Best gaming CPU at the moment. If you're just interested in gaming then don't even try the 5800x nor the 5900/50x. this baby will give the best possible results and more if combined with either RTX 3XXX or Radeon 6XXX. Too bad the scalpers are not giving the consumers a chance to test this wonderful CPU. Kudos AMD

Im extremely happy with this cpu. Couldn’t get a 5900x for under $750 on ebay so this at $450 is the only option in my option. Did asus 5 way optimization and it set all cores to 4.675GH ran a cinebench r23 and it shut the whole system down due to hitting thermal limit. So not very happy about that.

Great performing processor. I would have preferred the 5900X as I feel it is a better value for the small price increase, but it has been too difficult to find.

Solid processor. If you need something more for gaming rather than productivity, (which you can still do productivity), get one as an upgrade. Do you want to get it if you have an older AM4 Zen processor.

Great CPU. A little overkill for strictly gaming, but wanted to future proof myself for the next couple of years with 8C/16TH. Handles anything I throw at it. Can multitask without a problem. Handles streaming and gaming perfectly.

Built new system after finally retiring my FX3850. What an insane difference 8 years of technology improvements make. Paired with 32GB DDR4, and a WD PCI 4.0 NVME drive and this system is FAAAAAST. 95th Percentile on a PassMark test!

The Ryzen 5000 series have always been good CPUs to me. This one had many questions about it when it first launched, but with its recent sales price drop it should be a no brainer for new and older pc builders.

a very good CPU over priced but nice. if your making a new build id say go intel it might be cheaper now but ryzen can have there benefits also. or spend an extra 100 bucks and get a 5900x. mine can go to 4.7 ghertz at 1.3 volts all day and probably would go higher but there would be no point

Fastest CPU I have every seen for normal office use and especially gaming. 300-400 fps on games like Valorant or CS:GO. I highly recommend checking the software on your motherboard before installing this CPU. I have a B450 motherboard that needed it the update to even run this CPU.

It seems everyone is talking about PBO2 which it is good at single thread and lightly threaded workloads But the way I see it you can undervolt it and run stable at 4.8GHz All core at just 2.25V I love it...its very very fast

Very nice CPU, working very well AMD customer service is very good also

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

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

Good CPU if you need the extra core/threads, and the gaming performance increase from the previous gen is nice. In terms of gaming it gets better frames than a 3900X but it is also the latest gen CPU. I would consider getting a 3900X since they are pretty close in terms of pricing especially if you do need the extra core/threads.

Runs like a beast but a little hot (As expected given its AMD) even with a Coolermaster hyper 212, coming from a Ryzen 5 3600x I've basically felt a 3 times increase in the performance.

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

My first Ryzen processor. This is the powerhouse on my recent RGB Gaming PC build. I usually shop Intel but I am very impressed with the performance of this processor.

Great performance, no issues. Can handle a lot. Great bang for your buck.

Middle of the road CPU. Wasn't initially worth it when they were at their normal price, but at $300, get it if you're doing more than just gaming and still on a tight budget! No problems and stays decently cool. Hotter than a 5600X for sure though.

Installed this CPU on my Asus Tuff Gaming X570 MB with no problems. Before this I was using a 3700x. User benchmark indicated all showing Nuclear Submarine for all categories. With this new CPU everything was UFO
