    Awesome cpu, upgraded from a ryzen 5 3600 (non x) and even just the 1 generation gap saw noticable gains in the games i play.

    I had to buy a new MOBO and CPU for my rig and the less expensive one was this CPU. Not a huge fan of amd but it is a little better than my previous intel CPU it will run any game you can throw at it, the only downside for me is that it gets insanely hot going beyond 100 degrees Celsius with the stock cooler fan and base clock speed I had to undervolt it and now it doesn't go past 75 degrees

    CPU worked perfectly on a Ryzen motherboard replacing an older CPU. Easy to install and came with the thermal paste and all items necessary to successfully install the CPU.

    Love this CPU, really needed a new one after my old intel CPU went bust. Easy to install but make sure to watch some videos so you can get it right the first time

    A fine CPU to use for gaming. I like that it has 6 cores and 12 threads to make is snappier. Good processor. No complaints.

    Was really lucky to get this in January with my 3080 but the availability is great now. I am able to hit FCLK 1900 so far so I have my ram at 3800 CL 16. PBO at 4.8 was giving me BSODs before but the new BIOS update seemed to have fixed it.
