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
in any case, though, one more reason to go 5900x if you're in the market and can afford to spend an addition $125 or so. I'm very happy with my 5900x. Very fast, astoundingly generous threads for the times when I need them, and the temperatures a very friendly. It feels only slightly hotter than the ivy bridge i7-3770 that I'd been using for years before.
my only advice for anyone buying 5900x... get the msi tomahawk unless you truly plan to OC. otherwise you are wasting a lot of money. Here's a comparison link in case you are on the fence like I was. in the end I got the CF 8 not because I wanted to OC that much, but simply because I know that I am going to keep it for at least 6 years and I'm already in my 40s. Might as well enjoy some splurges lol

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.
That Z77 chipset was a beast when it first came out. In fact my current daily driver is a 3570K on a MSI Z77A-GD55 with a Zalman 9900 cooler. I really want to do a new build, but it's hard to get rid of something that just works so damned well.

that zalman is a great cooler with a very interesting design. my previous build (which is now one of my office computers) runs a zalman 120mm extra wide AIO.
