These things are gold now with DDR5 so expensive. An unopened unit sold for $600 today on ebay. Good time to unload your "old" cpu for a few bucks if you don't plan to use it.

Heard there is a push to get AMD to re-release them so ddr4 can be used.
 
INSANE!!! Apparently 5700x3d are going for $250-300 used on eBay. That's what I paid for the whole combo (CPU, MB, 16gb ddr4, 1tb nvme) off Newegg 9/24.
I would buy a new 5700x3d for 250usd if AMD continued to produce these CPUs. I didn't upgrade in time and now they are either completely gone or have skyrocketed in price (used). I don't understand why AMD stopped producing these CPUs, for poor countries they are top-notch gaming CPUs.5500x3d,5600x3d,5700x3d and 5800x3d.
 
There is a thread on TPU about those adaptors.

I just sold a 32GB set of DDR5 and bought a pair of speakers.. crazy days.
 
Next up are SSD drives, I just don't know if they are all or just certain interfaces, m2, sata, etc.?
The snob that I am ditched SATA Nand and spinners back in 2020, so if I were to guess it would be NVME that will be next. But I heard spinners have gone up so might as well just say the computer industry will be completely fucked for the next 3-5 years.. at least. I have my doubts that recovery will be possible.. but you never know.

I kind of did that, but still have some mirrored spinners for bulk storage. They've just been banished to the file server/linux box in the basement. That box also has NVME drives, and the rest of my machines are NVME only. I probably ought to think about replacing those spinners. They're 5 years old now.

I'm just glad I have a couple of DDR5 rigs. At least I have some 6400 and 6000 ram I can reuse if I need an upgrade, but I just built both of them this year so I'm good for a while.
 
Would most people even notice the difference of an X3D vs non? For that price difference, screw that..

When I was running AM4 for my rig every couple of weeks or so I would swap my 5900X out for my 5800X3D. I play at 4K so my 5900X was fine, and felt faster in pretty much everything compared to my X3D. My son is using the 5800X3D now at 1080p and that baby CPU absolutely rips lol. Such a weird little CPU. Slow for everything, but great at low res gaming.

It really depends on the game you play and the settings. Some games really benefit from that 3D cache. In World of Warcraft for example, the difference is quite substantial. I went through 3 CPUs when I was on AM4, starting with a 3900X, upgrading to a 5900X, and finally a 5800X3D. The upgrade from the 5900X to the 5800X3D was far more noticeable than the upgrade from the 3900X to the 5900X, for my purposes at least.

After I built my AM5 setup, I built a system out of my AM4 parts and sold it locally for a fair amount of money. Part of me wishes that I had kept it and upgraded my backup system with it, but the old X99 hardware in my backup system still seemes fine for a system that rarely gets used.

Kingston says that it is not withdrawing from the consumer segment, but that prices will gradually increase as inventory is depleted.
Some data centers mostly use ddr4, ddr5 and ssd, the margins are high. And he also says that the prices of raw NAND flash memory have increased by 246% compared to the first quarter of 2025, and 70% of this happened in the last 60 days alone.
It's supposedly from here:

My Samsung 970 Evo Plus 500GB is holding up ok for now. I'm guessing.

please dont add to it.
the new thing going around is to use sodimm adapters to keep costs down...
So um, for someone with an extra kit of 64gb Ddr5 5600 sodimms who might want to go for a desktop build soon, how well do these adapters work, and is there anywhere reputable to order them from?

no personal experience, seemed ok on youtube vids... you can get them on newegg.
 
I received a fresh shipment of fans.

From what I gather, they are top-notch everywhere. Reviews of amd gaming cpu's ranked those cpu's within throwing distance of amd's latest and greatest.

Which may be the clue as to why amd stopped producing them.

I haven't followed the reviews of the new ones because the new one is out of my reach anyway. I've been looking at the reviews for the 5700x3d and the cpu kills the 5900xt and 5950xt in games. It would be nice if they resumed production, with the prices of ddr5 memory (ssd soon and others will probably follow) only the richest will buy the latest.
And I believe that amd can produce 5000x 3D processors without problems on old machines and with low costs.
 
