AMD's Ryzen 7 5700X CPU follows-up the R7 5800X, but at $300 instead of the original $400+ price-point. That puts the R7 5700X vs. the i5-12600K, primarily, but also AMD's own R5 5600. Sponsor: Buy Thermaltake's Tower 100 Mini-ITX case on Amazon (https://geni.us/TuAASGt) This review and benchmark of the AMD R7 5700X CPU tests the new AMD release vs. the R7 5800X, i5-12600K, R7 3700X, R7 2700X, the AMD R5 5600, the 5600X, and more. The CPU market has flooded recently as AMD has scrambled to counter Intel, and that's showing in the launch where AMD has spanned the budget market up to the mid-range. The high-end is still occupied just by the AMD Ryzen 9 5900X and 5950X, but the company is currently working toward its launch of the Ryzen 7 5800X3D (which we'll review soon, hopefully!). In this review, we're focusing on if the R7 5700X is worth it for gaming or for production applications, and where it makes the most sense. To us, the R5 5600 makes sense as the best middle-ground option for gaming as delivered by AMD, while Intel is still fighting hardest with its i5-12400 and 12600K.

@

@802Garage2 years ago The crazy part to me is how close to 5800X performance the 5700X is while using HALF the Wattage. Wow! 501
@

@Zosu222 years ago Definitely a little late to the market for a product like this, but it’s a nice upgrade for someone with an older Ryzen CPU I suppose. These will probably get discounted regularly. 853
@

@theherrmann2 years ago I'm so excited to see the Gamers Nexus benchmark on the 5800X3D. I think it's really remarkable how you test all the meaningful use scenarios. 350
@

@shadowedsnipa2 years ago I would love if, for power consumption, there was a chart showing the total watts consumed by the CPU over its entire render cycle. For example, the i3-12100 had the lowest power consumption in the 5 minute blender test, but took approximately twice as long to render the GN logo in blender compared to the 5700X. I think it would be a better overall representation of power efficiency. ... 481
@

@Tbone_13372 years ago I think that the power efficiency should’ve been talked about more. I have a pc in a Velka 3 case, which the largest cooler it can fit is a Noctua L9. The fact that I can have an 8 core/16 thread behemoth in that case that draws less power than my current R5 3600 is insane ... 311
@

@foxdart2 years ago Thanks Steve, solid review. I started on a 300 series board with an r3 1400, snagged a 3300x and now I'll finish on the 5700x. I'll ride that cpu into the sunset just like my old Sandy Bridge before. 144
@

@autistpatrol24932 years ago upgrading from 2700 to this. did the mobo bios update on MSI.
Same power draw (important for an ITX Build), same Core Count, over 50% increase single thread performance over the 2000 series. Should last me another 4 to 5 years. I’m super happy with it! ... 67
@

@MightyMattTM2 years ago It’s absolutely nuts how only 1 or 2 of those CPUs is a quad core. I can remember when seeing a 6 core in review tables was astounding. 100
@

@JustAGenericGamer2 years ago Whole reason why I am sticking with AMD is because my X370 board from Asus supports the 5700X. Allowing me to finally upgrade from 1st gen Ryzen while using the same motherboard. 282
@

@SamanthaVimes1772 years ago Can't decide if I"m going to go far a cheap end of generation build or a cutting edge new one closer to the end of the year. Either way I'm finally starting to get exciting about building my first tower in years <3 Thanks for the great analysis as always GN! ... 6
@

@thisishowitube2 years ago Absolutely love your videos, they've helped me make a few decisions building my first rig in a decade. Very knowledgeable and trustworthy.
One thing I would love to see, I've been building a flight sim PC for my grandpa and MSFS 2020 is a resource monster. Just booting it up and idling on the runway at Heathrow airport is CPU bound and struggles to get 40 FPS with 5800X and 3600mhzCL14 RAM/IF 1900. Could be an interesting addition to the benchmarks! ...
@

@Shannon-ul5re2 years ago Great review thank you, I'm one of those people who was looking at buying the 15 2600k, which meant a complete system upgrade over the 3600. I sold my rx 5700 xt for $1200 in Feb, having been waiting for the prices to drop, in which they have and was able to pick up the r7 5700x with a rtx 3070, new keyboard and mice for $1300, today.. super happy for thee next few years and how the new gen plays out. ...
@

