Inquiry regarding Ryzen 7 5800X3D processor
I've heard the Ryzen 7 5800X3D offers impressive speed for MMORPGs because of its big cache. I’m considering playing Final Fantasy XIV and possibly other MMORPGs, and some fellow FF14 players say it gives noticeable boosts. I’m thinking about pairing it with a 6800 XT graphics card (or a second-hand 3080/3080 Ti if you prefer). My main question is whether the B550 motherboard can fit this CPU or if I should opt for something newer. I’m planning to use an ASUS TUF Gaming B550M-Plus. Regarding temperature, I want to know how hot the 5800X3D gets without overclocking—it’s known to get quite warm, but I’m curious if non-overclocked gaming really causes it to heat up quickly. Maybe a bit unrelated but I don’t want two threads asking the same thing: for cooling purposes, I’m thinking of a Peerless Assassin 120 with one or three rear/top exhausts and three front intake fans. Still, I’m wondering if a full mesh front case is necessary. Such cases usually look plain, whereas I’d rather avoid looking like I own a Corsair 4000f Airflow and fancy Fractal designs that aren’t available locally. Cases with style but less front mesh—like Aerocool Klaw or MSI Gungnir 110R—seem more appealing to me.
There isn't any newer version for AM4 except X570, which isn't essential unless you need its unique capabilities that B550 lacks. - With sufficient cooling, temperatures stay manageable. 70˚C to 85˚C works just fine.
B550 should suffice. The 120 is a solid option, though I’d recommend a case with a front mesh for better heat management. The Phanteks G360A is available locally?
The ASUS TUF Gaming B550M-Plus fits perfectly with the 5800X3D. You can pair it with a standard air cooler such as the Noctua NH-U12S SE, and you can definitely reduce costs a bit too. I assisted someone in setting this up just a few days ago, using the same motherboard and CPU. No issues at all.
Hmm, that's not what I was looking for. Most options are Corsair or Cooler Master, but other brands can vary by PC parts store. I need to switch gears and check out these Cooler Master cases if they're in stock: https://www.coolermaster.com/catalog/cas...argb-2021/ and https://www.coolermaster.com/catalog/cas...r/cmp-510/
Choosing a case design is quite individual, so feel free to decide on your own. A sealed panel will require more effort from the fans to circulate air, which may make your computer noisier. However, it won’t cause overheating if you use good fan settings and multiple fans.
The 5800x3D performs well at +90°C whether paired with a 240mm AIO or an NH-D15, surpassing even the 7950x3D in heat handling. It’s not an issue or a reason to skip it—just adjust the fan curve to handle the higher temperatures and avoid CPU fans running too loud while playing music. From my tests with various coolers, water coolers tend to keep the chip cooler.
For most purposes, any ATX enclosure works well as long as it has adequate mounting points for fans.
He shared one of these, while his model stays under 80˚C using a budget AIO. After checking online, a Reddit discussion mentioned that 90s units aren’t typical and usually run cooler around 70˚C.
But was his speed boost to 4.7GHz? It’s clear it functions properly with an affordable AIO. Water cooling generally outperformed air cooling on the 5800x3D, even when paired with an NH-D15. My 5800x3D will swap in for my brother's 3600 this weekend, and he’ll only need a 120mm AIO. The CCD spiking to +90°C is what I’m referring to—this is due to the 3D v-cache module found on the 7950x3D, though they now cap it at 89°C.
