Question 1

does it come with a cooler?

Accepted Answer

No, the 5800X3D does not include a cooler, it is the CPU only.

Question 2

Why does it say none desktop? Is this for a laptop or server? Please clarify before I buy it for my desktop PC

Accepted Answer

That portion of the product title refers to the onboard graphics of the CPU, of which there is None.

Question 3

Is thermal paste included? I plan on re-using my existing cooler.

Accepted Answer

No, there is no included thermal paste.

Question 4

Can i cool this chip well with a 120mm liquid rad?

Accepted Answer

That depends. Yes, I would recommend that the cooler is on the intake instead of the exhaust of the case. And, also not overclocking.  If either of those is the case, then I would recommend a 240.

Question 5

Would I be able to run this with a RX580 with a Power supply of 600W?

Accepted Answer

You should be able to if you are already running an AMD CPU, since the power requirements have not changed for the Ryzen series.  You may not be able to do any overclocking unless the current power supply has the additional 4 pin power for the CPU.

Question 6

how is overclocking on the ryzen 7 5800x3d's are cocerned?  like 4.0 GHZ

Accepted Answer

Overclocking is disabled on this cpu. The reason why AMD chose not to allow overclocking on the Ryzen 7 5800X3D is due to voltages and thermals. As Hallock explained, the reason behind this is that the processor, with its gargantuan cache, can only reach up to 1.35V versus the maximum 1.6V that other Zen 3 chips can reach. As the Ryzen 7 5800X3D is already running at its maximum voltage of 1.35V, overvolting it could cause damage to the chip, so AMD chose to disable it. Although a few people have found work arounds to overclock this cpu it’s probably best to trust AMD and believe that overclocking this particular chip is still a risky business.

Question 7

Should I buy the Ryzen 7 5800X3D or the Ryzen 7 5700X3D for an AM4 gaming upgrade?

Accepted Answer

Choose the Ryzen 7 5800X3D when you want the fastest gaming-focused CPU available for an AM4 motherboard and you are trying to maximize the platform before moving on. Choose the Ryzen 7 5700X3D when value matters more, because multiple reviews describe it as a slightly lower-clocked alternative that stays close in gaming while usually costing less. The practical trade-off is simple: 5800X3D for the top AM4 gaming result, 5700X3D for a more budget-conscious AM4 upgrade.

Question 8

Should I get the Ryzen 7 5800X3D or move to a Ryzen 7 7800X3D and AM5?

Accepted Answer

Choose the Ryzen 7 5800X3D when you already own an AM4 system and want a simpler CPU-only upgrade with DDR4 and your current motherboard ecosystem. Choose the Ryzen 7 7800X3D when you are building a new system or are willing to change motherboard and memory for higher gaming performance and a newer platform. Reviews and community discussions commonly frame this as a platform decision: 5800X3D extends AM4 efficiently, while 7800X3D is the stronger long-term AM5 path.

Question 9

Is the Ryzen 7 5800X3D better than the Ryzen 7 5800X for gaming?

Accepted Answer

Yes for gaming-focused builds. Reviews consistently show the Ryzen 7 5800X3D as the stronger gaming choice because its much larger L3 cache improves frame rates and often helps frame-time consistency. The Ryzen 7 5800X remains the more conventional pick if you are comparing used-market pricing or want a non-X3D Zen 3 option, but for an AM4 gaming upgrade the 5800X3D is the more direct choice.

Question 10

Ryzen 7 5800X3D or Ryzen 9 5900X: which one should I choose?

Accepted Answer

Choose the Ryzen 7 5800X3D if gaming is your main priority. Choose the Ryzen 9 5900X if you spend more time on heavily threaded work such as rendering, compiling, or other multi-core productivity tasks. Review coverage consistently treats this as a cache-versus-core-count trade-off: the 5800X3D favors gaming performance on AM4, while the 5900X offers more headroom for parallel workloads.