@danielmadstv2 years ago I would love to see some VR benchmarks! VR takes big rig and it would be nice to know which parts perform well in VR. If you have addressed elsewhere why you don’t benchmark VR I’d love to be referred to that. However, VR has become quite popular again. Thank you for the excellent and otherwise thorough review as always! ... 17
@

@jonirenicus94072 years ago Bought a 5800X when the price dropped to upgrade a 2600X on a B450. Just extending the life of the system, don't regret the decision in the slightest, great chip.
Edit: typos 64
@

@theboywhoroared8 months ago I really appreciate you guys doing the code compile workload
@

@robertmajors17372 years ago Great content as always Steve. Yours and a few others' reviews helped me decide on the 5600x last summer. I knew I was going the 1440p route, so the 5600x has been a perfect choice for me. You and the guys keep up the great work. ... 1
@

@grantpaterson10162 years ago TBF, a compelling buy for someone who has a set up they are happy with :). Surprised it competes so well with the 12700K. Great video 9
@

@eastyorkie19722 years ago I'm using 5800x, as like you said, getting hands on real CPU as apposed to waiting forever was the best option during pandemic.
Like you also said, I will also resort to keeping my x470 system together using blue tac if needed to get more life out of it ... 9
@

@idhalaralbaiesh54292 years ago Very interesting review! can't wait to see what next gen puts on the table.
I have found these high-ish core count cpus very nice when you have to run two or three virtual machines at home for work, you need them to run well and still want to be able to use your host OS without pulling your hair out.
Got my 5800x when it was released because it was the only thing available at a normal price and had a lot of doubts about it, but can't be happier about the purchase after year and a half of use. I think I'll never again buy anything under 8 cores and 32 gb of ram. ... 1
@

@matthews22432 years ago I'm still running an r5 2400g, and it's nice to know I have an affordable upgrade path which will keep my system relevant for a few more years. The 5800x was just a bit too pricey for what it offered and the 5600x just wasn't compelling enough a jump in performance. This hits a nice sweet spot for my niche case. ... 28
@

@BRC_Del2 years ago These are way too late, but they should push older (1000, 2000) Ryzen users over the edge to upgrade, which is what AMD wants. Great work as always, GN team! 245
@

@frankopanklaric2 years ago Got it a few days ago. Works flawlessly with my x370 mbo as advertised. Got alot of frames coming from the 3600. Time start to start saving for AM5. 3
@

@grev.2 years ago i really appreciate how thorough these reviews are. the frametime comparison is very interesting. is there a video showing the frametime consistency for w11 alder lake?
@

@Bdot8882 years ago Ive been on the 3600x since 2020 and it was $215 back then. Once I saw the 5700x drop to $198 yesterday, I knew I had to jump on it. Great price to performance and a great last AM4 cpu to hold me over until AM5 evolves a little more! ... 22
@

@PoulWrist2 years ago It might not be a great NEW purchase, but I really like how you can buy these new releases and socket them in to a 5 year old motherboard and get modern performance if you bought a Ryzen 3 1600 back then while in school or in a budget slump. ... 8
@

@webby80052 years ago I love this comparison!! Thank you so much! I feel like just getting the R7 5700X is worth it to keep myself budget friendly with very minimal difference in performance.
@

@llobell862 years ago Great and rapid review. I do always miss a undervolt+pbo comparison with 5800X and 3700X. That way we would know better about the silicon (stepping) and its capabilities. A minus 0.0125mv to the vcore makes my 3700X gets 4.450Mhz, while much less heat, with PBO +100Mhz enabled. ...
@

@TheOswald042 years ago Great content with solid advice. I know this channel doesn't cover emulation but as a gamer I looked into affordable 8C/16T solely for RPCS3. Is building a PC for gaming and emulation a minority in the PC building community? I thought it would be as exciting as cinemark/blender benchmarks. ... 4
@

@andrewcross59182 years ago I would really love to see more non FPS based gaming metrics for stuff like Stellaris, CK3, Factorio, Civ 6, Old Wolrd, Humankind and so on. 10
@

@paulmanington8462 years ago Would love to see an x370 focused upgrade review of these, bearing memory timing in mind as well (and if it's worth getting higher clocked memory as part of the upgrade) 1
@

@vmystikilv2 years ago AMD knew its market. I have a x370 with a 1700x. With the updated bios release and 5700x release, this was a no brainer choice to upgrade. Paired with a 6950XT, I hope to be quite happy for quite a few years. 17
@

