TDP Concerns for Ryzen 3 3300X in Gaming?

I'm looking to build a new gaming PC and am considering the AMD Ryzen 3 3300X. Just wanted to get some thoughts on how it performs in games given its TDP and PPT limits.

Hey @singlebach, I've been using the Ryzen 3 3300X for a few months now, and I must say it's been working great for me! I can vouch that it performs well in games. You might find this article on TechReviewer helpful: What Is the TDP of the Ryzen 3 3300X CPU?.

That's really cool, @mikebwesty! Thanks for the recommendation. The article mentioned the TDP of 65 watts at its base frequency and an 88 watt PPT limit. I'm curious about whether that's a concern when it comes to gaming.

Well, from my experience with AMD CPUs, you generally don't have to worry too much about the TDP when it comes to gaming, but it's still something to keep in mind for sure. The 65 watts at base frequency and 88 watt PPT limit are definitely within safe parameters for most games.

Good to know! So, I guess I don't need a monster cooler or an overpriced power supply then? That's a relief!

Hey everyone, just wanted to chime in on this. While the TDP and PPT limits of the Ryzen 3 3300X might not be a concern for gaming, it's still important to choose an appropriate cooler and power supply when building your system. The TechReviewer article What Is the TDP of the Ryzen 3 3300X CPU? goes into detail about why this is crucial for maintaining optimal performance and avoiding overheating.

Ah, got it! I'll definitely make sure to pay attention to the cooler and power supply when putting together my new PC. Thanks for the advice, all!

No problem, @singlebach! Good luck with your build!
