Love this thing, 10/10 would buy again. Stays cool

It was the best gaming CPU out when I ordered it and it only took two days to arrive. Too bad in that short amount of time AMD launched the 9850x3d

its one of the better cpus you can get right now, fantastic speeds for gaming.

This CPU is very fast for gaming and productivity. At idle usage it runs at 38-44 degrees C But at stress level goes up to high 80s low 90s. The price was high at $479.99 too but everything is high now. Overall, a great CPU I am very satisfied with this purchase.

this cpu was worth the upgrade , my pc has never ran better.

Totally newbie here,, from what i can tell my processor has been great to my system. I pair it with a 5070 OC from Gigabyte. One might be over kill for the other (im not too too sure), regardless i think it’s great!

upgraded from ryzen 5 to ryzen 7, no more bottle necking

By far the best CPU I've used gaming is so much better

The most powerful CPU I have ever owned. Would highly recommend any competitive gamer to invest in this work of art.

This CPU exceeded my expectations, coming from a Ryzen 5 5600x its a night and day difference especially in gaming on CPU heavy games this monster handles it amazingly!!

Have had this only for about couple months and I've come to a conclusionbrhat this is this best cpu ived ever had. It's superb for what I do on a daily basis. Base clocks are stable and even overclocked it. I have had 0 problems with anything I've thrown at it.

I upgraded to this CPU, and the difference is night and day! My old processor i7 10700k was bottlenecking my GPU harshly, but now I’m finally capping out my 3080ti, actually utilizing the gpus full power. Getting higher FPS across all games. I gained frames just by swapping to this CPU—no extra tweaking needed, no undervolting, overclocking. Game at 4k 144hz, and this CPU will definitely let you utilize the GPU you paid for without restriction.

Works perfect, everything I needed! Install was super easy and straight forward

Best processor I have ever had. Recently switched from Intel to AMD, and I have not regretted it. This processor handles anything I throw at it and then some!

Amazing upgrade from having a 3700x, performance Along with a 5070 is great! Hope to get a lot out of the cpu and enjoy my games.

I’m very happy with this purchase and my overall experience with Best Buy. The product arrived exactly as described, in perfect condition, and works flawlessly. Setup was easy and everything performs as expected. What I especially appreciate is the quality and reliability — it feels well made and definitely worth the price. The buying process was smooth, delivery was on time, and communication was clear throughout. I would absolutely recommend this product and Best Buy to anyone considering a similar purchase. Great experience from start to finish.

I bought this once my 14th gen i9 started to fail. So far it has been amazing for gaming, getting more fps than my i9 did. I mostly game so losing the core count hasnt bothered me at all for all my other applications and much lower power consumption 100w vs 270w, both running at 100% utilization.

Amazing performance for gaming, stays cool too!!!!

I switched to a 9800x3D from a 13700K with microcode failure...and WOW. Game to game, the difference is negligible...but connected to a 280 AIO, the Intel chip would hit 85-88 degrees under load. The 9800x3D rarely goes above 75. I have it paired with a RTX 4800 Super and I couldn't be happier.

It works to its capability. Did nit have any issues with it overheating or anything as of yet.
