Customer Ratings & Reviews

Definitely money well spent, Im glad I have waited for the right time and it’s honestly the best cpu I have ever purchased my whole entire career building PCs. Other reviews may say “it’s only good for gaming” that’s false because it’s the best gaming cpu on the market for AM4 and you can use it for other tasks other than gaming because it works fine just like 5800x.

Fast processing easy to use works well updates well

Games runs smoother and streaming is smoother. Love the speed and is just a great processor.

Insane cpu! This runs my pc smoothly and is one of the best on the market for CHEAP!

This thing is a powerhouse of a 8 core 16 thread processor. Went into the settings got AMD curve Optimizer going with a -20 all core and 200 offset 5.05ghz on 4+ cores.

its an amazing cpu for the price, and you won't be dissappointed. not that you need me to tell you that, of course you already knew ;-)

Built new pc with this and it runs like a dream! Very happy I was able to snag one of these. That's really the only negative about these AMD 5000x processors, they're hard to get. Have it connected to Corsair H110i radiator and glad I didn't have to deal with a bundled in CPU fan that I wasn't going to use. If you're looking at the 5800x or 5900x you're definitely going to need a more robust cooling solution anyways. 5600x still comes bundled with fan if your not planning to do anything too taxing to your PC.

Zen 3 architecture PCIe gen 4 8 cores 16 threads.. not sure what more you want.. upgrading my 1800x to this increased my frames on avg 30 fps. Still running 1080 ti.

Wow i am so happy with this cpu purchase, i had a 5600g before with 6 cores. This cpu is a beast and priced a great deal.

An amazing CPU with exceptional performance, if you can get your hands on one. ++ Very strong IPC, over 20% improvements versus Ryzen 3000 series + excellent gaming performance when paired with a high end GPU - runs hotter than its siblings due to it being a full 8-core chiplet, needs beefy cooler - pricing is a tad high, competing with high core count CPUs - needs a BIOS update to work with most motherboards out of the box - availability

I decided to upgrade my motherboard and CPU from a 1700x to this 5800x and noticed a decent bump in performance over the older 1700x. Solid CPU at a great value.

An amazing processor! It took a while to obtain but was worth the wait. If you have the money (and opportunity) to buy a 5900x though I would recommend that for the core count. Otherwise this is a solid processor. Out of box performance: amazing, but runs a little hot. I've heard it's normal and still runs up to 4.7GHz on all core. Easily reaches target 4.8 on single core and occasional bumps to 4.85 Recommendation to buyer: take the time to go in bios and turn on PBO2. There are tons of guides online and drastically improves Temps and performance. I got idle Temps down by about 7 degrees and easily passed 5GHz single core

For the price this cpu does everything I need, glad I got this one

A great little CPU. It performs exactly as expected with plenty of cores

Impressive processor. Plenty of cores/threads for everything you need. Undervolt to get a bit more performance, better temps, and efficiency.

Moreover, the overall performance of this processor was exceptional. It effortlessly handled all the tasks I threw at it, from demanding applications to resource-intensive gaming. The product's powerful performance ensured smooth multitasking and quick response times, enhancing my overall productivity.

I upgraded from a Ryzen 2700x to the Ryzen 5800x. It is noticeably faster in everything I use. Like others have written, it is a little on the pricier side of things when compared to the 5600x and the 5900x. That aside, you are getting one of the fastest gaming processors available. Note: these processors can get pretty toasty. They are designed to run hotter than the 3000 and 2000 series ryzens. Under a custom water loop with a 360mm radiator and an EKWB on the processor, it hits 76C in cinebench r23.

Great processor. Most up to date and it does productivity super well. AMD is a powerhouse these days and make great processors.

I recently upgraded from a Ryzen 5 3600X and I'm so glad that I did. This cpu is great. Faster speeds and more FPS.

upgraded my 2700x to this one for the new instruction set and I will never look back. Made my computer run smoother in all applications very happy with the purchase. Bestbuy was great also they matched a cheaper price from another vendor. Thank you for that it was nice to be able to walk into a store and leave with what I wanted. With todays market we can't always do that anymore.
