Customer Ratings & Reviews

Bought this as a upgrade to my Ryzen 5 1600 Cpu. Had to update the Mobo but other than that this chip has been a beast!

Overall a good processor for the money, especially with gaming and when paired with a GPU like a 3060, though it runs really hot sometimes so make sure to have a good cooler.

This CPU has been fantastic for gaming on mid level games. From the feedback I've seen on monitoring software, I wouldn't feel like it would have any trouble with high end games.

This processor is fast, and runs cooler than competing Intel products, and a good B550 board is all you need - and those boards are far less expensive than boards for Intel CPUs. AMD is getting greedy, however, so AMD might not be the value leader for much longer. So, do your homework before you buy.

Excellent upgrade from Ryzen 5 5600 to Ryzen 7 5800x. I am using an Artic Freezer 36 cooler.

Incredible quality for a new CPU! I upgraded from the Ryzen 3600 and immediately felt an improvement in software. I think the price to performance on this for AMD is very solid and it’s definitely a very easy recommendation from me. I think the 8-cores is worth it from a gamer and photo/video editor’s perspective

Very fast and efficient, and best bang for the buck.

This is my second AMD comp that I have built. I am totally satisfied with the performance. I have not come across any game issues or program bottlenecks as the average person should not with a cpu of this caliber. I am a PC gamer and paired this with RTX 3090 and a 570 mobo. My system works great

Great versatile CPU for gaming or heavy rendering or workstation applications. Can't go wrong with the price, can't go wrong with Best Buy! If there was any con to this purchase its the fact you need to have a cooler for it or buy one. Otherwise, good deal!

Thermals are good and everything is working great so far. The CPU arrived on time, and the build went like clockwork. I'm still trying to get a new GPU though. I'm using my old GPU from my previous desktop with Intel Ivy Bridge so the 5800 is a big improvement.

Upgraded from an i5-8600k and it has made a tremendous difference in multitasking and a decent difference in frames on newer CPU intensive games at 1440p. The 5600x wasn't quite enough of an upgrade to merit the cost and the 5900x (and beyond) was overkill so this hit the sweet spot for me. I would heartily recommend this processor!

Absolutely Amazing! Between the Ryzen 9 and Ryzen 7 5800x, definitely go with the 5800x! The performance difference isn't really noticeable either. With this I'm able to get ultra graphics on all my games along with Ray tracing!

Great product, ease to install, good performance from this product.

Still a good CPU even today in 2023. Would buy again for under $200

A little overkill for pure gaming for most, but very impressive performance for ~$225. Runs a bit on the hotter side but if you have a decent case with good air flow or an AIO, it’s nothing to worry about.

Great cpu for a mid level pc, works great with a 3060ti

Excellent processor. Great value and performance.

AMD’s i7 10700K. It’s slightly faster, however it costs more. The AM4 has more features available to it, however, like PCIE 4.0. Also with the ability to upgrade to a 5950X later, whereas the 10900K is the top performing chip on Intel’s platform.

Works great and does what it needs to. Perfect replacement for my old processor. And the Best Buy staff did great installing it.

Was easy to figure out how to install with some patience and is 100% way better than the AMD Ryzen 3 that came in my PC
