Customer Ratings & Reviews

This processor is fantastic. As anyone who is likely to consider purchasing this cpu knows, this generation of Ryzen has taken a huge step forward in its IPC and clock speeds. This means Intel processors no longer have a huge lead in gaming, but also further increases Ryzen's dominance in productive tasks. If you are looking for a relatively future proof processor, this is a great choice. It does run quite hot due to the specific architecture of the chip, but it will stay well within safe specs.

Very fast and affordable. Easy to install as well.

Upgraded from a 3900x, and the difference is noticeable. One of the best gaming CPU's out there.

Amazing CPU none of the issues that intel presents and have had an amazing time utilizing this CPU

Such a great deal to get it at $250 and it works amazing, compared to the 3200

Excellent preformance for the price. This cpu is clocked high straight out of the box and has great preformance. I upgraded from a ryzen 7 1700 to this cpu and i noticed it a lot more than i thought i would. Just be sure to get a stronger cooler than a stock amd one because it wont be enough to cool this.

Performance with this processor is great as expected, price matched below MSRP made this a very worthwhile purchase.

Bought this CPU to compliment my 7800XT. I have no issues with this CPU. Make sure to buy a AIO or beefed up heatsink. I haven't overclocked it, and I think I won't have to because it is doing it's job. Recommend for higher end desktop computers.

Using this in a micro PC case. Not one to overclock or push the CPU over stock, but this CPU provides a fair amount of oomp for the cost. Prior AMD CPUs when paired with the motherboards I'd bought always seemed to have quirks that led to crashes. Especially after upgrading to Win 11, this CPU has been 100% stable and actually seems faster on Win 11 than on Win 10.

easy install defiantly a high end upgrade great for gaming

Its a great cpu for work or gaming it has bice overclock capabilities

Lucky to score a rtx 3080 on launch day, and built a PC around it. I originally had a 3700x and I expected no issues but I found it bottlenecking when I was playing at 1440P 240hz. I have read the mixed reviews on this processor and its price but if your looking for that extra oomphhh the CPU is stellar and blows the 3700x out of the water in COD Warzone, which is what I was aiming for. Some games were only using 800-85% of my gpu but now its always 95%. If your on the edge and not sure if you should pull the trigger this one beast of an 8-core processor at what is most likely AMD's end of for this chipset, which gives it a chance to stand up for a while.

Amazing cpu. Great price to performance. I have beaten this thing up with a cheap fan with ni dip in quality.

Great chip for older rigs.... breaths new life into them so it won't bottle-neck newer GPU cards. This should handle up to an RTX4050 or AMD 6000 series video card no issue (any higher than these GPU, and you will need to go to the next gen of CPU)

Fast CPU, great value, easy to install. overclock ready

Great cpu, got the ryzen 7 on sale! Which really saved me money and ready to game!

I had a 3700x processor and I was having all sorts of problems (could not shut off computer, would not go into sleep mode. I bought this 5800x processor and I no longer have any problems. It runs quickly, boots a little faster, sleep mode works and I can now turn off my computer at night without having to restore Windows 11.

Upgraded from 7700k to this and am very happy. It's a beast of a processor. Great for gaming and rendering

Installed and worked as designed under heavy load it heatsoaked my air cooler quicklu but once i upgraded to a aio liquid cooler it works flawless

Was running a 3600x and switched to this so much better every thing runs better it runs cooler love it
