Good deal. Curiously asked Microcenter if they would price match and they wouldn't. They stated "the price is way lower than our vendor would allow".

A lot of power for $190. With the 5600X at nearly $170 this is an easy upsell.

Will I have any issues upgrading a 2700x on a x470 board to this cpu? Might need a new cooler ? I have the AMD wraith cooler that came with 2700x.

I went from a 2700 (non x) to a 5900x on my x470 Taichi and have no problems because of the swap. I'm running a Noctua NH-D15 though.

If your psu is over 10y old might be worth an upgrade too IF it was very low watts (under 550w) or low quality to begin with

Meh, not really a deal. Look out for a 5700X.They practically perform the same but the 5700X is a 65w part.

edit:

40+ upvotes? and the 5700x is currently $10 cheaper.

The 5800X is one hot boi. Even with a premium air cooler like a Dark Rock Pro 4 it will reach 85C or higher if extreme stress tested in heavy AVX loads. Suggest tinkering with PPT a bit. I set mine to stay under 120W max and temps don't exceed 80C now.

Curious how the 5800X would perform undervolted to the 65w that the 5700X runs at.

Was it the stock Wraith, or the Wraith Spire? Not sure which x470 board you got, but if you think the VRM is fine, you'll just need to make sure you do the BIOS update to support 5000 series CPU's, and probably upgrade the cooler as well. If it was a 5700x, you could probably get away with what you have.

Make sure you update your motherboard firmware before you swap CPUs but it should be fine. As for the cooler, you can try to use it and see how your temperatures are but plan on buying a replacement if it doesn't work out.

Not sure how this was related to what he asked considering you didn't even answer lol. Also you have no idea what the rest of his system is like. A decent 550w could be more than capable of performing. Higher power is a waste of money if there's no need for it. Low quality could be a concern but if it's been running fine for this long, doubtful it's a problem.