@Naturalhighz2 years ago still really excited to see the 5800X3D. currently on a B550 with 3700x so upgrading would be very easy. Just gotta know if it's actually worth it before making the decision. 4
@

@gersongaje79732 years ago I have a R5 3600 system and I think it is a worthy upgrade to switch to R7 5700x. Significant increase in core count and clock speed while being a 65w TDP chip. 53
@

@gamingvibrations53202 years ago Would be great to have a comparison of encoding while streaming and the relative performance in that use case vs the 5600x and 12600/12700, like you did with your Ryzen 2000-series review.
@

@3XOUT2 years ago Nice as always.
In regards to the 5800X everybody knows it tends to be running hot. I have it and it really does. So I truly hope you look into that as for the 5800X3D. I don't know if it's built in the same way as the 5800X. That's probably one of the top concerns as for me deciding if I should get that instead as a final hurrah for my X570 board (other than the actual performance ofc). And as there have been so much talk about it in general, then it would be weird if you guys, of all ppl, haven't included that aspect in that upcoming review. ... 1
@

@CommandLineVulpine2 years ago The 5000 series launch is so weird that I thought this was already out 55
@

@silure95022 years ago Perfect upgrade for my 3600. I don't plan to move from am4 for some time 6
@

@kineteks772 years ago Love the content. I don’t know that this format is very useful for builders though. Is there a place that has all of your current thoughts and recommendations in summary form across all the different things you review? It feels like otherwise you have to watch and remember every review you put out otherwise. ...
@

@goldfries2 years ago Thanks, been waiting for this. Though I've bought one, just haven't tested it. :D
@

@AlphaXY132 years ago Definitely might be my next CPU upgrade, rocking a 2600 right now and I feel like it's starting to show it's age with productivity stuff and I see how good the 5000 series CPUs are. My motherboard came with a BIOS that supports these new CPUs so it'd literally be a pretty simple upgrade. ... 4
@

@irishgiant51502 years ago Some years ago you did a great comparison between first gen Ryzen and the 7700k in a streaming setup. Are you interested in doing a similar use case piece with modern CPUs? Does that carve a niche out for the eight core Ryzen's or does the P & E core configuration handle that kind of multitasking while gaming better? ... 22
@

@thegreatkwyjibo55292 years ago Just got my cups and coasters! The detail is insane!!!! Love them!
@

@t1ghe5 months ago Thank you, I needed this information. I currently have a R5 1600 and want to upgrade it. The R7 5700X will be a great fit. Cheers.
@

@killakwik2 years ago I just dropped the 5700x into my x370 MoBo that was running a 1700. Best upgrade I could do. Now I can skip the AM5 platform and wait for the following platform… maybe. 16
@

@PurpleKnightmare2 years ago I'm thinking of upgrading from a 2700X to a 5700X when I get a 3070 Ti or 3080 from my 970. I do art (Photoshop/Maya/Gimp/Blender) and compiling as I don't just play video games, I make them for fun. Would be awesome if you guys did a Unity/UE5 test too. ... 6
@

@dane4890last year Great review... I got the X470 Aurous, i think i go with the 5700X (Thank you)... Production and gaming use ;)
@

@jonathanpohlhammer62462 years ago Just bought one of these to upgrade from a 2600X in the PC my spouse and I share. We'll be building a new one later this year with current gen parts, and I'll be inheriting the upgraded one. Really looking forward to having two PCs so we can game together. ...
@

@pofeed2 years ago It's annoying that we didn't have this CPU in 2020... still, as an x370 owner, I'm just feeling lucky that I actually now have the option to upgrade and buy several more years of solid use out of this platform. Late 2017 and going strong into 2022 is actually pretty badass, when you think about it. ... 8
@

@gamingvibrations53202 years ago Gonna pick me up a 5700X for doing some editing and rendering at an amateur level. Hoping the extra cores will last me a few years to come, upgrading from a 2700. GN all the way! 3
@

@arseniccapsule11165 months ago First upgrade I've put into my pc since 2015, upgrading from an i5-6600k, can't wait to put this build together :)
@

@matthewpetersen43062 years ago R1600 on a x370 running a 1080ti since '17. The new bios updates are making me want to purchase a 5600/5700x, think I might wait just a little longer for am5 and check out the sales then, great review Gamer's Nexus 👍 ... 2
@

