    5.0 out of 5 stars Solid final upgrade for this platform

    Nice upgrade for anyone still on the AM4 platform. Pretty easy to cool, a decent gaming performance and solid general performance upgrade from my 5600x.

    TL/DR: Processor good, computer go zoom.

    I built an am4 system a few years back, when graphics cards were hard to get, and cpu/motherboard prices were on the rise. I built on a bit of a budget, so I didn’t go crazy on the processor, and snagged a 3600. A reasonable amount of ram, decent graphics card, and the best motherboard I could get, so I wouldn’t be stuck without room to upgrade/expand later. Well, here we are, it’s later. I needed a bit of a bump to better enjoy the occasional game, and run some of my 3D modeling software a touch smoother. I didn’t want to commit to a full new build, but with the price of the 5800x3d vs some am5 platform options, I was a bit torn. That said, I didn’t have any need to go overboard, because my use case wouldn’t push a 5800x3d to its limits. Enter the 5700x3d, and at a price just over $200. The 5700x3d does great with everything I throw at it. It runs super stable, the temperature is well managed with most decent coolers, no issues with games, or any rendering software. This is a great way to get a nice performance bump across the board, and buy a few more years of use on your am4 platform. If you’re looking for an upgrade, this is a pretty solid one. Obviously, the price might be better or worse depending on when you’re reading this, so ymmv.

    HOWEVER. If you’re building a new computer, just go am5. Unless someone is giving you parts, or an amazing deal on something, it just doesn’t seem worth it outside of being a fantastic upgrade for current am4 owners. But I’m just a guy on the internet, giving my 2 cents.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Massive upgrade from a 2700X
    Reviewed in the United States on April 15, 2024
    Back in January 2020, I built a gaming PC with a Ryzen 2700X. The CPU served me well, but I did not win the silicon lottery (so ram would not run stable above 2933 MHz) and there was definitely stuttering - especially in the first 5-10 seconds after loading into a new map in a game.

    Fast forward to April 2024, and I just upgraded the CPU/Cooler, and Case (it was cheaper to get a new case then to replace all of the noisy fans in the old case).

    The first thing I noticed was how much cooler and efficient the 5700X3D runs compared to the 2700X it replaced. I was routinely seeing 58-63C temps (with spikes to 70+C) with the 2700X, and now I am running 40-45C (even sometimes as low as in the high 30C range, and occasionally 46-47C).

    Second thing is the complete absence of stuttering. I never realized how back the stuttering was, I knew it wasn't good, but holy moley - it is soooooo smooth. Also, this CPU seems to sip power, unlike the 2700X, which loved to drink down power.

    Third, I am now running ram at an ultra stable 3200 MHz. This computer also is nearly dead silent - other than some minor coil whine from the PSU.

    I have seen significantly more stable frame rates (running a game at 120 fps now stays super close to 120 fps vs frequent dips to 60-80 fps. Microstuttering is now almost zero all the time, vs double digits percents all the time, and did I say super silky smooth gaming? Yes, I could have gotten the 5800X3D, but for me, this thing seems to be underutilized now, vs my always stressed out 2700X that was sweating out much higher temps with a nasty stutter at times. I might have built this a bit too quiet or it could be how cool this CPU runs, since instead of deafening fans, I can only barely hear some very muted electrical hisses and whines at times from the UPS severely manhandled PSU, even when gaming hard. The case is a DeepCool CH360 Digital and the cooler is an Arctic Freezer 36 A-RGB.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Best CPU for price to perf

    Got this on sale and its amazing, games run buttery smooth and everything is responsive. would recommend over 5800x3d if you can get a good price

    5.0 out of 5 stars Powerful x3D performance; affordable price
    Reviewed in the United States on December 29, 2024
    Even with a stock cooler that came with my prior 5600x, it still runs cool with amazing performance.

    I love AM4 because it just makes sense compared to other sockets such as Intel's LG3866 or whatever; simple increments make sense and given the recent successes of x3d CPUs for gaming in particular, I'll definitely be moving to AM5 if I ever upgrade again in the future.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Works great!
    Reviewed in the United States on November 14, 2024
    The only thing crazy about this order was that when I ordered the CPU it said that it was overnight shipping and that I would receive it the next day. For some reason it didn’t come for 10 days and I had completely forgotten about it. Slapped it in when I got it and the performance difference was IMMENSE. Great CPU quality. Great speed. Does get quite HOT so you need a really good CPU cooler, do not use some dinky little heatsink on it.

    5.0 out of 5 stars AM4 endgame, great for completing upgrade path
    Reviewed in the United States on December 9, 2024
    I started on the AM4 platform in 2020 and since then my 3700x has been a great performer. I recently upgraded to 4K from 1440p for gaming and my new GPU was bottlenecked by the 3700x, especially with ray tracing enabled. I picked up this 5700x3d for less than $200 and man, what a great upgrade. Functionality: frame rate minimums are so much better and gaming feels smoother. Running this with a 7900xtx in CP2077 with every graphics setting maxed, ray tracing on ultra and path tracing off, 65-80fps and never below 65. With RT off it's 130fps. Higher tdp than my older chip (listing says 65w but it's not, it's 105w) but runs at the same temps in game. You'll want a decent tower cooler but I'm impressed. NH-d15 keeps this at 65 while gaming with no fan noise. I flashed my BIOS and haven't had any stability issues whatsoever. Like others have said if you're deciding between this and an AM5 processor for a new build there's no competition, go with AM5. But if you're on an aging AM4 system this is the move to get some more years out of your system.
