I was on AM4 5900X.
I've jumped up to AM5 7800x3D.
The way I see it, is, that I can drop a Zen5 x3D CPU in when they arrive.
5900X chips are still fetching good money 2nd hand, plus I have an AM4 board to sell, which will help towards the purchase.

It could be another year until the 9800X3D is released, and then another 6 months on top of that for the price to come down to a sensible level.

Mobo prices and CPU prices have dropped recently making it tempting. I'm holding for late 2024 before upgrading my 5950X.
Yup, prices are good right now ... with some fantastic "flash" sales if you keep an eye out eg. nabbed an MSI X670E Carbon Wifi today for £309 ( normally £429 ) and a 7800X3D for £329.
I wasn't aware AM5 mobo prices had dropped but I did see a new chipset is going to be released with zen 5 and also saw other day that AM5+ is on the way possibly next year, which might explain recent price cuts.
I'm keeping an eye out because I want to upgrade as my AM4 board is 6 years old now
Literally just listening to Redtech and apparently Non 3D variants of Zen 5 coming July and 3D variants at CES in January

Funny to go from a CPU pushing 80-100% in games to the 7800X3D just chilling at 10-20% or so. Looking like an excellent upgrade so far.

Putting together a rig for a family member with a 7800X3D, I remember there being a tool to do a minus offset. Is that still a thing for these chips ?

Thanks bud, Good to see you again, Haven't seen you in ages.
Welcome to the club.
Without going into too much detail, as I'm sure you've explained this multiple times since it came out.
Is it similar to yuri bublys Hydra?.
Or a better, quicker, curve optimizer tool.
Thanks for your help with my Nitro by the way,
Like Dicehunter said, 7900 GPU thread seems quiet these days.

It allows you to change a lot of PBO values and other BIOS options in software, in real time, in Windows without having to restart between changes.
I really only use it for adjusting curve optimiser values on the fly when dialling in stability. It can save you some time restarting and going into the BIOS to apply changes before retesting.
Once you know your settings, you can then enter the BIOS and enter them and never need use the app again.

The sweetspot for the 7800X3D from what I've read is 6000MHz with CL30.

That’s what everyone told me and what I did.
