I'm going to still wait a bit. I have seen 5950x for around 350 to 400 on eBay so I assume it will continue to drop due to the surplus.

AMD Ryzen 5000 series chip needs to be undervolted for low power consumption, system stability and performance.
-> In the BIOS, go to AI Tweaker, and select AMD Overclocking - Accept.
-> Select ' PBO' (Precision Boost Overdrive)
-> Change settings:
- Precision Boost Overdrive: Advanced
- PBO Limits: Motherboard
- Platform Thermal Throttle Limit: Manual
- Platform Thermal Throttle Limit: 75
Basically, this will enable PBO, let the motherboard transfer adequate power to the components, change the Thermal Throttle to Manual and limit to 75 which forces the CPU to never exceed 75-degree temperature making the CPU behave normally and not throttle and cause other system issues like slowdown, etc.
Different boards may have PBO settings somewhere else, look up your manual.
Good luck, this CPU is awesome.

OCing are a hassle and a waste of time for the Ryzen I tried, so the curve optimizer and some other setting helped my 5800x near 5GHz for most cores and was able to sustained it longer. I'm not sure if the the temp dropped, didn't pay attention to it. But with the AIO and some decent case fans, I didn't see any problems.

But yes, 5950x will typically only consume a few watts more than 5900x so they generally have the same power draw at stock. 5950x uses better silicon samples (particularly for CCD1 which has 8 cores for 5950x vs 4 cores for 5900x) which allows it to be more power efficient at stock configuration since each core can remain stable with less power.

But in the case of a friend of mine who's getting into blendr and Ai and just needs raw power the 12 core is way more powerful than the X3D. And he didn't have to spend ridiculous money for the 16 core.
