less. Probably under $300 before October ends, since Zen 4 is a late 2022 launch they have no option but price cuts.

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.

I currently own x2700 if I upgrade to this.. Can you tell the difference or wait for the 6000 series?

I am on the East Coast and envied all the Fry deals when they were still around. Very rarely I would get in early enough on a deal with free shipping. I waited over three months to receive back ordered Pioneer speaker but didn't cancel since it was such a good deal. And early on I gave up trying to get Best Buy to match Fry's.

A Micro Center is eight miles away.

Picked up a 3900x for 350$ prior to tax on Amazon. Used but good condition from the Warehouse. I got lucky big time! I would rather have that than a notable chip that runs very hot. This price isn't great either. A while back Zon and Newegg I believe had the chip at Microcenter prices. Eventually they will go down to 300 or slightly below. It's a little late to get one of these since they've been available for months now.

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!

Yes. What I mean is that the mobo can automatically adjust fan speed depending on temperature, but the AIO wants 100% power to the pump at all times. I had an early Thermaltake AIO from several years ago and temperature was an issue until I set the pump to full power. I've since gone back to using air coolers.

I see. On my mb (CF 8 H) I have a header that is dedicated to pumps (and I think this is common nowadays). I am pretty sure that is precisely what you describe, full power apart from any fan curve plan.

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.
