The 12 cores of 5900x are broken up into two isolated sets of six
The 8 cores of the 5800x are grouped as one and that's one reason why the 5800x has always been known as hottest Ryzen cpu
The 5800X also runs games a bit faster
If your 5900X is running hotter you might want to check your thermal paste
The old recipe of using a glop of thermal past in the center is not good for 12 cores.
Just smooth a layer of thermal paste on the whole surface of 5900X
You don't have to use a lot - coverage is the goal and not thickness
I happened to be near a microcenter at the right time, and picked up a 5700x for 225 plus tax. (250 plus 25 dollar coupon that's still available I think)
If you happen to be blessed with a local microcenter, I'd suggest that route. Otherwise, the 5700x is usually around 275-285 regular price.

Currently its 45c just surfing
For gaming its usually in 50s - I've never seen 60s that I know of.
I use a Mugen 5 Rev B which is an excellent fan and radiator cooler.
Before the 5900x I had a 5800x and the thing would get near 80c on same cooler - a reason I returned it (AMD says 80C is ok but still).
Not so much in fps but in smoothness and details
I went from a 2600 to a 5800x and the smoothness was noticeable right away
Tech Deals dude on Youtube gave me the idea
Now I have a 5900x and the same smoothness is there plus added details
In Borderlands 3 there are these purple crystals in small formations in the landscape
They can be busted-up and collected
Once I got a 5900x there were a lot more of the formations all over the place (I was on same AMD 580 @1080 that I had with the 2600)
Tech Deals guy also said 12 cores makes a difference in Cyberpunk
I haven't played it yet
A 5900x probably get cheaper by August
Last August I got a 3700x for $200 @ Micro

Problem with Intel is they swap out the socket every 2 CPU generation. So you have to buy a new motherboard if you want to upgrade to a new CPU. That's enough to keep me away.
If you are looking for cream of the crop ultra performance and cost isn't a significant factor, I would wait for the newer AMD CPUs before upgrading, but you will be buying basically a new computer.
Fyi never set limits to motherboard.
