Thats an insane price especially bought locally and not abroad. Funilly enough I have/had the same upgrade path and upgraded from a 5600X too. And for around the same price lol.yeah i almost got it from amazon the other night for £262 so im glad i waited. even if i quickly sell my 5600x for £60-£70 (need to check ebay at what they go for) i’ll of paid around 140-150 for it so thought why not.
that’ll be nice if zen 6 gets supported, that will be when i’ll jump and do another upgrade. other wise next thing is a gpu upgrade.
how are temps on your 5800x3D? i know it runs hot and i have a peerless assassin 120 to cool it but did you undervolt at all?
I traded into CEX earlier in the year while the value was quite a bit higher but you can still sell it for £72 in store (just checked) cash without the hassle. Just make sure you clean up any thermal paste.
And yeah its a hot CPU. I have the Phantom Spirit on mine (also Thermalright) and mine runs upto 82c on Cinebench and upto 78c when gaming; on heavy usage, CPU bound games. But hovers around 60's in most titles. I undervolted it with -30 all core offset in curve optimiser. Which helped a lot in thermals and improved performance.
