    Major upgrade.

    I picked this up to upgrade from an older AMD 2700 processor that I brought back in '19. Seen a huge improvement in PC performance in both gaming and productivity when paired with the MSI Tomahawk B550 MB. Was easy to install, set up, and been running at a cool temperature during intense gaming sessions. A great processor for a good price in these rising PC component days.

    Great AM4 CPU. High end performance on a budget.

    I paired the RYZEN 7 5800XT with an MSI B550 Tomahawk MB and an AMD rx7700 xt video card and 32 GB DDR4 3200 memory. It is air cooled with a dual fan cooler in a 7 fan case. I run Ghost Recon at all ultra settings on a 5160x1440 ultra widescreen OLED monitor at 80plus fps. Under heavy load it runs at about 75C and idles at 35 to 42C. It's single core speed and boost speed are it's strengths. If you are not chasing bragging stats and want a solid cpu this is a good choice. The X version has similar performance. I got the XT cheaper on sale at the time, probably because the XT was not a bargain comapted to the X. The XT is overclocked just a 100mhz over the X version, so that might be a better buy for the budget conscious. Obviously there are better options for users that heavily tax multicore processing like 4k video editing. Although with enough memory I suspect this would handle it. NOTE: If you can, turn any top of the case exhaust fans that are in front of your air cooled cpu around so they draw cool air for the CPU. It makes a difference. Thermal studies show this. Makes no sense to exhaust cool air the front fans have just drawn in immediately pull it out the top before it ever reaches the CPU and other case components.

    Awesome setup!

    It works great, solid for the price point its at. Definitely recommend, plus the new cooling is a plus

    Great upgrade

    Got this for an upgrade to my pc and all I can say is that it made it better. Also it comes with a cooler if you didn’t know, but only has one way to fit it and my case didn’t have that part.
