Great little CPU if you can get it at a decent price. I managed to pick it up for $350 with some rebates so it was a no brainer choice. Only thing of notice with this CPU is it runs a bit warmer than other Zen 3 based CPUs. Its not uncommon for this to hit 80c while working under my 360mm AIO. But the performance is there.

Much faster and more reliable than previous architectures. I also upgraded from a Ryzen 5, and I can tell the difference. Now, there are some kinds of ram that don't play nice with Ryzen, but if you look it up and make sure your mobo and ram are compatible, you'll have a great time with this processor.

Amazing cpu. Great price to performance. I have beaten this thing up with a cheap fan with ni dip in quality.

[Employee of bestbuy] Huge upgrade from my Ryzen 5 5600 and I love it, works amazing and probably be my last Am4 CPU.

Was running a 3600x and switched to this so much better every thing runs better it runs cooler love it

Very fast and efficient, and best bang for the buck.

Very great CPU it was definitely worth buying over all very great product and I would highly recommend this to anyone. The only downside is it did not come with a cooler but of course if you're buying something like this you should already have one!

Incredible quality for a new CPU! I upgraded from the Ryzen 3600 and immediately felt an improvement in software. I think the price to performance on this for AMD is very solid and it’s definitely a very easy recommendation from me. I think the 8-cores is worth it from a gamer and photo/video editor’s perspective

Very lightweight, easy to install and can handle most intense processes with ease. It’s also very future proof as I don’t even reach over 60% while gaming and other windows open.

Really good cpu, but grab the 7800x if you have the extra cash. Will handle anything you throw at it but still more of a mid range cpu when it comes to gaming.

Great CPU for todays games and task. Feel in love with AMD a few years ago and won’t go back. Quick load speeds as well as great for multitasking projects like adobe photoshop and premiere.

This processor is fast, and runs cooler than competing Intel products, and a good B550 board is all you need - and those boards are far less expensive than boards for Intel CPUs. AMD is getting greedy, however, so AMD might not be the value leader for much longer. So, do your homework before you buy.

Thermals are good and everything is working great so far. The CPU arrived on time, and the build went like clockwork. I'm still trying to get a new GPU though. I'm using my old GPU from my previous desktop with Intel Ivy Bridge so the 5800 is a big improvement.

Great versatile CPU for gaming or heavy rendering or workstation applications. Can't go wrong with the price, can't go wrong with Best Buy! If there was any con to this purchase its the fact you need to have a cooler for it or buy one. Otherwise, good deal!

Works great ! Well needed upgrade for my pc and has it running much faster and matched with my 3060 I run a lot of games at good fps

Upgraded from an i5-8600k and it has made a tremendous difference in multitasking and a decent difference in frames on newer CPU intensive games at 1440p. The 5600x wasn't quite enough of an upgrade to merit the cost and the 5900x (and beyond) was overkill so this hit the sweet spot for me. I would heartily recommend this processor!

This is my second AMD comp that I have built. I am totally satisfied with the performance. I have not come across any game issues or program bottlenecks as the average person should not with a cpu of this caliber. I am a PC gamer and paired this with RTX 3090 and a 570 mobo. My system works great

Honestly a really good cpu. Every game I played had more than 200+ fps on high setting with my rtx 3070 and 32gb of ram but the commas it run so much batter.

Solid CPU for the price point. Enough processing power to get the job done without breaking the bank.

Upgraded to this from the 2700x and got a huge performance boost, I really don't have any problems on games now with low fps. The PBO 2 works really good on my CPU as well to help lower temps and boost performance.
