AMD Ryzen 7 9850X3D

Superb processor for gaming. It runs fast and is easy to cool. Frame rates around 140 to 160 (running a Radeon 7800xt). Well worth the money, and would definitely buy again! Paired it with a Gigabyte X870 Gaming Wifi6 and 64gb of ram.

So I rebuilt my full size gaming pc to a micro atx pc. And this processor is a gaming beast. I gave it an overclock and undervolt and gave it a 360mm aio. Never goes above 60 degrees celcius when in full load. Great purchase and worth your consideration if you have an older processor. Stability and performance is great and power consumption is minimal with the undervolt.

I upgraded from an R5 7600, and this processor is a huge step up. I haven't fully tested it yet, but I can say that for some reason, my system now boots much faster. I have an Asus x870-A motherboard, and with the 7600, it took a long time to get out of the BIOS boot process. With this one, it's significantly faster. Combined with the rest of my components, I can say it's incredibly fast. It arrived well-protected, thanks to the sender for the packaging. Low temperatures stay at 38°C with a Thermalright 360 cooler, and even under heavy load, I haven't seen it reach 70°C. For now, I'm completely satisfied with this product.

Well to start off this cpu is an insane upgrade from the 11900k It’s compatible with the rog strix x870 gaming wifi e, but i made sure to update to the latest bios. Performance wise ive gained like at least 3x the frames from my previous cpu and while running slightly warmer under idle, after configuring my fan curve and setting a per core tuning in the curve optimizer, I’ve had average temps go anywhere from 60-70c depending on the game. Personally i would pair this with at least a 360mm aio for the most optimal setup and i always paired it with 6000 mhz cl30 ddr5. I recommend this if you’re cpu bottlenecked like i was in most games and want to perform the best you can in games:-) Make sure to update BIOS/chipsets to prevent the issues that have been happening lately to everyone’s 9000 series CPU’s. I also lowered my vsoc to 1.200 for safety as well.

Performance I feel it’s better than the 9800x3d, really smooth. Super easy to install if you know how to build a pc. More overclocking and under-clocking capabilities and it runs so smoothly. Stability is great, no temperature spikes or crashes, was running low 40 temp whole time playing cod lol. I’d say it’s worth the price for it only being 50 bucks more from the 9800x3d.