@KingNekro2 years ago Could you test how the extra 2 cores over the 5600 might effect performance when multitasking during gaming? You know, things gamers would do on a 2nd monitor such as watching videos/movies, running chat apps like Discord, recording/streaming software(obs/xsplit etc), web browsing, etc
I know a lot of people who are constantly doing multiple things like that on a 2nd monitor while gaming, and it would be nice if I had some kind of frame of reference as to how those types of activities effect the performance of the game they play, especially when deciding whether they should buy a 6 core CPU vs an 8 core CPU. ... 3
@

@WebbTech12 years ago I just upgraded my 3700x to the 5700x yesterday...and this video helped in my decision! Thank you Steve and all @ Gamers Nexus for your comprehensive reviews. 5

@steivene2hot9155 months ago As always thanks for the review! From Ryzen 5 2600 to AMD Ryzen 7 5700X. Will be getting these in a couple of days. I do gaming+editing videos/pictures+work so it makes sense to grab Ryzen 7 5700X! 1
@

@purpasmart_48312 years ago The 5700X should of came out over a year ago imo. 390
@

@wizzgamer2 years ago Better late than never would be a great upgrade from my Ryzen 7 1700 on my B350 board plus would allow me to re-use my wraith spire cooler thanks to the low TDP. 3
@

@donut72382 years ago The conclusion is for me spot on, thank you, Gamers Nexus!
@

@Makenboshi2 years ago been waiting for this bad boy, just wow
@

@garbuckle30002 years ago Just picked up a 5700x today. I was running a 3600, and thought it would finally be a good time to upgrade. The 5700x fits the spot for me in that it still offers the extra cores/threads useful for multitasking with all the IPC improvements. And seeing as I intend to run this for another 5 years, it should be able to keep up with anything I throw at it in the future. Saves on power and $ over the 5800x, so no regrets here ... 10
@

@JohnnyOrgan2 months ago I just purchased the 5700X here in the UK for £159. Along with another 16GB of DDR4 3600 Ram. I'm chuffed. A really nice wee upgrade from the R7 2700(non-X), which is still a decent budget offering second hand. But emulation has seen major improvements on my end.
Still rocking an RX 580 8GB for now. Enjoying Lies Of P atm. ... 3
@

@oneaboveall913411 months ago Even after being such a famous and big YouTuber you give replies to comments time to time. I greatly appreciate this quality
@

@jamesthenewb2 years ago Glad I saw this. I was thinking of upgrading a 3700x workstation to the 5700x. Seeing as it makes little difference in production workloads, I'll just wait for another year to see what comes out. I just really hate buying motherboards over the internet. ...
@

@jameshealy45942 years ago Steve throwing much deserved shots at Adobe, love it! If they have any sense, they'll heed the warning. Look back Adobe, and remember Newegg... 35
@

@MrJohnnyCrock2 years ago Really glad I opted for the 5600 instead of the others. The cost is much more justifiable. 48
@

@KatalistProductionsKozzySasha10 months ago Upgrading to this cpu from my old 2600x (But the same b450 motherboard). Don't have much money to spent on cpu parts these days but this looks like a nice upgrade for my pc :)
Thanks as always for the videos! 2
@

@2009kortevideos9 months ago just finished my build with the 5700x and a single tower assassin king se 5 heatpipe.
i'm getting 29C on idle and around 50C under gaming(3060). mobo:rog strix b550 wifi II.
so yeah, super impressed with the thermals. great job amd ! ...
@

@ganjagremlin2 years ago Any chance we could see more Intel 11th gen benchmarks (specifically the 11900K) now that the price for 11th gen has dropped by half? They were garbage at the price when they came out, but now they are quite compelling if you don't want to upgrade your motherboard to a new socket to utilize PCIe 4.0. I just recently upgraded from an i7 10700KF to an i9 11900K and I'm extremely happy with my decision. ... 3
@

@hardware_freak_on_a_leash2 years ago I am surprised GN did not mention the thermal differences between the 5800X and 5700X. The first one running generally hotter due to the single singlet design and higher TDP. The latter uses significantly less power thus it should be "easier" to cool in order to keep boost clocks high even under sustained loads. ... 6
@

