    I upgraded to this chip from a 5600g, there was much more improvement than I was expecting. Nothing life changing but a good boost nonetheless. It smoothed out a lot of frame rate drops in my games and is quite capable for productivity workloads.

    Only issue now I gotta watch my heat a little more since I went from a 65w CPU to the 105w CPU built in a fractal node 202. Still running my stock cooler for the 5600g.

      I undervolted my 5800x3d by 0.1v (offset) from whatever my mobo defaulted to and temps tanked with my NH-D14 cooler. You’d probably see a much bigger drop doing a small undervolt.

      Plus your mobo is probably overvolting it anyways if you left it at default. I don’t understand why they suck so much at getting defaults right.

        Yea a proper tune would likely help a bunch in both performance and temps.

        I’m pretty crap at bios tuning and usually just follow guides. I’ll try my hand at it this weekend if it’s not busy
