Ryzen 7 7800X3D Review - The Best ITX Gaming CPU?

Just to be clear: we always (for the last 15 years) have bare metal installs of Windows deployed for every CPU we test. It was a given from day one, for GPUs as well. When AMD clearly stated in their materials we needed to have a fresh Windows install for the 7800X3D after benchmarking the 7950X3D, mostly due to scheduler changes, the first thought was "duh". But anyways, there it is. :)

Can you get A 4.9 Ghz all core Clock with a ID IS 55 ?

The Ryzen 7 7800X3D is the both the most performative and efficient gaming CPU, period. I don't see with using it with an ITX motherboard would change that.

This is the first vid I've seen where the 5800X3D beats it's successor in some titles... I wonder if this is still the case under those specific conditions...

Pretty crazy to be able to pick up this chip at $360 only 7 months after this video

Have you looked into hardware monitor, while testing the 7800x3d? For some reason I keep getting max cpu clocks of 6.5Ghz, in the app, I guess its a bug Idk. If i restart etc I end up getting them again after a while. Must be a error or my 7800x3d is magically spiking intermediately to 6.5ghz..

Well now its a hundred quid cheaper its a no brainer.

why no halo tests ?

Hmm, I'm looking at 7800x3d reviews as I'm about to upgrade. Yours is the only one I see that has the 7800x3d with bad performance...?

So glad you mention this for itx users. Thank you!

Thanks for beign so passionate for mini itx love your videos

So the ryzen 7 7800x3d with the 4090 should work on my aerocool mirage 850 gold

Is the CM Masterliquid ML240L good enough to cool the
AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D 8-Core? First time getting a liquid cooler so would this be a reliable option? I’m concerned about leaks and the frequent maintenance.

If your into flight sims, then this is the CPU for you.

i still like 13600K better, price / Performance unmatched thins Gen. and also on idle uses way less power.

I have been using this cpu in a nr200p max and i have never seen it go over 70 C. Definitely worth it, and will be even better for later adopters who'll get it for 100 bucks less.

You are pathetic pro-intel fanboy. I see justifying 13K temps and power usage and attacking 7800X3D. You are biased.

Got a 7800x3d planning on retuning and getting a 7700x 25% cheaper where I live and minor downgrade in performance in my use case

Have you tried lowering the PPT limit to see how much the performance loss scales? It would be hilarious and amazing to see it gaming on a passive cooler.

Can you tell me about db noise levels under gaming load please? I am considering using this cooler and CPU in a Meshlicious case - that or the NH-L12S cooler (any preference?) but am concerned about the noise. Thanks!

Did AMD not recommend minimum 240 AIO ?

mine goes around 80 celsius should i consider a better cooler?

Este ryzen 7 7800X3D es la ostia, un amigo se lo compro para solo jugar y le puso un disipador por aire de aerocool de 110w , pues aquí en el sur de México las temperaturas están que te mueres de golpe de calor , pero aunque el disipador este casi a tope el ryzen 7 7800X3D consume 37w~59w jugando con temperaturas entre 68°C~79°C , con temperatura ambiente de 38°C

Can't trust reviews anymore. Your 13600k vs 7800x3d results are very, very close. Other reviewers show gigantic differences. Whom to trust? Who takes money under the table or does shitty testing?

Great review

TDP will never happen when playing games it wasn't made to run cinebench

Glad to finally see some processor that run somewhat cool!

The ending sums it up. AMD are doing amazing stuff, so many things right. But then they tend to screw things up and drops the ball on the finnish line, and this is not the first time! Why? Incompetence? Cater too much for shareholders greed? I don't know and I will keep my 5800X3D anyhow since all I do on it is 4K gaming on it :)

I’m amazed that the 7800x3D performs that well given the small form factor case and the cooler. One can only hope that AMD continues making powerful CPUs that are similarly thermal/power efficient.

you can achieve the same results with the 7700x setting it in eco mode..

I currently have a 13700K, and a 4080 fe. I was seriously contemplating picking this CPU up for it's efficiency, but given the performance with a 4080 and hoe much effort I've tried to tune the 13700K I think im good.

Just ITX?

Just got my 7800X3D but it gets pretty toasty even with the 280 AIO, so I am thinking if it's a better idea using the 7900 instead for a SFF build

I recently went with the 13600K since there's no enticing ITX AM5 motherboards. I ended up going with the ASRock Z790 PG-ITX and there's no AM5 board that compares to the features it offers. It really sucks having my CPU choice narrowed down because of a niche motherboard market.

What's the ITX case used?

Impressive. I’m still keeping my 5800x3d as changing platform is going to hurt my wallet a lot. Motherboards are still very expensive

I'm surprised you didn't go with the Scythe Big Shuriken 3 Rev.B cooler. According to Scythe, it is compatible with the AM5 socket even though part pickers show them as incompatible.

Then again, PC Part Picker says the Asus ROG STRIX X670E-I is incompatible with the 7800X3D, but obviously that is not accurate since you used it here.

13600k sweet spot

Can you review the Ryzen 7 7700 with the included Wraith Prism cooler?

I’m looking to build my first ever computer over the course of id say a month. The rig is primarily for gaming. Budget for the build is around 1500 excluding a new monitor, mnk, and speakers.
The build is as follows:
Ryzen 7 5800X3D $326
Cooler Master Hyper 212 (unsure on fans) $50
Radeon RX 6800 XT $540
Mag X570s tomahawk (overkill, but I like the features and I don’t want to research anymore into MoBos. more money, more better. As well as I know it is compatible with the CPU. Bluetooth, wifi, all the ports) $230
1TB 970 Evo Plus SSD $70
2x8 GB DDR4-3600 CL 16 (RGB, overpaying for aesthetics. Thinking of non RGB since the case is rgb) $85
Deepcool CG560 mid $94
Now comes the part I really am struggling with. PSU. Should I go to a 800 watt unit or what?
Estimated wattage for this build is 509. I have heard and read that you want your psu to be 1.5x the wattage. I doubt I will overclock anything as this build is more than enough to suit my wants.

Total cost for the build minus the psu is around $1400, loose budget of $1500.

I am pretty hard stuck on the CPU for the performance to price. I like the GPU from the benchmarks I’ve watched with the same CPU but not completely sold on it. Meaning if I can upgrade my GPU while budgeting on ram, mobo, etc I’m ok with.

Any advice, tips, forewarnings are appreciated.

Hey, guys I wanted to give you guys some acknowledgement for absolutely killing it with these ITX tests! It's almost as if you cater to the SFF community needs. Great work

whats that case

I bought this cpu with trident z5 6400. I see that cpu says it should be lower. will this run?

I missed what case this was. I can’t quite make it out. Did anyone catch it?

Could you checkout and review the Thermalright Silver Soul 135. It's a dual tower cpu cooler at only 135mm in height designed for sff cases. It seems like the best air cooler for the new Dan C4 and the upcoming Ncase M1 Evo. There's even a black and white edition!

why no 1440p benchmarks? i game at 1440, is there any point in an x3d platform? i didn't go to the 5800x3d because at 1440p it didn't seem to make a difference over my 5800x. if the generation makes a difference with new titles and gpu hardware i'd like to know.

what if you have a 5800x?

I'm playing with a 3900X and 4090 in 4K. Do you think its worth to upgrade to a 7800X3D? I could get the 5800 x3d for 284 euros...

Is the noctua nh d15 compatible with am5?

Your fps differs quite alot from 90% of other reviewers
