AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D 8-Core, 16-Thread Desktop Processor

Absolute monster of a CPU. Might even be overkill fot a lot of people. It's much better value than the 9800X3D so if you want a high-end system I would go with this. Its the second best gaming CPU around, and its about $100 less than the slightly better 9800X3D. Not difficult to cool, runs great and destroys games at 1440p and 4K. This thing will absolutely not be bottlenecked by anything out now or for years. AM5 socket means the board you get will support future releases like the Zen 6 chips coming eventually, though you probably won't need to upgrade from this to those. Absolute monster that I'd recommend getting at around $350 or so. Well worth the money for a high end build.

This CPU is great, it blows my older Intel i3 out of the water in terms of performance and functionality. This CPU is overclockable and can be undervolted. In gaming, it’s great and in professional work it’s great with the only real caveat for professional work being the lack of extra cores and threads. The temps can get pretty high under load so it’s advised you use a comparable cooler to keep the temps down. I recommend either a dual tower air cooler or an AIO liquid cooler (or custom loop if you’re feeling fancy) If looking to buy a high end Ryzen CPU and don’t know which one to get, I recommend either this CPU or the 9800X3D, You won’t be disappointed. If you’re more professional focused, the 9950X3D is probably the better option with its 16 cores compared to the 7800 and 9800’s 8 cores. Overall a very fast CPU for excellent performance in gaming and intermediate professional applications. 10/10

This CPU is one of the greatest. I wanted to get the 9800x3D when they first came out but obviously they were all snatched up by scalpers and big builders. “Settled” for the baby brother (which at the time was still hard to get ahold of at a decent price). Been running this for about a year now and can’t say anything bad about it. My system is 100% air cooled with this chipset being cooled by a Peerless Assassin. Most of the time fan noise is minimal or not at all unless under heavier load (but that’s usually for games and I’m using a headset so non issue). System boots quick and has been very responsive, no issues with crashes or hangups. Handles games (primary reason I purchased) as well as some moderate 3D modeling and CAD (Solidworks) without any noticeable strain. Solid performance, and would purchase again if I was building another system now. I would recommend this chip to friends and family looking to build/buy a solid gaming rig at any performance level.

I’ll make another review if anything goes wrong, but it’s one of the best CPUs you can get. It has worked perfect and exactly as expected. I paired it with my 3080 10GB with no issues. It is very expensive and if you have the extra 40-50 dollars I would recommend getting the extra boost and going with the 9800X3D, but if you don’t it’s still the second best chip you can get for gaming. HIGHLY HIGHLY RECOMMEND. 1. It stays incredibly cool. This is one of the things I love most about it. 2. Don’t even get me started on the 3D Cache, it’s incredible. 3. The chip is for gamers. There are better chips for non-gamers, so get this if you’re doing some heavy gaming. 4. It’s 5 stars for a reason, just make sure you buy the non-used version instead of the “used almost new” version. Some people have complained about improper packaging and the chip dying, this is most likely because they selected the “used” option. Don’t make that mistake and don’t take the risk, buy it newz IT’S WORTH IT. Alright that’s all lol. Just get it.

Just built a new PC and I play a lot of games. This CPU has been amazing so far! I'm able to do anything without this even maxing out on utilization or overheating. I did install it with an AIO. Great price to performance and it cost less than ddr5 ram nowadays, crazy!

Highly performant, good for both productivity and gaming, when paired with a graphics card it performs even better, was scared about the productivity side but when paired with a good RAM, SSD you'll be fine, definitely my first purchase and don't regret the purchase. I'm using an AIO III liquid cooler so the CPU doesn't overheat at all so far so good

A beast for 3D gaming, it gave me good FPS on Ark which can tank a CPU down easily.

I'm writing this review with the new 9000 series right around the corner, to make sure that people still consider the Ryzen 7 7800X3D as a viable upgrade to their gaming systems. I'm coming from a previous system of a Ryzen 5 5600X and an RTX 4080 Super, which, while playable, was one where I could clearly tell that my RTX 4080 Super couldn't properly stretch its legs. I see people mention the fast processing power of the 7800X3D, and while this is true (I can't state enough just how much snappier my system feels in comparison to the 5600X even when not playing games), I'd also like to mention what made the 7800X3D such a great upgrade for me. In many of my games, while, again, I had a playable experience with the 5600X, in areas with heavy NPCs or geometry, my system really started to struggle, with a strong sense of choppiness and stutter, in a way where I would dread going to those areas, sticking to more open areas in games, instead. With the 7800X3D, that fear is a thing of the past, and I believe that in addition to its sheer processing power, that's also due to the much more consistent 1% and 0.1% fps lows that I experience with the 7800X3D. It's obviously not something you can point to and go "wow, look at all the fps I'm getting!", like we gamers like to do. But it is something that has an immediate noticeable effect in games. Games like Cyberpunk 2077 fully maxed out (especially in the new Dogtown area) simply feel so much smoother, and the same goes for Horizon Forbidden West's Burning Shores DLC area, that is incredibly heavy with notably complex architecture geometry. So, while some maybe might argue that there was no point in me upgrading with the 9000 series right around the corner, or that I could have just gotten a 5800X3D instead, I'd say this. While yes, I could have gotten a 5800X3D, I figured at the very least that I should upgrade to the new platform, and get all of the benefits of PCIE 4.0 (I was previously on a much older system), and DDR5 RAM guaranteed in the future, as well as a viable upgrade path. Which brings me to my next point. Even though the 9000 series will be arriving soon, if you're like me, and you enjoy enthusiast 1440p gaming while still preferring to upgrade every other generation (it just makes the most sense to me financially), I plan on sticking with my 7800X3D until the series after 9000 is fully released. By that time, I'll likely be ready for the RTX 6000 series, and a proper CPU upgrade right alongside it. The uplift it has brought my system is just fantastic, and I just can't see the 7800X3D being outdone before that time! Many games I'm looking forward to in the farther future, like Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, don't currently recommend anything close to it. I don't believe it would be a mistake to purchase the 7800X3D right now, unless you're absolutely dying to be on the cutting edge of the new generation of tech. But that's also just my feeling and opinion; of course, I'm sure Hardware Unboxed and the like will have their own thorough educated reviews comparing what we have available, when all is said and done. Personally, I just didn't want to wait through any potential growing pains with the 9000 series that have been all ironed out here already, and my experience with the games I enjoy currently was frustrating enough that I also didn't want to wait for the 9000 series X3D variants to be released, as well. I genuinely wanted improvements now, so the purchase was worth it for me! As far as my own experience with Amazon, no problems here. I had to give a password to the delivery driver in-person before they would hand over the package, which I deeply appreciated. When you're dealing with things this expensive, I believe it should be a must. It arrived in its own original packaging, and when paired with my Scythe Mugen 6 Dual Fan cooler, and the Gigabyte B650 Aorus Elite AX motherboard, it has been running like a dream, both in the games I've mentioned, as well as with general work and recreation. I just wanted to give my thoughts and opinion in case anyone is on the fence about purchasing at this time like I was. Hopefully you found this review helpful!
