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.

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.

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

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.

The 5800XT is a smart and powerful choice for anyone looking to maximize their AM4 motherboard's potential without a complete platform overhaul. It provides a significant uplift in multi-threaded performance for content creation, streaming, and heavy multitasking, making it a well-rounded workhorse. What truly makes it shine is its exceptional value, offering high-end performance that competes favorably with more expensive options, especially when found at a competitive price. For those seeking a final, powerful upgrade to their DDR4-based system, the Ryzen 7 5800XT is a fantastic and highly recommended option.

It is a really nice cpu. I had a ryzen 5 5000 series before upgrading and im really glad i did. I havent had any issues from heat or speed. I will say, whenever i upgrade again it will be another ryzen 7 or ryzen 9 but it will be a while

I really enjoy the CPU. The ghz is insane, allowing me to enjoy Ark Survival Ascended in all its glory. I use it in my desktop tower gaming PC. It even came with a new fan!! I didn't expect that! I dont really have anything I dislike about it! Its just a wonderful purchase! And well worth the price! Provides an enjoyable gaming experience!

Performs exactly as described, and despite what some people say, the included Wraith Prism cooler is proving to be more than sufficient. Great value imo. Running on a B450 Tomahawk Max with 32gb 3000mHz ram, and a RTX 5070 TI. Been playing Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth in 4K on max settings with no issues.

I upgraded from a R5 5500, and the difference is night and day. The processor came quickly, was well packed, and zero damage. 5/5.

makes my computer crash way less (from once in a hour to none at all). my main issue (personal) is the cooler that came with it didn’t fit into my motherboard

This is an amazing cpu for really anything, for a budget cpu you can pair it with a lot of good 1440p or even 4k gpus and you’ll still be surprised for how well it does for the price

Got this to upgrade from a outdated ryzen cpu. This one has been a massive upgrade for me at a reasonable price. Paired with a 3060, i can run any of my games with zero issues and can do my work with ease.

CPU and the cooler works really well. Great upgrade from a Ryzen 5 2600; I can finally play all my games at 1080p 60 frames.

Was a huge boost in performance compared to my ryzen 5 3600. I now have a rx 6700 gpu, b550 motherboard, and 32 gb of ram and it works amazing.
