Hey all I was on here the other day asking about motherboards for a new build I want to do and since I’m new to this he gave me a pc part picker list and I bought the msi pro b650-s and I want to get a 7800x3d will that be fine or should I choose a different cpu cause I have the board already.
This chip performs well on most motherboards, including those with low TDP like the A620. It can handle up to around 120W, though its real performance is mainly shaped by the 3D v-cache feature. It offers clear benefits that help it work despite some drawbacks for gaming.
Looking for some fresh ideas? You might want to explore options beyond Beastly Pure Rock 2—consider tracks with higher DPs if you're aiming for that intense listening experience.
When you have this setup and AM5 mounting hardware, stick with it. The 7800X3D is known for its straightforward cooling performance, allowing even stock coolers to maintain maximum boost. If you need a replacement cooler, dual towers such as the Thermalright Peerless Assassin 120 are now very affordable, making them a great choice.
Currently, the Thermalright PA120SE stands out a lot for a 7800x3D and is expected to surpass the PR2. If you're looking to save money, using push/pull fans on the PR2 should still work well. The thermal insulator in the 3D v-cache die above the CCD causes roughly a 25°C temperature rise. Even with direct-die designs, performance remains constrained by TDP limits. The 7800x3D is already pushing its boundaries unless you take extreme measures. Simply adding a powerful cooler will be enough. In short, managing its heat is more challenging than its benefits suggest.
I’ve got the AMD mounts ready, so I’ll stick with my existing cooler.
Fans are placed on both sides, but they usually include retention clips to secure an additional fan. Many come with two sets for this purpose, even though the box doesn’t contain two fans.
