✅ Elite-level gaming performance ✅ Excellent efficiency and thermals ✅ Easy to set up and tune ✅ AM5 platform with upgrade potential ✅ PBO and CO tuning adds more headroo

Respectable base clock rate Low operation temp. under heavy loads Easy install Excellent single core performance

Overall great thermal paste

Zero issues with the chip. Overclocked to 4.5 ghz all core out of the gate. Stock cooler temps haven't gone over 75 c while gaming. Was quite surprised.

I got the 9800x3D day one of launch, it arrived in 2 days and had absolutely no issues installing it or getting it overclocked. Super quick and stays pretty stable in temperature even under heavy loads.

This CPU will outperform all other CPU's for gaming, even the 7900x3d and 7950x3d. It leaves the i9-13900k and i9-14900k in the dust. I was 4K gaming with an i7-11700k and RTX 4090. When I upgraded to this chip, my 3DMark graphics score jumped from 30,000 to 36,000. I also noted a minimum of about 10-15% increase in FPS in most of my AAA games, sometimes even more. I thought at 4K gaming my computer would be primarily GPU bound, but I was wrong. This CPU is truly the champ. It also is highly efficient and does not use anywhere as much electricity as the Intel chips.

Far better than previous gen Legit top end performance

- Better then 9950X in production - Fast in gaming beating i9 14900K

Runs cool Less power VERY fast

-Easy to install -Works well -Good price -Includes thermal paste

Great price in combo, very fast in windows applications, for me great in games as well. 200s boost for some extra power.

-blazing fast and overclocked out-of-box to 5.3ghz (for me) with current MoBo bios and drivers. -ECO mode at 65 average watts and much lower temps is giving me great 1440p, 144hz gaming on high/ultra WoW with max viewing distance. -integrated GPU is nice for new rig setup pending installation of graphics card.

Runs much cooler than expected. Performance is great. No real problems with Windows or Linux. Excellent price/performance.

The 5800XT is 8 to 10% faster then my old 3800X. The 5800XT draws 27-30 watts at idle, where as the 3800X draws 45-50 watts at idle. They both use 7nm architecture.

Only 65W and uses it well. Zippy performance at less heat! Typically running in the middle 40's C for me.

Fast, easy install, stable

30 degrees C with noctua

Keeps the processor cool, fans are silent. Can barely feel the pump working, no noise at all.


I bought the 265KF, meant to get the K but its ok, anyway its by far the best processor I've ever had. My first 8 core processor and on the i7 tier. It makes everything so so smooth just navigating anywhere . It pushes everything to my RTX 3070ti with room to spare. A huge upgrade from my i5 10600k from my first build.
