    It's been great, I don't know what your reason might be, but if its for games; this CPU has been amazing for me, I don't notice any of the productivity issues many other people have been mentioning either. so for me this gets a 10/10. Easily see 400+ fps on games that rely on CPU more than GPU.

    Currently, the best CPU for gaming. In certain CPU intensive games, it will run VERY warm to hot, so make sure you get a good cooler for it! You can run it with an undervolt so it can run cooler - check YT for the deets on that. ;-)

    Coming from i7 11th gen intel, the difference is huge, you can play the most demanding games in high at 1080p even without a good graphics card, with the 3070 in RDR2 it went up to 100+fps from 50fps. I tried it with MSI Mag x870E. I think is the meta combo right now

    The Ryzen 7 is a fantastic processor for both gaming and productivity. It delivers fast and smooth performance, and multitasking is no problem at all. Paired with a good GPU, it easily handles modern games at high settings while keeping temperatures under control. Installation was simple, and the performance boost compared to my old CPU is huge. Excellent value for the price!

    Running perfectly fine. I have it set up on Auto OC and even then it is not overheating with my Hyper 212 Evo. Performance is as expected in games. No crashes have been experienced either.

    Upgraded from a 5900x and it was worth it! Playing 2160p and having one of the most powerful CPU’s on market helps. TLOU on Ultra, GTA 5 Enhanced on Max Ultra with no issues, no stutters.

    The goat of all gaming CPUs as of right now. You will never CPU bottleneck with this dude unless you play CS2 at 1080p with a 5090 (why would you do that anyways)

    This fast efficient CPU is the centerpiece of my updated build. Was lucky that Best Buy got this in stock just as I was about to pull the trigger on a 7800x3d for a similar price. Now I’ll be able to game knowing I’ll never be CPU bottlenecked!

    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.

    Runs SO much cooler than my previous Intel!

    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.

    Excellent Gaming CPU

    Arguably the best gaming CPU. Saw a performance increase that was a little unexpected considering that I game at 4K. Also compared to the Intel CPU I was previously using, it runs much cooler and therefore my CPU cooler fans run quieter. A pricier choice. So for many it might not always be the correct choice. If you primarily game with your PC this is as good as it gets.

    My previous CPU before this was an i7-8700k, and to say this is a massive upgrade is a massive understatement. This CPU has been performing so amazingly and I couldn’t possibly ask for anything better!
