    I had already puchased an AMD 3600 with knowing I would eventually upgrade into the 5000 series. This product was prefect once it went on sale for $159. Hopefully, GPU prices will also come down soon so I can upgrade from a 3060 to a 3070ti without breaking the bank.

    Bought this cpu for my kids gaming pc. For the price point its best bang for the buck for what they need. Performs just as good as the 5800x and 5900x in my opinion. Boosting up to 4.7 on a b550 board. Paired with a 6800 and 3600 cl16 memory and has no issues in games.

    I'm glad I bought the processor with the cooling fan because it saves me a lot of hassle. Like all CPUs, you have to be extremely careful so you don't break a pin. It does it's job and it works well.

    No issues so far, been using it for a while. It’s great and my pc runs fantastic with it, a huge upgrade from the previous cpu, would recommend as a more affordable option compared to other cpu’s in the market.

    Very impressed by the speed and also the low heat it generates. I coupled it with a Noctua NH-U14S which seems overkill but is very silent. I didn't try to overclocked it.

    Comes with a stock heatsink and fan which is basically useless to cool this. I haven't had any performance issues other than CPU stress tests which would probably bottleneck the entire 5 series. Plenty good for my everyday needs.

    Great processor can handle a heavy load and triple A games. This processor is great for my build. I built a PC recently for studio recording and pro production and chose this. I also use it to stream to twitch a edit videos. this thing is a beast when you overclock it.

    These new 5000 series AMD processors are fantastic and a huge upgrade from the last generation. This CPU works great with all of the latest games like Call of Duty. I'm glad I made this purchase and BestBuy does a great job of blocking bots from buying these highly-desired items.

    Was a nice upgrade to my Ryzen 3800X. Got everything running at max bus rates now... 7nm Vermeer (Zen 3) 65W, windows 11 ready, and comes with a fan (big plus for me)! All you really need for gaming unless you just have plenty of money to blow...

    This cpu is great, coming from a ryzen 3 this thing has some serious power to it. It has drastically improved my fps, but if you want to get a little more out of it you’ll need a good cooler. Overall this cpu is great for a lot of titles, looking forward to keeping it for a while.

    Works great in 2024 if you are on a budget. Matched with the 3070 and still able to play most AAA games above 80fps on ultra settings.

    Easy to install. Just required a Bios update with an ASUS tuf gaming x570 mobo. Processor runs great. The stock cooler keeps it around 50 degrees Celsius and around 70 under load. I eventually upgraded cooler and now it idles around 30 degrees and is about 50-60 while gaming.
