Customer Ratings & Reviews

I wanted to upgrade my aging but still capable Intel 10850K system with a future proofed processor and motherboard. So I decided to go with an AMD Ryzen 7 and an AM5 motherboard with DDR5 6000 memory that should help me get through the next 4 plus years of gaming. The processor is quick and draws less power than my prior 10850K. Im happy with the processor and Best Buy’s quick one day delivery!

This CPU will last me years. Just upgraded from my AMD FX 8350 that was over a decade old, and paired it with a 4070 super GPU. This can handle a 4090 no problem, it may be over kill for my setup but i love it due to the fact ill get many years of use out of it even if i upgrade other components.

Best bang-for-your-buck gaming CPU if you want something high performance without going for the latest generation.

Great gaming performance with great thermal efficiency.

Great processor Value. Installed easily. Got a third party heat sink.

Best cpu for gaming, very efficient only using around 50W of power when gaming in 4k highest settings.

Amazing product and excellent customer service. Can always count on Best Buy to get quality products and services!

Great just great cpu for gaming. It handles 1440p high settings not bottlenecking my gpu.

Blazing fast and the lower power draw is nice! A little pricey but overall worth it.

This CPU is a beast. Paired with a 7900xtx and 32 GB Ram.

Couldn't of asked for a better gaming CPU! The price was unbeatable!

I upgraded to this from a 3700X and am overwhelmingly happy with the results. A straightforward upgrade in every aspect of performance. This does not come with its own cooler but it is compatible with the Prism cooler that came with the 3700X, although it probably needs an aftermarket cooler. I haven't gotten this one hot enough to throttle but it regularly gets into the 80s under load, which is more than I'd like.

This processor works way better than my Ryzen 7 5700G. I got much better frame rates in games such as Fortnite, Doom the dark ages, and Forza Horizon 5.

Lovely CPU. Great value for the price, pairs fantastically with my RTX4090FE and beats anything put out by Intel.

Works great with my rtx 5070, much smoother than my previous processor which was a Ryzen 7 5700; a worthy investment for someone who doesn’t mind spending a bit of cash for something that will last.

Best gaming only CPU. Decent Price, and doesnt need a super expensive motherboard.

Works amazingly, fastest cpu I’ve ever seen, and it was cheap too

Had a friend suggest this cpu to me when the one I had died out. Year later this cpu is a not a disappointment

Excellent performance, although the one I was looking for was the 9k x3d, I don't regret it. Exceptional performance in games.

Honestly for the price you are paying for this cpu, it is simply an amazing cpu for gaming, gaming on 4K 65 inch tv on 120hz in triple A games and the cpu sits at a cool 56 c with a Corsair i150 AIO. Absolutely love this cpu and what it does for gaming for the price hands down.
