The great stock purge before Zen3D and Zen4 has really kicked in.
Pretty epic deals right now for Ryzen CPUs at Shopping Express. 10% off in cart storewide. 1% surcharge applies for select payment methods.
5900X $589.50 plus shipping would be my pick.
5600X, 5800X and 5950X also good deals.
Yes!
Whoa. I've been holding out for a $750 price point for the 5950 but this is so tempting.
I'm on a 5600X (with an RTX 2080). Worth upgrading at this stage?
HOOOOOOOOOLLLLLLLLLLDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD
Spend your money on a better GPU rather than a new CPU. The 2080 would be the bottleneck there.
Not unless you use it for work/productivity and the extra cores save you time/money.
Ok, sound advices and do make sense. Going to wait for a good deal on 3080 12GB/3080 Ti or the next gen. Ta.
If you want to ask this question then most likely you don't need an upgrade. Also if you choose 5900, you might have to upgrade your cooler as well.
Cheap.
Wow amazing price. Very very very tempted!!!! Should. Hold. Onto. 3700x. Until. Zen4. Drops.
Do you think zen4 gen 1 is worth waiting for? I’m assuming it will be overpriced and low in supply.
How does the laptop 5900HX laptop compare to this in performance?
How does this compare to M1 air?
5900hx is an 8 core CPU, limited by the power and thermal constraints of a laptop. It would be pretty close to a 5800x.
Comparison to an M1 is kind of pointless. It's like comparing a motorcycle to a tractor. They don't run the same software
Thanks. I mainly use zoom, Word and citrix, so I will keep my desktop 3700x for another year or so.
Should probably upgrade my vega64 first for gaming.
For second machine, I will stick to laptop as performance is OK for my tasks
Comparison to an M1 is kind of pointless. It's like comparing a motorcycle to a tractor. They don't run the same software
my pc runs android studio, postgresql, visual studio code, etc
my m1 runs android studio, postgresql, visual studio code, etc
They don't run the same software
???
I noticed they have an opened box 5600x with discount $279

Btw what kinda cooling will this beast need? My 3700x hovers between 55 and 70c during idle and light gaming - aoe2, aoe3, CS with stock cooler.
Pretty sure this will need at least a better air cooler to run with low temps.
I use a Noctua nh-d15 tower cooler. Also a bunch of case fans. Mine mostly stays at 55C and sometimes 70C at load. Also it's in a roomy ATX case so lot's of airflow). I haven't had any overheating issues to date.
The 5900x doesn't come with a cooler so don't know how it is with air.
Running mine with Corsair 360 AIO and idles around 37c and gaming up to 72c
Custom loop idling at 55C (lol) with water temps at 38C and ambient at 32C (mining hence the higher water temp).
It still jumps to 81C occasionally during single threaded games, but for mostly multithreaded it stays around 60-70C.
Silver sample if that matters
Yeah, I'm using a NH-D15 as well with a 4000D Airflow. Idling 50-55 and load around 70.
I currently have a 3600X + RTX 3080. Is it worth upgrading to 5900X ?
Probably not.
What resolution are you playing games at?
4k @ 120hz (LG OLED in living room mainly)
Hmmm at 4k you probably wont get a heap more frames.
It's still an upgrade but might be better saving your coin for Zen4 platform later this year.
@Skramit: Thanks mate. Do you know when and what the cost/performance of them will be in comparison?
@REDALERT: Just a head's up, Zen 4 won't be a drop in replacement. AMD is moving away from PGA to LGA (like on intel CPU's) for the new socket , so you'll need a new board and DDR5 ram.
@REDALERT: Zen 4 boards won't be out until the CPUs are. Without knowing if they keep up the quality I'm happy with my Asus strix b450i with my 5900X, so whatever the new chipset will be (b650 I assume) something in that flavour. They have never been cheap, for less expensive models, I know MSI cleaned up thier act after hardware unboxed called them out on their early x570 boards. Keep an eye out for reviews when zen 4 launches.
wow its the price I paid for my Ryzen 7 5800X a year ago. If I ever switch to a windows PC for video editing I would definatlly go for this. But as long as I use final cut pro that will never happen. :D
Perhaps a hackintosh would interest you.
used to, got sick of crap breaking every time there was an update.
I 100% agree.
Although, one of my builds never broke after updates. Plus, installation was by far the easiest I’d ever done. No annoyances from start to finish.
Everyone is saying this is an amazing price but it was lower on this very OzB b4 smh.
Basically HODL
yep my 5900x cost me $569 thanks to 28 Degrees :D
Thats a really good price, im not sure if i should bother upgradibg from my 3600
Looks like the AM4 CPUs are sold out now. I wonder if I can grab a cheap 3700x, it's the best CPU that I could put on my B350 board.
it's the best CPU that I could put on my B350 board
Technically speaking with a BIOS update in the future you can put in a 5000 series processor.
Asrock already updated some of their boards with Renoir and Vermeer CPU support, and my mid-range Gigabyte B350-Gaming 3 board also got support for Ryzen 5800 now so it's worth checking your mobo support page for any updates.
Man, was waiting for 5800x3d, 5900x very tempting now
AM4/Zen3 is now obsolete
If you don’t need it I wouldn’t bother wasting your money
lol ok
Currently using 3600 and 6800xt on a b450 max, should I go for this cpu or save up for a new gen build? I mainly play single player games on a 3k reso ultrawide monitor.
You would see a few extra frames going from zen2 to zen3 for sure. But probably not a noticeable difference in gaming experience overall to justify $589 IMO.
👍
Facebook will load faster though.
Oh any suggestions?
Now I really don't know if I pick 5900x + B550, or 12700kf + Motherboard, the overall price will be similar around $750
P.s. I still have extra 64GB DDR4 3200 RAM, so I don't want to get 1st gen DDR5 platforms.
Gaming then go Intel for a few extra frames.
Productivity using all 24 threads go the 5900X. But even then they are still similar.
But overall it might come down to motherboard choice, features and availability.
Don’t stress over it too much, maybe just get whichever is cheaper.
Do I need a second…
