Very quick processor. Zero issues with running it on my newly-built desktop. The included fan took a minute to install and appeared to be a tight fit. But, that may or may not be because of the design of the motherboard I paired it with (MSI MPG Gaming Carbon Wifi). Also, the fan letters will always be sideways, since the fan (at least on my motherboard) can only be mounted 2 ways. It it not possible to mount with the AMD words facing up.

Got this to upgrade from my about 3 year old system. Originally had a Ryzen 5 2600 and still have my GTX 1080 which still perfectly fits my needs. I also did a BIOS update for my B450 board and boy, this thing blows my 2600 out of the water. Cinebench R23 shows about 1.7 times better performance. I couldn't be happier.

This CPU has been able to handle everything I threw at it. I wanted to go bigger and get a Ryzen 7 but I was told that there are diminishing returns for bigger and better CPUs, specifically in terms of gaming. I used the cooler that came with it but eventually switched to an AIO pump when I noticed my CPU temps jumping above 80 deg C.

Great price with my Birthday special. Working as intended and I couldn't be any more satisfied.

This things a beast. Upgraded from and 3600. Gets a little warm when boosted. Im using an h100i with high cfm fans venting out of the top and still hit 75c in games. But heats not a huge issue these days. Low wattage use, and great performance across the board

Best cpu for the price, installed quickly and runs very smooth.

I just installed it a few hours ago. Originally I bought the R7 5800X but went with this one instead based on price to performance benchmarks. I enabled PBO 2.0 and input my settings and curve and I'm stable with a boost clock of 4.85hz which is crazy. I'll probably disable PBO and just go with a manual OC of 4.6 or 4.7 but it's a great CPU to mess with.

Great product, fast and efficient! If I had to buy it again, I would!! Great gaming, and all around Processor.

Great budget proccesor for the price. Great frames

Solid CPU. Haven't run into any issues with it yet. The stock CPU cooler is ok. It's a little noisy for me and doesn't keep the CPU as cool as I'd like under load. The stock cooler fan is a little big and encroaches the RAM space some on my mITX board. It works for now, but I plan on buying a more efficient cooler in the near future. I would recommend that, but it's not worth knocking the rating down a 4.

It’s awesome. Very fast. Pretty good deal for the money.

Excellant CPU for the money. I upgraded from a Ryzen 5 1400 and felt a substantial increase in performance and gaming capabilities. I can now game at consistant FPS on games I previously had issues with, and even turned the graphics up higher on other games that ran fine before. I'm very pleased with this CPU and would recommend it to anyone.

Fast processor. Very happy with performance. Runs very cool. Lots of high frame rates.

Best cpu on a budget bought this gaming is smooth multitasking fast I recommend buying.

Really fast processor. Can’t beat the performance/price ratio. Worth the price IMO

Perfect for Cyberpunk 2077 paired with my 3080. Best bang for buck.

Just finished a gaming pc build and this was at the heart of it. 6 cores and 12 threads is a great for gaming and productivity work. Would recommend a cooler change but not necessary. Great CPU.

Best value AMD processor. Perfect for gaming and productivity.

Look, if you need this, it works as intended. Trust. It's an AMD CPU, Very efficient and at a good value. Currently using this alongs side my graphics card to hit 60fps @1080p.

Had to wait a long time to get it but has been worth it on my new build, fast and reasonably priced