@Gavrev5 months ago Cheers for a helpful review Steve! I seem to fall nicely into that sweet spot, being a light gamer/creative productivity user looking to "breathe more life.." as you say, moving up from my initial drop Ryzen 1600 CPU on an Asus B350-F board. It's all in the face of peak AM4, but I spent a lot of time grasping at pragmatism and found I couldn't justify the higher price and TDP for either the 5900X (£283) or the 5800X (£223) compared to the 5700X (£156) when I was able to pull the trigger on my purchase. Next up will be a GPU - as I see it, by laying the foundation with a more competent CPU (current PSU aside) I can now open the scope to a graphics card which won't be as compromised 😎👍 ...
@

@kylestewart44442 years ago I’ve been using a 3700X since it first came out. I was building my first PC at the time and decided on X570, 3700X and a 2070 Super.
That system has treated me well for a while now but I figured now was a decent time to upgrade it. I really wanted to get a 3080, like everybody else, when they were first released but wasn’t willing or able to go stand in line at micro center every morning until one became available and I certainly wasn’t willing to pay $1,500 elsewhere for what was supposed to be $700 card.
Anyway, last night I saw that the 5800X is marked down on Amazon to $229 so I went ahead and ordered one. And I finally ordered an MSI 3080 for $750. I didn’t really need to replace the 3700X. It’s still a great processor but I figured for $230, I may as well. Of course I would have preferred to buy a 4080 but the GPU shenanigans are still in full swing and I don’t want to pay $1,300 for one when I could have a 3080 for damn near half the price. I’m playing on a nice 1440p ultrawide that I don’t plan on replacing any time soon so the 3080 should suit me just fine. Especially considering the 2070 super, despite being nowhere near as good as the 3080, still served me well for the entire time I’ve been using it.
Unfortunately because of the shortages, I had to spend $1,000 in order to upgrade my pc with what are already 2 year old parts, which is not a great feeling. It’s not that I feel the need to have cutting edge hardware, it just sucks to have to stay a full product generation behind the curve strictly because of things like shortages, scalping, supply chain problems, etc. I know I’ll be happy with my “brand new” 2 year old system for a few years though, so I’m not gonna sweat it too much. ... 2
@

@PHOBIAx57x2 years ago Is it safe to assume the 5700x would get the same temps as a 5600 with the same cooler? I have an ITX system and currently run a 3600 underclocked and undervolted, tempted to setup to the 5700x if I can keep it cool in the same way. ... 5
@

@demrasnawla2 years ago Pretty crazy that the 5700X uses half as much power as the 12600K which it trades blows with 33
@

@abduktedtemplar2 years ago About the Tower 100...you can squeeze 3 60mm noctuas on panels below the glass to boost the cooling to your GPU. Dropped my gpu temps 5-10 degrees.
@

@devilmikey002 years ago Just nice to have more options for people with older 300/400 series boards. Get a few more years out of them before having to buy Mboard/Ram and CPU for that next upgrade thanks to DDR5. 1
@

@scorntooth2 years ago Yooo! Have you guys ever considered inserting a price/performance graph? Maybe it's just a problem with me, but I find it hard to follow along sometimes-- when x product, costs whatever amount, for some percentage of performance. Having a slide for price/performance at the conclusion of all the test results, may help condense some of the content in other slides. Don't get me wrong, I'm an absolute certified GN FREAK! Love y'all! <3 ... 10
@

@extremederpz42702 years ago If only these came out a year ago, i can imagine someone having a system like the R7 5700X to an X570 motherboard paired with a 5700XT. 31
@

@NZHardhouser2 years ago $100 NZD difference in NZ at the moment, and that's after the reduction in 5800X retail costs recently. I wanted to like the 5700X - but after this review, I think I just might sit on my 3600 with a 4.6Ghz OC. I'm just a gamer and wanted to see if I would get any noticeable performance gain in say MSFS 2020 at 3440 x 1440 res - Im guessing its mostly GPU bound by that stage...
Thanks for taking the time to review this and your thoughts where it sits in the order for performance and bang for buck... Might grab one if they get discounted - but I doubt that this end of the globe... ... 1

@TH3C0012 years ago Oh boy, I could hardly wait for this one! I bought this on launch day as incentive to finally send in and replace my dead x570 board so I could use the two together. I promised myself I wouldn’t even open the box for this cpu until I replace the board, once all that’s taken care of I’ll be set and won’t need to upgrade for a good while unless it’s an upgrade to a new plaform entirely. ...

