Customer Ratings & Reviews

Solid chip, for sure a quality buy if looking to upgrade within 4 yrs of its life span though holds up gaming and running two monitors

Paired this with a 3080 and they run amazing together!

Really good cpu, perfect for what I needed it to do

Great performance overall and works well with my AMD GPU

I bought this product from Amazon before I buy it from BestBuy. It came with defects (bent pins). I, then, decided to buy a replacement from BestBuy instead, and I had no issues. They were about the same price and even faster delivery with BestBuy.

Never go wrong with Ryzen. This a nice cpu for upgrade

So far so good. It’s a fast chip. Before buying I read that it runs warm, so pair it with a good cooler. I skipped the hyper 212 evo because there aren’t enough heat pipes to cool things down. I went with a scythe mugen 5 rev B and it’s working well so far. CPU under load while gaming sits right at 60-61c.

Don’t know enough about computers to know why there’s such a big discount on the CPU

Plan on using this on my first pc build. Trying to pair it with any graphics card I can get my hands on at the moment. Lol. From all reviews, should be a great cpu that’ll do the job for just about everything

The performance of the chip is above expectation. However, it was running extremely hot while gaming (above 90 Celsius) even though it only loaded 30%.

i would suggest going with the 5900x better perfomance and similar prices. this on is okay.

Amazing CPU for the price and performance and available HOVERVER the biggest issue "STOCK" is the temperatures out of box I was idling around 50-60 and when running cinebench it peaked at 90. Research about undervolting and overclocking the CPU I put 1.2 volts when it was at 1.4 volts and my stock temps are 30-40 and max 75 Deg C. Afterwards I have no complaints since I got this CPU without having to watch botting youtube alerts to pair amazing with my 3070.

Pretty good. I mostly just needed a new one so anything at that point would’ve been good. It it runs smoothly and makes the PC run better

Got it for the same price as the 5600x so it was hella worth it, but the intel one is better unless you really like amd (like i do)

Works great! Wasn't in the market for an R7, but it's all the store had on the shelf at the time. My only complaint (and the reason for 4 stars) is that even with a Noctua NH-U9S with 2 fans installed, it still will hit 90c with ease. The box claims 3.8 GHz, it would regularly exceed 1GHz over. Very ambitious stock turbo clock, had to set it to 65watt eco mode to keep things below 70c. That said, even throttled it's still punching above the 3.8GHz the box claims and is a massive improvement over the R3 1200 it replaced.

Its the perfect silicon hence the terrible price per performance. You don't need more than 8 cores, but try telling your average enthusiast this and they'll tell you that even 12 isn't enough.

My computer had been giving me problems and i needed to upgrade my processor. This processor works well and i havent had any problems since.

Runs hot, needs a good AIO cooler. Destroys Intel CPUs. A bit expensive, but 8 cores don't come cheap.

I went with this because the 5900x was sold out at the time. It works perfectly for everything I need

Upgraded from a 3700x. The single core performance is noticeable. Paired with a 3080FE. Did I NEED to do this? No. I just had the urge. Amazing performance for price. Low power usage. Can be cooled by most air coolers. No need for the fancy liquid cooling.
