Great value for an AM4 socket set!

I was looking to stay in the AM4 branch of socket sets due to the Ram shortage and prices being crazy high as of this review. I paired this with a new RTX 5070 for a bit of an upgrade of my current build. I will say it is a night and day difference! The CPU has more than enough power for my 1080p gaming specs and does very well when bumped to 2K also! I have been playing quite a bit of battlefield 6 and saw quite the improvement of more stable frames of both this and the graphics card listed above!
I will say the fan that comes with this CPU is a bit on the louder side but it keeps the temps very manageable and I have no worries of overheating. Just be aware if you’re somebody who isn’t huge on fan noise, consider a third party cooler.
Overall I’m very pleased with my purchase and am thrilled to see my PC running how it was during the COVID era of games!

Solid processor, i used this to build a friends pc and they are very content. This processor is great for gaming or home work.
I have the same processor in my build and I can watch tv while im gaming. This processor handles data very well. The wraith cooler that comes in thr boox keeps the processor ru ning njce ans cool. But if you want totally quite.best buy has some solid iptions for that space as well.

This was a great upgrade from a Ryzen 5 5500. Excellent value for an AM4 upgrade. I am able to get 300-400 fps in competitive titles with my RX 6600 graphics card. The CPU itself was perfect and installation was very easy. Temps aren't too high with a single fan air cooling tower, but I haven't tried it with the stock cooler, as I've heard that it can run a bit hot with just that. My cooler was under $30 though, so it's probably worth the investment. Overall a great purchase!

Fast. No issues installing. Great value, and it runs everything, ran to 4.9 ghz out of the box. Undervolted and overclocked it and it screams. Definitely get a water cooler. It wants to run hot. Great upgrade for an aging system.

I have it paired with a 7600XT and it runs everything I throw at it at 4k. Just to name a few: Black Myth Wukong, Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth, Hogwarts Legacy, Monster Hunter Wilds, all running 144fps on high/ultra settings and FSR capable when needed. The cooler it comes with is pretty good too! If you’re looking for a higher end CPU that can handle modern gaming, this is the best for its value right now!

I bought this cpu in order to upgrade from a Ryzen 5 5500 and it was worth every penny. After updating my bios and making sure my motherboard was compatible, it was pretty straight forward to install. Also came with the stock cooler with thermal paste on it. Highly recommend this cpu to anyone on the fence about it. Easy and painless order online and pickup in store.

So far the processor has been really good! I do think it tends to run on the hotter side because that cooling fan kicks on and kicks on hard, but then it cools right down. I’ve been running a variety of programs and I’ve had no issues.

Have been using AMD for a while now. This was actually kind of a future proof buy, but it is worth it. With the right GPU you just drop it in and away you go. Just as a precaution make sure your cooling is on point. Keeping everything running smoothly is essential.

Upgraded from the 2700x to this CPU and the performance is absolutely noticeable. Paired with a 3070TI I run most games at max setting on 1440p and average 90-144 fps.

Love it, needed a cheap but worthwhile upgrade before my am5 upgrade later this year. Runs fantastic has good temps and gaming looks great on it. If you have Am4 and don’t wanna upgrade yet this is a great choice for now.
