Customer Ratings & Reviews

8 cores 16 threads, runs cool on air cooling. Boosts to 4.5ghz no problems on a lower end Asrock board. AMD is really doing great nowadays. 100% recommend this cpu if you want a nice boost in speed over the slower 3700x.

Bought this for my fiancée as an upgrade to her old i3 3240 the difference was night and day, she loves it, we can play all the games that we want to play together with no issues, planning on getting her a VR headset soon, this is definitely going to be plenty for VR.

I was able to get this CPU for $330 which is the price of the slightly lower clocked 3700X. This is a beast of a CPU for such a price. I'm still an Intel guy at heart, but it's hard to argue with the facts.

10/10 would recommend. Was an Intel fanboy, but no longer. Handles everything i could ask for, and then some. Still haven't reached full potential would recommend over anything Intel on the market, best bang for your buck heading towards highend.

First processor for my first gaming pc, the fan it comes with is more than enough to cool it. It overall runs very well and recommend. You don't need anything higher the 8 cores are enough, it would just be bragging rights at that point

I am super pleased with this processor coming from an 8350 to this one. Runs fantastic and the cooling option it comes with seems to keep it reasonably cool.my son use it for homework but mostly gaming.

i went for a high upgrade from my old processor, this is worth the extra money from the lower grade ryzen 7 and much better bang for your buck than the ryzen 9.

I came from a Ryzen 5 3600 as the title describes. Just missed my return window as I noticed a bit of stuttering on Warzone and didn't see this on my main build (i7 9700K) switched over to this one and all stuttering is gone in game and also stays relatively cool and the wattage doesn't creep into the 100W range, which is what I thought would've happened given the TDP jump from 65w to 105w if I remember correctly. Great CPU overall and I'll take a few FPS hit for more future proof features like PCI-e Gen4

For gaming this cpu is all the power you need, overclocking is not even necessary. price is great, always a good sale on ryzen products

installed on x570 motherboard and this CPU out performs my older Intel i7-4470 system. i have been able to slightly overclock and get a little more from it, but not much!

had to update bios on older x470 mobo. used mostly for gaming runs all my games at ultra would buy again

Got a great deal on the baby which kickstarted the build I'm currently typing on. Great speed and OC abilities. AMD is on a roll.

Great CPU works well. I paired it with a 3070 when it came out. Killer gaming system I put them both together. Got a love AMD over and intel.

Its so good and working perfectly fine and its good for its price and easy to use and it doesn't even need a professional installation

Fast processor at a decent price. Suits most gaming needs until.the higher end ryzen chips go down in price it's the best value for the power it provides.

This processor is an absolute monster performance wise. Along with the very reasonable price, it's a no brainer to start with the 3800X when building out a new pc.

Worked fantastic while I had it. Definitely a good upgrade over the 1700x I had prior. I was able to snag a 5800x, which is also a huge improvement even over the 3800x. Either way, happy with the performance and would recommend if you can get it around 320 like I was able to while it was on sale. Before I was getting about 100-110 fps with the 1700x and an Rtx 3080. The 3800x got me 10-20 extra on top of that.

So this is a higher clocked (stock and boost) 3700x. The extra speed isn't really that noticeable unless you're running multi core / multi thread apps on the regular. For gamers, it's overkill - save $100+ dollars and get the 6-core Ryzen 5 3600 instead and use the extra money for a higher end video card. This CPU runs hotter than Intel btw, idle at about 42c, around 70c gaming with the included cooler.

Nice performance increase from my old computer. I did not quite realize how much I needed the upgrade. I was wanting the Ryzen 5 5600, but they are just plain unavailable right now. Got this for a little less. Overall, I think I have about the same performance as the newer chip due to this one having a couple extra cores.

A very powerful cpu for a good price. Needed this to use a 3080 without a bottleneck of my old cpu
