The price is lower and it works equally well for Gamung. Unless you require the cores for productivity? What else do you have in terms of CPU?
If your budget allows, opt for the 5700x3d version instead. It offers superior performance for gaming. Ensure the BIOS is up to date for both models.
Well, it really varies by board configuration. A B350 model like this would likely struggle with even a 5700X3D, let alone a 5800X3D. It all comes down to the specific board setup. There was also a discussion on the forum about B450 boards that don’t perform well with top-tier Ryzen CPUs, especially those from lower generations, since Ryzen is known for efficient power usage and cooling even at high performance.
Some boards may not support running Ryzen 9 parts with VRM, but I believe most can handle the 5700X3D during gaming. The chip consumes very little power—significantly less than the stock 5700X. What truly counts is the power draw of the component. While voltage versus amps might play a role, in practice it’s all about watts. The core count and generation don’t matter much. In fact, the 5700X3D draws less power than a Ryzen 5 1600 when gaming. Therefore, if VRMs can manage a 1600 without trouble, they should be able to handle the 5700X3D as well.
