FAQs

Is the 5800X considered high end? ›

The 5800X is very good but not great. The 5700X is significantly cheaper and accomplishes nearly the same thing (currently 87% the price while giving 95% the performance) at a lower wattage and temperature.

Sometimes, depending on conditions, curve optimizer can lead to a lower average temps but increase full load temps. If the CO does lower temperature overall, skip undervolt (since CO is already undervolting) then try -15, -20 and so on till you find a sweet spot. Do plenty of stress tests to ensure a crash free system.

The 5800X is a more generalist processor than either the 5600X or the 5800X3D too, with a design that delivers full performance in games and content creation workloads alike, with 16 threads generally proving sufficient for stuff like rendering 3D scenes or transcoding video.

The 5800x specs say base clock 3.8 GHz and max boost up to 4.7 GHz, but mine is always boosting to 4.849 GHz.

The Ryzen 9 5950X rate was 0.77 percent; Ryzen 9 5900X, under 0.37 percent; Ryzen 7 5800X, 0.58 percent ; and Ryzen 5 5600X, 0.5 percent.

If you buy a Ryzen 5800x now, it will last for next 5 years. So, you don't need to think about AM5's longevity. Look, 5 years old intel i7-8700k is still doing fine, that's a 6c/12t CPU.

The 5800X Processor Maximum Operating Temperature is 90C and does the same thing as the GPU card when it reaches its Maximum Operating Temperature. In my opinion, I suggest to keep the processor's temperature at 80C or below. The cooler the processor runs the better for the processor.

It will perform well with any modern graphics card, and thanks to the lower price makes the most sense for a gaming-centric build. On the other hand, the AMD Ryzen 7 5800X is overkill for gaming. If you're someone hoping for increased performance from its extra two cores, you'll be disappointed.

that looks about normal (idle 40ish degree C).

The Nvidia GeForce RTX 4070 performs exceptionally well when paired with the Ryzen 7 5800X. This combination allows for smooth gameplay at high frame rates, even in demanding games. The RTX 4070's ray tracing and DLSS capabilities further enhance the visual quality, providing realistic lighting and reflections.

Is 16GB RAM enough for 5800X? ›

For most games 16GB will be fine.

It's just that it's generated on a rather small surface, so the CPU is "designed" to run hotter than usual, and you just need to make sure you have a bit better airflow through the system to help out the CPU cooler.

With a TDP of 105 W, the Ryzen 7 5800X consumes a good deal of power, so decent cooling is needed. AMD's processor supports DDR4 memory with a dual-channel interface. The highest officially supported memory speed is 3200 MT/s, but with overclocking (and the right memory modules) you can go even higher.

Using AMD's overclocking tools, PBO2 and boost override, can raise your maximum frequency to 5.05 GHz, so yes, it is quite possible for the CPU to reach 4800 MHz. The base frequency for that CPU is 3.8 GHz.

Ryzen 7 5800X Power Consumption, Thermals. Notably, AMD's decision to stick with the AM4 socket still constrains its maximum power consumption to 142W, which means that it could not increase power consumption for the new flagship models.

Short Answer: Yes. See, Ryzen 7 is a High end line up of Desktop processor from AMD which have 8 Cores and 16 Threads in them.

In general, the 5800X seems to be one of the hottest-running CPUs of the 5000-series, because it's the model with the highest power draw to only have a single processor die, for which it can use roughly 105W (per TDP) or up to 142W, while the CPU models below that draw less power, and the CPU models above that can ...

Value for Money: While the Ryzen 7 5800X positions itself as a premium offering, its performance justifies the price for users seeking top-tier capabilities. The balance between gaming and multi-threaded performance makes it a valuable investment for various use cases.
