5900X shouldn't be hotter
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 would always get the 5700x instead of the 5800x. There is barely a performance difference, but the TDP difference is pretty large. And you can usually get it for 250-275. Overall, I think the 5800x just doesn't have a place in the product lineup, especially with the price difference.
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.

I concur. From my experience less is more. I made that mistake once or twice but never again after that. The layer can't be too thick where the CPU can't make contact with the heatsink. Just a thin layer covering the CPU is good.

I wish I had a microcenter so bad.

How much does this run faster than a Ryzen 5 5600? Price is almost doubled.

anyone can help me decide if i should upgrade from my 3700x to this to pair with my 3080 FTW?? or wait for the next generation AMD or the raptor lake?
I upgraded from a 3700X > 5800X when my X370 mobo finally supported the Zen 3. I saw a substantial performance increase for $250. It does generate a lot of heat though. Go for it.

So you can get the 5700x for 275... But right now the better chip is the same price lol. Why would any one get a 5700x unless you live next to a MC?

The performance difference is sometimes negligible and other times noticable, but you can always drop the 5800x to eco-mode to make it a 5700x essentially. You cant do the same the other way around.

got this for $340 on bf and solid cpu. upgraded from a 4770k so its a huge jump. i set the ppt to 125 so it doesn't get hot and still good performance. also budget for a good cooler such as the scythe 2 fuma which i'm using.

newer version b of cooler

Have had this CPU for the past year or so in my PC build, excellent all around CPU and power efficient too. It's now beaten by some others like the i5-10600, i7-10700, and 5800X3D. But at this price point still a good buy.

I was going to get the 5600x, but this is pretty good in for one
5600X at sub $200 makes a lot more sense than 5800X for $100 more. There's a new AMD platform right on the horizon, so I'd hate to invest heavily in the soon-to-be-deprecated AM4 platform. If you want to build a budget system with 5600X, then I say go ahead, but if you want to spend more, then wait.

It's probably not worth the upgrade. I'd aim for the 5900x for the extra cores if you want to stay on AM4 socket however it just depends on your work load/what you're trying to do

Great deal - in for 1. I have one already on my Plex machine. Paid $150 just a few months ago.

Quote from DoobieBrother :
Any one care to predict the price of this cpu in 1 month? I have been waiting to get this one for a while, but was thinking I would wait until prime day.. I Hope its a tad bit lower on prime day. then again the bots will buy them all if it gets lower so IDK.. Finger is itchy but what is a few more weeks...
1 month is probably going to be before the expected Raptor Lake release (supposedly to be in October 2022.). I would wait till then to buy any CPU. I am expecting a minimum $20 drop on Alder Lake CPUs since $20 seems to separate each generation (10th, 11th, 12th) for the equivalent spot in the Intel lineup.

Not sure how much AMD might drop their CPUs to match Raptor Lake's release...

I am expecting the prices in 1 month to be roughly the same as today, maybe $5 or $10 lower at most.

Thoughts on if this will keep dropping over the next few weeks or is this really a sale price?
I have no reason to build a new PC but the drop in price has me wanting to get back in the game (been Xbox since my last gaming PC built 10 years ago). I'm sure the 5600X would more than satisfy my current needs but all the articles saying to wait for the 7000 series processors have me thinking maybe I should go 5800X for a little longevity. On the flip side if I did a 5600X it would be less of a waste if I choose to get a new board and CPU for the 7000 series (unlikely).

Long and short of this post. 5600X at 175 or 5800 at 275 (no cooler). What should I do? I'd be teaming it with a 6800XT or 6900XT for 1440p ultrawide gaming but with the hopes of eventually getting a VR headset for DCS and the like.

Thanks!

I need built-in graphics. Are they still making them?

Like someone said you can look at the G series. I might be wrong but I thought I read that all the 7000 series CPU's will have integrated graphics too.
