Upgrade from a Ryzen 5 5500 to this for my kid’s system! It’s a beautiful addition to the 9060 xt and 32 GB of RAM. Now the CPU won’t be such a massive bottleneck for the games.

This CPU replaced a 5600 series and has completely transformed my existing AM4 setup! Can not recommend this purchase enough! Some slight bios configs and custom fan curves makes this really shine. Wish I wouldn't have waited as long to make the upgrade myself. So thankful AMD brought this back! Using the included Ice Pad thermal solution was easy and effective. Do yourself a favor an just purchase one if it's available!

Bought this because I already had everything else I needed. Loving it. Undervolted it, lowered the power usage, AND GOT A BETTER SCORE on Cinebench 2026. I loaded SteamOS on the PC this processor is in while using an AMD GPU. Works fantastic. No issues.

So I got this CPU for a friend that's still on AM4 as an upgrade option since it would just be a drop in replacement. Honestly, especially as someone who does maintenance on computers all the time, I'm happy with the performance he was able to gain from just this upgrade. Also, the inclusion of a thermal pad also helps as someone who doesn't want to constantly repaste and do regular maintenance on someone else's machine. I just hate the state of things we're in where AM4 is still our best option for many people, but realistically I think this CPU is the limit of what people actually need for a gaming pc nowadays.

This processor despite being a few years old still has tremendous power to play even though it is a little hot but with a lot of discipation the temperatures are fixed I recommend it 100%

Great cpu. Went from 5800x to 5800x3d. All open world, mmo, or heavy sim games, gained a massive uplift. Runs great. Corsair 240mm cools it well. 80-84c under load, very stable -30 offset. Very happy. X570 board, 7900xt, 32gb ram. And all m.2 drives.

Works great replaced an older 5800x was concerned about the thermal pad included in the box however I have had no thermal issues while the system has been running nonstop for over a week average core temp is 54C with a CCD temp of 42C

Incredible speed, performance and FPS. Stays nice and cool in my setup with a dark rock 5 air cooler.

With ram prices soaring to mortgage-like numbers, I had to stick to my trusty ole' AM4 build. First upgraded to 9070xt before gpu prices spiked and that was amazing. Then I saw how my 3600 started choking to death trying to keep up with the beast so I knew I needed this upgraded as well. Needless to say, this 5800x3D chip is fast, hot, and amazing. Had to upgraded my cooler to a Thermalright Phantom Spirit 120 to keep things cool, but wow!! If you need to stay on AM4, this definitely worth it.

Best cpu for the AM4. It really boosts graphics. I replace a Ryzen 5700x. With a good cpu heatsink I discarded the thermal pad it was too hot. With the incresed vram the pad doesnt provide enough cooling because the ram is stacked differently than the AM5 are. Thing puts the heat out. I went with Artcic MX-6 paste and a spirit cooler replacing the thermaltake 212. More surface area to the cpu 7 pipes insted of 4. I didnt want to invest more money into a water cooler for a already aged sytem. However the 5800x3d is a beast if you game like I do.

Way better than my ryzen 5 3600 and cooler definitely worth the $349 10/10

Easy to install, works great. Certainly worth the price tag!

Fantastic processor if you dont want to afford 2026 RAM prices for AM5. 5900X and 5950X are still better if you need even more cores for productivity but for single core workloads,this thing beats them.

I wanted to get a new pc but prices are crazy and instead have been upgrading my old one. I bought this and am going to buy a graphics card next and should be set for the next 4-6 years

Big ups to AMD for resurrecting this CPU in these times of grossly inflated component costs. If your a gamer and still running an AM4 board, this is your CPU. If matched with decent cooler, a modest GPU and a quick undervolt you can probably ride out the next few years without a massive cash dump to move to AM5. Just do all the things you would normally do, update drivers, firmware, bios and you'll be loving it. Best Buy...for this it was the best buy. Good price, free delivery, can't speak to customer service as it wasn't needed

if going to AM5 isn't in your budget than this CPU is a must. from what I hear, it's the best AM4 gaming CPU. I picked this up after upgrading to a RX9070XT.

Cpu works well, the carbon nanotube cooling is nice. was a bit skeptical but is 100% worth it for the thermals.

Honestly, in cpu intensive games, my frames went up by like 50% or more, but those 1% lows were so much higher that it provided a different level of smoothness. If you're on AM4 and don't have a x3d chip, this is a no brainer

Upgraded from r5 3600 to this and I’m glad I won’t have to think about upgrading till I need to upgrade motherboards

I was working with a Ryzen 5 before. Huge upgrade. Now I can play bf6, after a ram upgrade too. Great purchase!
