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

The performance uplift from 3900xt from 5900x is easily noticeable at 1440p gaming and office workflows. Benchmarks are great metrics but often are not translate well from numbers to actual use. Please be aware there is increased heat production in the generation update from 3000 series and would be event greater from older generations. I would advise a nh-d15 or 140mm aio equivalent should be used even without PBO enabled in a good air flow case. Overall this chip is great value at its current price point and being last AM4 socket generation.

Great processor, can run several applications without slow down. Can get a bit hot, needs paired with a good cooler, 360 AIO.

Got it on Black Friday sale to replace a 3700x. Boosted frame rates on my old 3070 by 10% on average. Frame times also more consistent and smooth.

Absolute monster of a CPU. Will handle anything with ease. Total overkill for my purposes. Gets a little a rowdy on the temps, so get an adequate cooler and plenty of airflow through your case.

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.

A MONSTER. That's really all I can say. Nothing else is needed.

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.

Great CPU for intensive tasks like code compilation, 4K video editing, etc. Needs a good cooler though. Getting 45 to 60 degrees celsius under low load, 85+ under full load.
