AMD Ryzen 7 5700X3D 8-Core, 16-Thread Desktop Processor

The AMD Ryzen 7 5700X3D is an excellent desktop processor that delivers strong performance, especially for gaming. With 8 cores and 16 threads, it handles multitasking, streaming, and productivity tasks smoothly. The 3D V-Cache technology provides noticeable improvements in game performance, offering higher and more stable frame rates. It runs efficiently with reasonable temperatures when paired with a good cooler and is a great upgrade for AM4 systems. Overall, this CPU offers impressive performance and value for gamers and power users alike.

Back in January 2020, I built a gaming PC with a Ryzen 2700X. The CPU served me well, but I did not win the silicon lottery (so ram would not run stable above 2933 MHz) and there was definitely stuttering - especially in the first 5-10 seconds after loading into a new map in a game. Fast forward to April 2024, and I just upgraded the CPU/Cooler, and Case (it was cheaper to get a new case then to replace all of the noisy fans in the old case). The first thing I noticed was how much cooler and efficient the 5700X3D runs compared to the 2700X it replaced. I was routinely seeing 58-63C temps (with spikes to 70+C) with the 2700X, and now I am running 40-45C (even sometimes as low as in the high 30C range, and occasionally 46-47C). Second thing is the complete absence of stuttering. I never realized how back the stuttering was, I knew it wasn't good, but holy moley - it is soooooo smooth. Also, this CPU seems to sip power, unlike the 2700X, which loved to drink down power. Third, I am now running ram at an ultra stable 3200 MHz. This computer also is nearly dead silent - other than some minor coil whine from the PSU. I have seen significantly more stable frame rates (running a game at 120 fps now stays super close to 120 fps vs frequent dips to 60-80 fps. Microstuttering is now almost zero all the time, vs double digits percents all the time, and did I say super silky smooth gaming? Yes, I could have gotten the 5800X3D, but for me, this thing seems to be underutilized now, vs my always stressed out 2700X that was sweating out much higher temps with a nasty stutter at times. I might have built this a bit too quiet or it could be how cool this CPU runs, since instead of deafening fans, I can only barely hear some very muted electrical hisses and whines at times from the UPS severely manhandled PSU, even when gaming hard. The case is a DeepCool CH360 Digital and the cooler is an Arctic Freezer 36 A-RGB.

I installed the Ryzen 7 5700X as an upgrade for my AM4 system, and it works flawlessly. The CPU arrived well-packaged, installation was quick, and it booted up with no issues. Performance is fantastic — fast, cool, and stable. In games and multitasking, it’s a noticeable step up from my previous CPU. Paired with my RTX 3060 Ti, everything runs super smooth. Temps are great too, even under load. If you’re still on AM4 and want a solid upgrade without switching platforms, this chip is 100% worth it. Highly recommended!

The quality is exactly as described. Arrived in original style packaging, clean, installed with ease. Powered on and has been gaming since.

I've got a near 8 year old system that was still running a Ryzen 1700 and GTX 1080, on an MSI B350m Mortar motherboard. The first gen Ryzen had some issue with utilizing 3200mhz ram, I think the official max supported was like 2677mhz, so my RAM was always underclocked. Naturally after so long I was getting the itch for an upgrade. I didn't want to spend $1000 on an AM5 build just for my GPU to be bottlenecked and be forced to buy a $1200-2000 GPU, especially when my GTX 1080 is still surprisingly relevant by today's standards. Fortunately my OLD MSI b350m motherboard put out a BIOS update for this processor which literally made it plug and play. Dropped in the new CPU and after taking a little while to boot up, everything ran like normal. After enabling XMP my RAM immediately went to the rated 3200mhz, no fuss, whereas my old Ryzen 1700 would make things very unstable after about 2733mhz. Depending on your motherboard there's some special options in the BIOS you can modify to make the chip run a lot cooler. I am using a 240mm AIO water cooler but the temps were approaching 90C on prime95. I enabled some of the undervolting options and that was making temps top out around 75C while boosting! I haven't had the opportunity yet to thoroughly test it in games yet, but the games I have played so far have been running noticeably better. That is of course on top of the obvious increase in speed in any other task compared to my Ryzen 1700. On top of all this I can consistently push it over 4GHz turbo on 1.15v whereas my 1700 was underclocked to 3.2GHz around 1.2v to be stable. My intentions with this processor was to utilize the new 3D Vcache technology to "future proof" my AM4 system for at least a few more years to give GPU technology more time to develop and hopefully have some breakthrough where GPUs are better and not so much more expensive nowadays. Beyond the fact the m.2 drives are overkill for most tasks and it's still hard to find AM5 motherboards that have USB 4.0 slots. In conclusion, this upgrade resulted in my RAM being able to be run at expected speeds or better, a much faster processor and much better gaming performance with lower power draw. It has allowed me to squeeze the last bit of life out of my AM4 board and give it a facelift, for the price of about $300 all in for the CPU, liquid cooler and paste. In other words I saved about $1000-3000 in not having to upgrade to the AM5 platform that is still in it's infancy, and get to stay on the time tested AM4 platform while the newer platforms work out the kinks and there's better GPU options as well as USB 4 standards etc. If you're on the fence about making the purchase, go for it. I bought this when the price dropped to $229 and at the time that was a $80ish discount from the 5800x3d for a processor that uses a lot less power for maybe a 5% difference in performance. If you care more about your power bill and heat being generated by your computer than a 5% increase in performance, and you're staying on the AM4 platform, MAKE THE PURCHASE!

👍

Goat since the 5800x3d went out of business.

Um processador incrível, entrega muito e além de ser AM4+ (O melhor da categoria) que tem potencial ai para rodar jogos tranquilo lançamentos de jogos de 2035 de boa.... sim um CPU que vai te entregar super de boa 10 anos de lançamentos sem precisar pensar trocar processador tendo uma boa placa mãe e uma GPU é processador de alta performance até 2040 que já deve ter processadores AM5+ que estão com um preço acessível ou já migra para a tecnologia da época de 2040 se for o que? AM6+? AM7+ ou AM8+?

Deffinitely a last upgrade option for AM4 besides the 5800x3d but well worth the price. If you want to squeeze out the last drop of performance from an AM4 build this chip is one of the best options. It drives my 4080 Super pretty well at 1440P in any game. No complaints.

Big upgrade over 5600x for CPU-heavy games. Price was very competitive over the now extremely rare 5800x3d
