AMD - Ryzen 7 5800X 4th Gen 8-core, 16-threads Unlocked Desktop Processor Without Cooler

I'm happy that I was able to get this at retail price a few weeks ago from Best Buy. I still haven't been able to score a graphics card yet but hopefully someday soon. This is a great CPU, very noticeable speed increase over the ryzen 3600XT that I had prior. It runs slightly warmer but not much than the 3600xt. Just make sure you have a good CPU Cooler and adequate air flow in your case and you'll be good to go. Very good benchmark scores with just a slight overclock, worth $100 savings over the 5900x especially if you don't need the 12 cores which most people don't. I highly recommend!

This processor really packs a punch! It's quite the upgrade from my old ryzen 5 1500x. This is a pretty high grade processor, make sure to do your research before purchasing. No problems with it so far, I just built my new computer a couple of days ago and it's doing a great job!

good performance but a littel expensive. Finallly come back in stock.

Really fast processor. Being able to utilize gen4 pcei allows for super fast write speeds for my m.2 drives. Games and all load SUPER quick. I've paired this with a rtx3090 for a great 160hz gaming experience. I couldn't be more happy with this setup.

I upgraded from my i7 5820k (6C,12T). After dealing with [Intel Security] Flaw after flaw after flaw, and all the windows 10 patches that came along with them. My CPU suffered majorly in performance. It was a Haswell generation CPU which got hit the worst out of all the generations. Gaming FPS (frames per second) were noticeably worse as each patch rolled around. My average FPS was lowering significantly, my minimums were suffering and fps in general was extremely inconsistent now, and i was experiencing frame drops across all the games i played(due to the minimum fps suffering so much) Now i have upgraded to an amazing cpu, my computer has never been so fast, and my fps is very consistent now with and i have pushed the max fps ceiling higher than i have ever experienced. My 1070ti is performing way better than it ever did on my intel cpu. I highly recommend this cpu. Much faster than intel in single and multicore clocks. MUCH MUCH LOWER TDP THAN INTEL. This CPU literally sips watts when idle and doesnt go higher than the 105W TDP while gaming. i think the highest i noticed it so far was around 90W. 7nm is better than 14nm+++++++++. Ryzen 5000 series is king for gaming and productivity workloads now. (all my testing and usage has been using asus b550-f gaming wifi motherboard, BIOS version 1212, and using 2x16(32gb) 3200 C14 B Die memory, and Asus ROG Strix 1070ti)

Prior to my 5800x, I was running an Intel i5-7400. The difference is night and day obviously. Everything I was doing on my Intel CPU was starting to become sluggish, it was quite noticeable too when performing daily tasks. At first, I was doubtful whether to buy this CPU because there are two factors (currently) that make most people look over this particular CPU. The price, and the great heat that it generates. I want to believe though, that the 5800x will age very good as the years go. This processors is a beast! For gaming, this CPU is more than plenty. For media creation and productivity this processor is just right. I game from time to time, and this processor handles gaming well. I still play on a 1080p monitor, which is more CPU bound than anything. My gtx 1660 super doesn't break a sweat anymore when paired with the 5800x. If you're worried about the temperatures of the 5800x, don't worry much about it. I have a dual tower CPU cooler mounted on the 5800x with two 120mm fans. My CPU cooler is a Deepcool Neptwin V2 with the following modified fans: (not stock Deepcool fans cause they're garabage) IXF-12025-SD-W by ID-Cooling. I idle at 33c-37c. (while browsing the web with many tabs and other programs in the background). While gaming I reach temperatures between 55c-65c. Cinebench R20 benchmarks reach at max 84c. This CPU is designed to run hot for the following reason. At times, this CPU likes to boost to its advertised boosting speeds. And whilst you might not notice, temperatures do spike about 8c-10c more. However, I think this is the best feature of Zen 3. I can safely say that 5800x will serve me well for the next 5 years or so. Hopefully even more, since I don't upgrade often. My advice if you decide to purchase this CPU. Just get a decent dual tower air cooler or a premium AIO water cooler (or a custom loop if you're into thats stuff). As long as you can tame the heat generated by this beast, you can allow it to perform to it's full potential.

I did not need an upgrade but i was curious as everybody was saying great things about it so i replaced my 3700x . Its a little fester but not that was worth getting one tho . I was gonna get 5600x because i only game on this machine but friend of mine recommend it and i caved in lol . All in all its a great processor with some high temps at first that is AMD known problem . Overclocking AMD i always had higher temps then what i have with Intel . Delidding is not and option since its not give any improvements so do your best you with the water cooling and it will be ok . For me personally is not expensive and AMD did pretty good with pretty much every line they got . Overall I think this is a great processor with ok price tag . If you don't need more than 8 cores it's overkill or if you just gaming like i do but then again its not an issue for me . Like i said , runs little hotter , of course its 8 cores , but not enough to take fifth star away .

Upgrade /replaced my old AMD 8350 still was a beast of a machine. This thing kills it right out of the box. Cinebench test doesn’t even show a intel even remotely close. Little more expensive than I would like but on par with msrp. Don’t was your time with pc4000 with this I had picked up some since they say this processor and a mb support it but after updating bios and what not I had to go in and manually enter the ram it would always get it wrong and keep crashing out on powering on. The 5000 cpus come to find out like Pc3600 cl16 ram the best. You can down clock the other and make it work but for price go with the 3600
