The AMD Ryzen 7 9800x3d is an absolute beast of a CPU. using this CPU is like opening doors as the hulk, its effortless and almost feels like overkill.

Gaming: this CPU is amazing for games, including  games that are notorious for being insanely demanding, and it runs well on even the higher graphic options like a hot knife through butter. The load time on this thing is almost non-existent, the 3D V-Cache tech this was absolutely worth it.

Cooling and Efficiency: the AMD RYZEN 7 9800X3D is cool as ice, and stays that way through even the most grueling of tasks, like heavy games or rendering things. For how much of a beast this CPU is, its temperatures stay down and the power usage is surprisingly low as well.

Compatibility: Any am5 motherboard is compatible, although you may need to do a BIOS update.

Overclocking: Its normal performance is already more than enough for most things but even then the overclocking on this thing is  superb.

final thoughts: i think this would be a fine addition to your pc build if you are a gamer, animator, or just want a beefy CPU for whatever reason.
