Customer Ratings & Reviews

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

Good, no issues, but buy the X3D version because it’s just better in every way. I pulled a funny and bought this right before the 3D came out so that was unfortunate. Way to go me fore watching the market.

Fantastic processor. I switched from a Ryz7 3700x to this and boy ill tell you the change in performance and frames to my games was superb. Paired with a 3070 gpu it works like butta. Very happy and love AMD!

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!

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.

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.

Great processor, does everything I need, from work, to browsing to even gaming, have it paired with a 6950xt and it does bottleneck as much.

A really great cpu i bought on sale, the only downside is that it fluctuate temperatures really fast in comparison to other models. It runs hot real fast so if you do get it make sure to have a cooler that can handle the heat. Overall great cpu.

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!

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!

Excellent processor. Great value and performance.

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.

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.

Absolutely amazing cpu ran every game smooth and pushed over 200 frames on every game

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

Price performance this CPU is great; however, at just a small price increase you can get the Intel next tier up with significant performance increase. I took one star off the overall rating because of the relative cumbersome mounting process AMD processors have. You need to perfectly align the pins with the CPU mounting slot, and if you are not successful you run in the issue of bending the pins. The new Ryzen gen is a huge improve over the latter, especially in the gaming field; however, AMD needs to push CPUs more performant comparing with Intel at a significant price difference.

Went from a 3800x to this. Windows 11 should really start taking better advantage of it but it is already better in everything it does. Make sure you get a good thermal paste because that will be the difference between better performance is something less than the 2700x.
