Best CPU out there Bang for your buck Beast Mode

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!

I find that AI Tasks like comment generation on code to be very fast compared to my previous build.

This is an upgrade form me from a 4th gen Intel i5, so yeah ... I noticed an improvement. The cpu itself is surprisingly weighty, but installation is a breeze. I was pleasantly surprised to learn that a lot of the coolers for the AM4 socket also work for the AM5 socket. Best Buy does not reflect this on the website when using the filtering options, but if you inspect the cooler information on the page you can see it. So yeah, great value on display.

Very very fast. Plays all my games very fast. Easy to install. Works perfectly.

Great cpu. First time I went with and, and it’s the best for gaming!

Solid gaming CPU. Upgraded from a 5800x and this was a jump in performance for gaming. Didn't see a huge increase in 3D Mark scores, but definitely can see an increase on FPS for all games played so far. With AM5 adding increased speeds for memory, M2, PCIE all help to improve FPS and load times. Been using almost daily for a month and only with no issues. Compared to the 5800x this CPU runs much cooler. Rarely hear the CPU fans running at full even under heavy loads.

Great performance and no issues with install. I have purchased 2 of these for two separate gaming PCs and I can run everything I want.

This CPU is fast and cool. I highly recommend for anyone who games. It is more than fast enough for my work and the the R code I run for school. I am coming from a Haswell-E so this has been a nice upgrade. The only disappointment is in the area of overclocking. There is none to be had. Despite being an X series CPU and having seemingly lots of headroom for an overclock options are limited by AMD. Don't waste your money on a big cooler. I am considering downsizing my 280 to a 240 so I can get more HDD mounting options in my case.

Great gaming CPU. Delivered quickly and works perfectly.

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

This CPU is FANTASTIC! Destroys any game I throw at it. Absolutely my best pc purchase to date.

Second best CPU you can buy for a gaming rig, fantastic performance and a no brainer if you cant get the 9800x3d. Recommend anyone to snag one.

Can’t say enough good things about this bad boy. Great at gaming and that’s exactly why I bought it!

Runs amazing, no issues for past year. Graphics ate.

Honestly upgraded to this and it’s a game changer !

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

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!

Absolutely amazing. Huge upgrade from my Ryzen 7 3700 X. Old GPU was definitely a bottleneck, this increase my FPS by about 500% under the same conditions.

This is a great CPU between this and my ram. My computer runs supper quick
