AMD - Ryzen 9 5900X 4th Gen 12-core, 24-threads Unlocked Desktop Processor Without Cooler

The Ryzen 5900x CPU is amazing. Does All-Core 4.750Ghz using Precision Boost 0verdrive 2. Turbo's to 5Ghz or more on some cores. A significant jump from Ryzen 3000 series chips or older. Sockets directly into your existing or new B450/B550 and X570 motherboards. Make sure your BIOS is updated. Any of the 5xxx series processors will work out great to be honest, but if you are an extreme overclocker or want to keep your system around longer before it's replacement is required, you might want to splurge on the 5900x or 5950x.

Runs like a champ. Mine boosts above advertised boost clock (4.85Ghz) with no OC. Runs 10-20C cooler than my i7 which has a 40W lower TDP, so IHS seems high quality. Major props to Best Buy for rolling these out in such a way that real people can actually buy them.

The ryzen 9 5900x is an extremely fast processor that will be able to handle anything you throw at it. It is a must buy for anyone who can get their hands on it!

What can i say? if you bought this , you know what you are getting. If you're trying to buy it, you know what you are looking for.

12 cores 24 threads at 4.7ghz Pretty good Unfortunately I didn't win the silicon lottery I can't do all @4.8 and can't single core a 5ghz. Sad face . Coming from a 2700x I don't know how good it is in games because I can't purchase any rtx 3000 series cards or a rdna 2 cards . I'm too hard headed to purchase above MSRP prices. If everybody was like me scalpers wouldn't exist.

Very nice CPU! The 12 cores really hit the spot especially for heavy workloads. Gaming you won’t see much difference between this and the 5600x but there will be a slight boost if connected with the 3080 or 6800xt. Overall excellent CPU. Goodbye Intel!

An absolute beast. Upgraded from an Amd 3700x for the needed extra cores. I had 3900XT for a couple of days, and productivity difference between it and the 5900X is only minor, but you can see a real difference in the boost to FPS with gaming. Mine under volts very well and can hit 4.9 to 4.95 across the cores in light loads. Temps reach upto 84 degrees in a warm room gaming for an extended period of time, but just pummeling it with work at close to 100% utilization it only reaches about 65 degrees and all cores sit around 4.375. I've only lowered the curve and have not really fiddled with over clocking. It was quick and easy in the bios, and not in Ryzen Master. I'm very impressed with performance for gaming, but over 3900X/XT it is not a massive gain for work. I just wish there was not the shortage. I actually did not think I would get lucky on getting one, and purchased the 3900XT.

Great cpu - 0 stutters Upgraded from an intel i5 7600k that had mild stuttering on the random occasion. Have had no such issues thus far. idle around 35-40C with a 360 aio. Browsing/streaming videos and cpu hovers below 3% usage compared to the 20%+ of my i5. Amazing all around. Only real issue is installation. Having to flash bios on motherboards require an older chip or has you tinkering around with your motherboard until it works. Definitely frustrating to troubleshoot but it'd a one and done thing so I guess I don't mind too much.