@xAuger2 years ago This will probably what I'll be jumping to from my 3600x, gonna try and stretch out am4 because am5 will probably be a little wonky at the start and its always best to wait and get the next gen. 11

@castcrus2 years ago I'm "upgrading" from a 3900x to 5700x because I don't use my PC for work as much as before, I'm now using it more for gaming. The 65w TDP will also give me less noise. 5800x3d is still asking for a lot of power, so I consider 5700x a better choice. I use a dark rock pro 4 for cooling, but I still don't like hearing it ramping up from time to time. ... 4

X370 user Crosshair6 glad my investment panned out so many year later.

@frankopanklaric2 years ago Updated my X370 board today. Getting this CPU tomorrow.

@ViktorBiohazardlast year I just got the 5700X from Amazon for 169 dollars. I'm upgrading from a 5 2600 and a GTX 1080. That was much more cheaper than change my B450 mobo for a new AM5 platform. 3

@kajijiKJJ2 years ago I sometimes see a lot of people saying it's a year late, but a year ago it took a month to book and buy even the 5600X because it was hard to get. It is a natural providence that if there is a limit to the amount of supply, it cannot be given.
AMD's breakthrough was great for fans, but sad for supply.
I'm happy with the 5600x I bought last year, but it's actually overkill. But strangely, you'll want a new CPU! ... 8

@somfler14832 years ago bummer dude was hoping the 3900x was still there for the gaming benchmarks lol great vid as always thanks steve!

@kristianzavala26492 years ago Hey Steve, I see you did not mentioned the thermals of the 5700X, I do wish you could at least pin a comment down for everyone to see how it compares to a 5800X since It could mean the reason for choosing to upgrade unto one CPU over the other inside some cases that can run hot specially on hot tropical regions of the world like mine. Thanks in advance if you do reply. ... 7

@TalesOfWar2 years ago I went with the 5800X for the very reason mentioned here. It was literally the only one I could get. I was holding out for the 5950X stock to show up (and not at insane prices when it did) but it just took too long so I pulled the trigger on the 5800X. No regrets though, it's been a fantastic bit of kit and was a rather nice improvement over the 8700K it replaced! I'm good until at least the 2nd gen AM5 stuff launches at this point, unless they truly blow the doors off of everything with the first gen stuff! ... 13

@albertov61602 years ago I think adding a game that scales well with core would be really nice. If you take something like end-game satisfactory, you need more juice to keep everything running and from what I remember that game scales up to 8 real cores.
I don't know if that 100 bucks difference for the 2 cores would be worth it (talking percent wise), so it could be useful to introduce a title in the comparison chart for that ...

@TechWechSech2 years ago Currently sitting on a 3700x and this seems like a decent upgrade.
Thanks for covering it because if you hadn't I wouldn't have know about it due to the rather silent launch :D 1

@revtoiletduck2 years ago When going through gaming benchmarks, would it be worth having a separate discussion of games that are specifically CPU-limited such as Factorio, Cities Skylines, etc.? 5

@devindykstra2 years ago Better late than never? I guess?
I'm just glad that this market undeniably has serious competition now. 5

@RJWaynerium2 years ago Looking at these charts confirms my choice of the 3900x for my 2020 build remains solid, long live!

@andrepotts78902 years ago This is great news for me. My daughter's 3570k system is starting to get long, and I went with a ryzen 3100 in my system as a hold over till cheaper ryzen 5xxx came out. 1
@

@fidobarks11642 years ago Microcenter had the 5800x at $299 and offered a $50 "new customer discount" bringing it down to $249 - That seemed like the right price for me to add to my B450 to replace my 2700x. I wouldn't have minded the lower power of the 5700x probably but spend a good bit of time in Blender so I like to imagine it goes a little faster for me. ... 5

@johnsteburg58802 years ago I'm looking more at the power consumption charts and how the CPUs fare doing professional tasks making the 5700X a valuable option in the real world work place we're pennies are pinced. Other than that if I was just a gamer the 5600 would be the way to go. Glad to see there is some great choices for those of us that prefer lower TDP and use air cooling. ... 3

@giralds20162 years ago good watch... I just bought an R7 5700x / msi x570 for a good budget gaming platform. im looking forward to getting my OC on :)
