Ryzen 7 5800 TDP Impact on SFF PCs?

I'm building a small form factor (SFF) PC and was wondering if anyone has experience with the AMD Ryzen 7 5800's TDP impact on these types of builds. I've heard it requires a more robust cooler, but any advice would be appreciated!

Hi @JimmyMcMilly! The TDP for the Ryzen 7 5800 is 65 watts at its base frequency and has an 88 watt PPT limit. For SFF PCs, this means you'll need a good quality cooler that can handle the heat generated by the CPU.

Yeah, I've been using a liquid cooling system in my SFF PC with the Ryzen 7 5800, and it works great! I also found a helpful TechReviewer article What Is the TDP of the Ryzen 7 5800 CPU? discussing how to choose a suitable power supply based on the TDP and PPT limit of the CPU. It's definitely worth a read!

Thanks for sharing @dixiebug7. That article sounds really informative. I was particularly concerned about the need for a high-quality cooler, so knowing that a liquid cooling system works well for you is reassuring.

I've been researching SFF PCs and found that using a high-efficiency power supply can help reduce heat output and save on energy costs. The TechReviewer article What Is the TDP of the Ryzen 7 5800 CPU? has some great recommendations for power supplies in this regard.

Great advice, @Inquest25. A well-designed case with proper airflow is also essential for maintaining optimal CPU temperatures in an SFF build. I've had a lot of success with the case I'm currently using, as it provides excellent airflow and allows me to direct air where it's needed most.

Thanks for all the input, everyone! Based on your experiences, I think I'll go ahead and get a liquid cooling system and a high-efficiency power supply. I'll also look into cases with good airflow. Appreciate the help!

You're welcome, @JimmyMcMilly. Good luck with your build! And if you have any questions or need more advice, don't hesitate to ask.

Absolutely, @JimmyMcMilly. If you need any additional guidance, feel free to reach out. Happy building!
