these new cpu's are selling way above msrp everywhere, i was so lucky to find it at best buy at msrp. best 8 core gaming cpu on the market

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

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

This processor runs great. The only issue with it is that it runs hotter than an average AMD processor. This is due to the chip placement. If you purchase it and are worried about the temps, I recommend undervolting it. How to do that will depend on your motherboard’s manufacturer and bios. Google and Youtube will be your friend to find out how. I run a Corsair Nautilus liquid cooler with mine & I have undervolted it. My idle temps hover around 31c in windows and 35-36c while in the bios.

Super fast and efficient Ryzen CPUs are some of the best bang for buck processors you can buy. Decided to upgrade from my 9600k to Ryzen and wasn't disappointed. The Ryzen PC was noticeably faster. Being as it was made on a smaller die process it can produce amazing performance for less wattage and heat. The only watch out would be if your a long time intel user, some of the technologies your used to may differ on Ryzen. For example, XMT profiles for ram is called something different for Ryzen and overclocking can be a bit different if you're not used to overclocking on AMD chips.

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.

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

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.

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

One of the Last AM4 Platform Processors and a great choice!

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 ;-)

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.

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.

I've had this CPU for almost 3 years and it's still a great all-rounder. It's getting to be a bit long-in-the-tooth compared to the newer X3D CPUs in gaming, but if you can find a great deal on it (sub-$200), it's still solid. It does run a bit hot though, so that's something to be aware of (used it with a Noctua NH-U14S and it was fine).

Awesome CPU! Great for intense gaming paired with a sturdy GPU

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.

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 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

Grabbed this processor on a great sale. Got it for 250 and it's been an absolute beast so far. Coming from a 3rd gen I7 that was struggling with any modern tasks. This is worlds more powerful and got to repurpose a B450F ASUS ROG Strix motherboard with a Bios update that allowed this to work in it no problem. Highly recommended and can't wait to get some water-cooling and do some OCing.

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