Hi all AMD sifu here. I been using amd 5 3700x with Asus ROG Strix x570 for almost 2year. For 3700x the most i hate is the temperature but finally i manage to get an AIO last year Corsair H115i capellix which full load doesn't reach above 80c. Since i never use intel before, from AMD K6-2 -> Athlon64 -> Phenom then FX8350 finally jump to the 3700x. 3700x performance is really good for my daily productivity and very light gaming. From last year MCO till today my daily productivity in a day cut short maybe only 20-30%, gaming 10-20% and the rest of time watch drama/movie/surf. Still using my 3years RX570 8GB .
I really want to try out the AMD 5000 series since it will be the last of AM4 before AM5 is coming. 5900 i way out of my budget. So 5600x,5700g and 5800x which 1 should i go?

5900x out of budget
5800x Upgrade but heard this proc is more hotter than 3700x and higher power draw in multi-threaded work loads
5700G maybe in case my RX570 die i still have integrated graphics.
5600x Downgrade. Compare this with 3700x is 5600x being less 2 core 4 thread is it performance on real application have much impact? Mostly image and video editing like Adobe software, Photopia, PowerDirector 365, Handbrake and few other.

Sifu please help

Thanks Sifu for quick reply. That mean downgrading less core 5600x really hurt some real performance of application (not gaming) and waste money. Upgrading 5700G same core the improvement is not so noticeable in real application can benefic right? As for 5800x maybe some review the number is but this actual not a big performance which can .

I thought overnight selling my 3700x and jump buy 5900x (from shopee with installment 18month it might not hurt wallet so much)
Can you give more info for this 5900x. Saw you have 5900x with H150i. Can i ask what is yr proc temp normally in idle ( room without aircon ) (PBO on no oc)
If you run stress test Prime95 and cinebench r23 what is the max temp? Is it super hot? When full stress what is the max CPU Package (w)?

During day time when i using my 3700x+h115i for work my room is quite warm (no aircond in my room) i scare 5900x might be hotter .

Normally you running in normal or eco? In eco how much temp when max load?

Let say if i upgrade to 5900x will it hit the 90C

No PBO? bios disable? So you running on base clock?

Thanks TristanX. I finally remember this pass whole year which i really forgotten my 3700x was set running in PBO all core in 4225MHz.
Set everything back to Default now. Max Temp is below 70c most of the time
