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!

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!

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

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.

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.

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

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.

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

Killer processor for gaming. Replaced a Ryzen 9 3950x and it's tons faster with half the cores of the 3950x. Popped it into the socket and reinstalled the fan in about 10 mins - ridiculous performance boost. Amazing.

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.

it may not be a 5900x but it easily out performs my previous processor. gets anything you need done and more even with high productivity like programming and graphic design. Although when i received the product, the box looked like it got drop kicked. everything was intact though

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.

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

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.

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

A beast of a cpu. It is however the worst price per core of the original Zen 3 processors. Easily boosts to max boost clock. Waiting on a graphics card to test out gaming and production applications, but it seems promising.

Literally hot CPU but performance is great. A little over 85+ C with an AIO, Unger volted now getting around 75 C ish. Sadly best buy did not want to price match me though. Even though it qualified they wanted me to go in store.
