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

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).

I have this paired with 32gb of DDR4 3600 and an RX 580. The boost it gave over my old i5 4690k was huge. My CPU score in 3DMark jumped over 250% which means the IPC of this CPU is over twice as fast as my previous. Yes my GPU is a bit of a bottleneck especially at 1440p, but until the mining craze subsides I can’t really fix that. Using Ryzen Master I got an all core OC to 4.95Ghz just using the auto OC button and it has been stable for weeks. I honestly wanted a 5600x but with limited availability on all CPUs I jumped on this when I saw it was in stock. No regrets, would buy again.

Picked up one of these when I couldn't get a 5900x. I definitely don't regret it. It's very fast even with PBO off, which I did to help keep temps down. It does run a little warm (idle 40 to 50c 60 to 70c gaming and I've had it up to 89.5c running benchmarks) but it just chugs along. Make sure you have a robust cooler. All in all, great CPU just runs warm and price to performance ratio is off.

This processor performs like a champ. Worth the money for sure. Paired with some fast memory this cpu is beastly.

Amazing all around, great ability for the price, Would recommend

This does a great job of doing tasks, and it will overclock 4 sets of memory properly, unlike my ryzen 5 5600g

Outstanding processor. I originally wanted to get a 9 5900-x, and I had some concern this could bottleneck my GPU (RTX 3090). According to Benchmarks, bottlenecks on tests are 1-2% IF present, and I haven’t noticed them. Warzone at max settings with 140-160 FPS in DLSS. Haven’t tried streaming, so don’t know how multitasking will hold up, but otherwise, I don’t think I could ask for better performance out of the PC I put together with this product.

Very powerful cpu. Upgraded from a 2700 ryzen 7. Noticed big difference paired it with a asus x570 motherboard.

Has been an excellent cpu, for school work and 1440p gaming, I love it

High performance, 8 cores. What more could you want? This is perfect for gaming.

Super duper affordable and very fast works with my gpu perfectly

One of the best cpus for the money at the moment. Over performs with basic oc. No complaints

Good Processor for a budget build in 2023. Should probably get the X3D model for gaming, but the price difference did not make it worth it for me. Runs games well as it is. Though undervolting is a must due to thermal theottling even with a high end air cooler. Will probably last a good number of years until Am5 is stable enough to convinve me to upgrade.

Very impressed with the speed. Rock solid performance. Best 8-core chip available on the market currently.

Works perfect, sale price is amazing! Fits the msi board we bought perfect.

Amazing performance and great CPU for long term use. Upgraded from a Ryzen 5 2600 and am very satisfied. Gaming and editing is even better than before!

Bought this for less that $400 last year. Rig boots up incredibly fast. Paired with X570 Aorus Elite and 32gb Ribjaws V Series 4000mhz CL-16 memory, I have zero complaints and all smiles. I mainly use it for gaming. I have a 6700 XT GPU and play COD and averaging about 140fps in 1440p. This is without overclocking. Programs run smooth. No hesitation, even when popping up the game bar. My son prefers playing Fortnite and Roblox on this rig rather than his i5-6700 with a RX 480 for obvious reasons.

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