Customer Ratings & Reviews

Purchased this to upgrade and it works perfectly!!

An absolute powerhouse of a CPU, runs games alongside my 5080 like a champ.

If you're looking for a gaming CPU you probably know about the 7800x3d / motherboard issues - get your motherboard's firmware update before you do any overclocking, and you'll be fine. As a CPU, though, boy howdy does this thing deliver as promised! Great price for incredible gaming performance. As usual, Intel is better if you need higher-end productivity stuff (drawing at 10k pixels, video rendering, etc) but it's hard to beat this price/performance as a gamer!

This is absolutely considering top performance hardware from AMD

top of the line performance while sipping power. great choice for mini itx builds where cooling capacity is usually limited.

Beast of a cpu for the money. 2nd only to the 9800x3d if you don't want to spend the extra money. I have both and can't tell a difference.

Best upgrade ever! Plays everything i throw at it and paired with a 7900xt cant go wrong

awesome cpu. went from i5 13600k to the 7800x3d. even though it's similar in speed, it made my games way smoother thanks to the huge L3 cache.

Amazing performance out of the box. Upgraded from the 3700x. Performance boost was significant! Was way over due for an upgrade as I was cpu bottlenecked for cpu intensive titles I play. Stays very cool with a basic 240 aio nothing wild. I definitely recommend this if you’re in the market for an upgrade and have the funds of course!

7800x3d is a beast, my 1% lows were amazing. The CPU does run a bit hot, so you will have to optimize your fans to make up for it. this often goes on sale and best buy was awesome to price match for me. Highly recommend.

Can't praise this cpu enough. Great value for the price. The performance is top tier!

Transitioning from an intel system to AMD does require a fresh windows installation, but once passed that this CPU has performed excellently

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

absolute banger of a CPU handles anything and everything that you do just make sure that you actually get it built at a good place

It was finally time to upgrade and this was just the ticket. Massive upgrade and runs well in the updated build. Price was good and haven't had a problem running any games or programs.

Great gaming performance with great thermal efficiency.

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

Coming from a Ryzen 5 7600X I saw lower and more stable temperatures. Both were/are being cooled with a 360mm AIO. This cpu rarely hits +70c. This cpu is being used for gaming applications. Performance wise what I saw was a much more smoother gaming experience. Less drops in framerates and faster loading times. This is paired with a RTX 4080 Super, they work great together. This is an excellent cpu, and for its price point it is unmatched. Worth every penny.

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.

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.
