Customer Ratings & Reviews

Im extremely happy with this cpu. Couldn’t get a 5900x for under $750 on ebay so this at $450 is the only option in my option. Did asus 5 way optimization and it set all cores to 4.675GH ran a cinebench r23 and it shut the whole system down due to hitting thermal limit. So not very happy about that.

Went from a 3800x to this. Windows 11 should really start taking better advantage of it but it is already better in everything it does. Make sure you get a good thermal paste because that will be the difference between better performance is something less than the 2700x.

Great CPU. A little overkill for strictly gaming, but wanted to future proof myself for the next couple of years with 8C/16TH. Handles anything I throw at it. Can multitask without a problem. Handles streaming and gaming perfectly.

Built new system after finally retiring my FX3850. What an insane difference 8 years of technology improvements make. Paired with 32GB DDR4, and a WD PCI 4.0 NVME drive and this system is FAAAAAST. 95th Percentile on a PassMark test!

a very good CPU over priced but nice. if your making a new build id say go intel it might be cheaper now but ryzen can have there benefits also. or spend an extra 100 bucks and get a 5900x. mine can go to 4.7 ghertz at 1.3 volts all day and probably would go higher but there would be no point

veery good procesor worth every dollar and runs games perfect

Fastest CPU I have every seen for normal office use and especially gaming. 300-400 fps on games like Valorant or CS:GO. I highly recommend checking the software on your motherboard before installing this CPU. I have a B450 motherboard that needed it the update to even run this CPU.

It seems everyone is talking about PBO2 which it is good at single thread and lightly threaded workloads But the way I see it you can undervolt it and run stable at 4.8GHz All core at just 2.25V I love it...its very very fast

This CPU has been fantastic for gaming on mid level games. From the feedback I've seen on monitoring software, I wouldn't feel like it would have any trouble with high end games.

This was an amazing purchase. The prices was best anywhere an it was on hand to walk in an purchase it on the spot.

A little overkill for pure gaming for most, but very impressive performance for ~$225. Runs a bit on the hotter side but if you have a decent case with good air flow or an AIO, it’s nothing to worry about.

Good CPU if you need the extra core/threads, and the gaming performance increase from the previous gen is nice. In terms of gaming it gets better frames than a 3900X but it is also the latest gen CPU. I would consider getting a 3900X since they are pretty close in terms of pricing especially if you do need the extra core/threads.

The best cpu ever I get so much frames and game is so smoove now

Still a good CPU even today in 2023. Would buy again for under $200

Killer processor for gaming. Replaced a Ryzen 9 3950x and it's tons faster with half the cores of the 3950x. Popped it into the socket and reinstalled the fan in about 10 mins - ridiculous performance boost. Amazing.

Really good! My boyfriends computer now runs smoother than a baby’s skin :)

it may not be a 5900x but it easily out performs my previous processor. gets anything you need done and more even with high productivity like programming and graphic design. Although when i received the product, the box looked like it got drop kicked. everything was intact though

Solid processor. If you need something more for gaming rather than productivity, (which you can still do productivity), get one as an upgrade. Do you want to get it if you have an older AM4 Zen processor.

The Ryzen 5000 series have always been good CPUs to me. This one had many questions about it when it first launched, but with its recent sales price drop it should be a no brainer for new and older pc builders.

Works great and pairs nicely with 3080 ti, flawless gaming
