      Hits 5 ghz with simple OC

      I was hesitant to get this CPU. I thought of maybe going with an AM5 system but my budget was not enough. So far this has been a crusher. With just a simple OC within the AMD Adrenalin settings I am hitting over 5 ghz...not a typo...hitting 5 ghz with a simple OC. Voltage does not go above 1.488, The temp stays in the low 80's or lower. I did change the wraith prism cooler which was nice but did not keep it cool enough. I was only able to hit the 5 g mark with the cheap aftermarket cooler.

      3700x to 5800XT

      Upgraded from an Ryzen 7 3700X & it has been a pretty dramatic improvement. Games load quicker, and overall perform much better than the 3700x. It does run a little hotter than the 3700x so make sure you pair with an AIO.

      Great mid level CPU

      Great cpu for the price. It’s paired with a 6800xt in my wife’s pc. Shes playing at 1080p but it could easily handle ultra 1440p. Came with a stock cpu cooler that has rgb doesn’t look bad for a stock cooler!