That price is crazy. I sold my used Asus Crosshair VIII Dark hero, 5800x3d and 32gb 3600mhz CL 16 RAM for aprox. $400 to a friend this month. Granted it was friend price and I have a spare of the same 32GB kit new on box so it was better that my friend gets to enjoy it, rather than it collecting dust.
 
Not really. You gave flagship hardware to a friend for a really good price.

The board will always hold its value, maybe the CPU too since it is rare.

Prices do drop off after a few years. The 5800x3d is fairly old now, but could probably have gotten 30-60% more on the open market, but not much more as it is old hardware. To put things into perspective, I paid just over $600 + sales tax for 32GB DDR5 6000mhz CL 28 and a 9800x3D over the course of October and November, so $600 for a 5800x3D is nuts.
 
you gave your friend a good price on used hardware. the artificial inflation of old shit is part of the prob...

250-300$ is not terrible. I bit the bullet and got a 7600x3D vs 9800x3d when I moved to AM5 as a part of building my wife a PC with my old ITX setup.
 
It isn't my stuff, so it has zero effect on me. But 5800X3D is going for like 500usd on ebay.com right now.

Just saying your bud got a good deal.

What you paid for ram now is just the way it is. Each one of the kits that I am running right now is 760usd on newegg.com.

I got them for free, so the guy who bought them originally for sure did not pay that much.

Heck I sold one of my pairs of Lexar 6000C30 and bought a pair of floor standing speakers. I paid like 200CAD for them originally.

The approx $600 + sales tax wasn't just for the RAM, that included the 9800x3D CPU from retail, so not bad at all. Out of that, the CPU was about $390 + sales tax, which is why I can't understand why anyone would pay more for an old and much slower CPU. Sure VRAM is in short supply now, but it would make more sense to though it out than to overpay a lot for a zen 3 CPU.

Yup, Zen 3 is pretty slow these days. Would not recommend.

I do have 2 Zen 3 boxes running right now, no problems.. just slow.

Very nice price, you didn't cheat your friend. Now I found an ad asking 900eur for a 5700x3d, 32gb 3200mhz ddr4 and B550 mbo.
Soon some people will be able to make money on NVME drives, especially those that are high end like Samsung. Those who bought at lower prices and didn't open the boxes or install the ssd will make the most money.

By the way, this Asus MBO costs 492EUR new here in Europe. That's the current price.
just bite the bullet and get a cheap AM5 and deal with memory. At those prices why invest in a dead socket is beyond me

Nothing from the new AM5 kit, there's nothing cheap anymore, I'm pushing the 5600X until it dies, I OC'd it as much as I can and that's it.
And 5700x3d at these prices, normally I won't buy it. If amd started producing huge quantities of 5000X3D cpus at a low price again, then I would buy it.

9600x or an older 7600x or if you have a MC in your area 7600x 3d. Someone who is buying new am5 all the way

7600x3d is around 300eur, 9600x around 200eur, 7600x a little under 200eur. I don't need AM5, I would be happy with 5700X3D.
 
but your investing in a dead socket. IDK if I were upgrading an existing AM4 yes but if buying new AM5 all the way.
If I put $ into a dead socket I think I'd be more likely to do a cheap LGA 1700 Intel upgrade and just reuse the DDR4. You can still get cheap $120-150 DDR4 B760 boards. ~$210 14600K should be enough to keep up with a 5800X3D, so ~$350 new in box with warranty for board & proc vs. $600 for a used 5800X3D. Ok, maybe I'd also need a new cpu cooler. Still cheaper, should roughly keep up in gaming, faster in just about everything else, and new with a warranty. I think the only way I'd ever consider a used 5800X3D for $600 is if I had a really nice AM4 board, 64GB of good/decent DDR4, and wanted 64GB on the new build. Otherwise I'd cheap out and buy a cheap throwaway board + Intel proc or bite the bullet and buy the DDR5.

Intel is out of the question, I have no idea who buys a 5800x3d for 600usd and why, I certainly won't. If they started selling a 5700x3d for 200-250usd then I would probably buy it.
