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

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

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.

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

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.

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.

Great CPU, crushes everything I can throw at it. I got it for $275 and I can’t imagine finding a better cpu for the price

Super fast processor! Loved the cpu even though I had to send it back, which was all on me for thinking I could handle this in an itx air cooled build. ended up getting a 5600x as its a 65w cpu. But, I wish i could have used this as the extra 2 cores would help keep the build more relevant longer. Best Buy has a simple and easy return process. Their pickup system and shipping products system is fast, easy and convenient. They have earned 5 stars too.

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

Super duper affordable and very fast works with my gpu perfectly

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

I upgraded from an i5 9400f and couldn't be happier with the performance increase. Temps never get above 65c with a kraken 360 aio and usually hover between 59c and 61c under load. If availability wasn't a problem, I would have picked a 5600x as it is a much better value for gaming. $450 is a little much for 8 cores but they still ended up with my money so....

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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