    Literally what I'm shopping for. Best I found 12 hours ago was roughly AU$234

    Dammit, do I swap my 5700X for this or wait for the 5800X3D to be re-released?

    Why do I have to deal with so many bargains thanks to @Clear???

      I was in the same predicament. Bought the 5500X3D to replace my 5700X because of better gaming performance aaaaaand it's sitting there still be installed haha

      I was waiting for the 5800x3d… However, at the announced US$350 price point, I figured that would hurt too much and yes, while it would perform better, I didn't think the price/performance was there.

      Yes it will be the same as buying from a local retailer, the only issue is that there is no warranty after the first month.
      So if you are really unlucky it can just fail after that month and you'll have no recourse

      No you'd need a motherboard that's compatible with the AMD AM4 socket. What CPU do you currently have?

        • axyh on 02/06/2026 - 17:20

          It's still one of the best sockets to use all the DDR4 RAM you have lying around.

          I'd take a machine with the 64GB of DDR4-3200 I have sitting here over a newer socket with 16GB of DDR5 (because I can't justify paying for more than that).

          • Wonderfool on 02/06/2026 - 17:44

            @axyh: The original question is if this CPU will fit in his old PC. His old PC Can possibly have AM4 as it's a 10 year old platform.

            Guys, your 1600F gtx 1080 second hand build is a decade year old.

            • axyh on 02/06/2026 - 18:04

              @Wonderfool: The "lol" at the end seemed mocking. My point is that AM4 is still a very valid choice for a budget upgrade.

              If you have a 6th-10th gen Intel processor, and a good chunk of DDR4 RAM in that machine, grabbing an AM4 DDR4 board and throwing in a 5000 series Ryzen will likely put you in good shape to ride out RAMmageddon. Once we get out the other side in a couple of years, a proper upgrade could follow.

                @axyh: Jesus Christ people, I'm not talking crap about your favourite platform. Calling it old isn't an insult, I'm only pointing out that it's possibly that the person in the original post may have an AM4 board in their "old PC." This has nothing to do about your personal buying choice or your preference.

                It's just CPUs and motherboards, people. No need to get so riled up.

  • MrGareth on 01/06/2026 - 23:54

    I'm struggling to get the displayed price (or near it)…. currently the CPU is AU$225.08, minus the EOFY15 discount ($23) then add another $25 of tax on top. The "Further US$16 off with PayPal" doesn't seem to apply here as it needs a minimum US$160, and this is less than that…

    I don't have a decent card to use, but I can't get the total cost less than $227…. surely the conversion fees with my paypal account doesn't add up to around $20?

    • 1
    • penguinswillrise on 02/06/2026 - 00:31

      Try another listing that pushes it over the min spend: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005011772309943.html?spm=a2…

      • MrGareth on 02/06/2026 - 11:04

        Unfortunately that listing doesn't work either - that price is $230-ish (fluctuates by the looks of it). From the paypal information, you get $24 off when you spend $239+.

        I can't find a 5500x3d at the right price to combine the EOFY15 discount + paypal discount to get close to that $200-ish figure.

            @Clear: Yep… I "Clear"ly can't read instructions. That was my issue… Now I can get the Paypal discount added on top, which brought it down to $217. That's close enough now!

            Wish there was a 5700X at the old AUD$120 price point from earlier OzB finds though, that CPU seems to have missed out this time around :)

      Probably just pay in USD and convert to AUD with your bank and not Paypal.

    I'm currently using a 5600x paired with a rtx3090. Would this be a worthwhile upgrade for gaming at 1440p?

    • 0
    • ReaperX22 on 02/06/2026 - 01:27

      It'll help with 1% lows and such depending on the game. If you can resell the 5600x to cover at least half of the cost, probably worthwhile if you don't plan to change platform for a while!

    Thanks op, bought one to replace my 3700x which will be thrown into my NAS build. Was going to stick a new 5600x in there but this deal lined up perfectly.
    Have been noticing a bit of stuttering in gaming on 1440p paired with my 3080, hopefully solves that

    So tempting to drop this in for my partners pc.. She's got my old 5600x before I went am5 (pre ram crisis thankfully). But she doesn't need it at all.. Stardew Valley is the most intense game she plays on the pc generally.. I undervolt her 3060 ti just to save some heat and power lol.

          Am I pouring money into old tech and should just wait out the ram nonsense

          My brain hurts

      If they're at 1080p, in straight games they actually still would. But if they're utilising the cores for anything else it'll be slower for multi threaded workloads

          Personally, given you'd have to change and buy two. Nah. Not worth. New gpu would matter more to those machines than new CPU at 1440p. But they're already solid machines for kids/teens. I'd keep em as is.

    Good upgrade from intel 8700k to this to help out a 9070xt playing at 1440? I already have an am4 motherboard on another PC build but the CPU in that is the 5600g.

    • 0
    • ReaperX22 on 02/06/2026 - 09:52

      Upgrade, yes, good? Questionable. No doubt it's a better CPU than the 8700k.. The fact you have am4 already may make it worth it to migrate your gpu over with the x3d but it sounds like a bit of a faff.

      I'd personally just consider a 7500f/7700 am5 6/8 core or something instead and try get lucky on a RAM deal for a new build imo.

  • froddoog on 02/06/2026 - 08:39

    Currently running 5600, mainly for gaming and also 3D modeling. Which one would be an upgrade for my usage?

    • 1
    • ReaperX22 on 02/06/2026 - 09:54

      3d modelling may even take a small hit. X3d tend to have lower clock speeds than non x3d variants.

      Gaming would be an upgrade, sure, resolution depending.

      Imo, most people on 5000 class CPUs benefit the least from X3d upgrades in terms of performance/value equation. People Upgrading from 2000 and 3000 series make more sense.

      For you, I'd be looking at 8 core x3d parts if anything.. 5800x3d is returning to retail but I'm unsure the price

      • 0

    Will this be a massive frame rate upgrade from my Ryzen 5 2600?

    • 0
    • QF99 on 02/06/2026 - 20:20

      It will be a quite good upgrade, especially for simulation games such as assetto corsa, due to the 3D-V cache and newer architecture. I've noticed a good improvement in FPS and 1% lows (Coming from a 3500x), so this should fix your stuttering in newer titles. Just remember to update your BIOS to the newest version before installing the 5500x3d.

          If you're running the stock cooler, I'd recommend also buying a new cooler as the TDP of the chip is 105W.
          I'm currently running the amd wraith stealth cooler, and it does thermal throttle under 100% load (even with an undervolt) , so make sure you buy one.
