Incredibly powerfull. Tons of cores and threads. A good value when you consider what it can do

You have to get this beast! She will shread your pants and leave your wet and ready for more! Listen to her purr when she powers up and gets things hot. You have to talk to her and let her know it's okay to power up and unleash yourself!

updated from core i5 pc to a ryzen 9. The performance jump was astronomical. The pc a a lot faster. Had this delivered to my house and it was very fast.

This is a crazy good deal for a 12 core processor. It doesn't support DDR5, but DDR4 is plenty fast and affordable right now. I have enough cores to do run my servers and play new games at the same time without any slowdown.

Does what its supposed to no issues so far not a bad price

AMAZING CPU for gaming and productivity. The boost clocks are great if cooled properly. AIO is the only option for real performance. You can use the massive Noctura cooler but might as well get a good AIO for near the same price. As with most AMD products it it pretty picky with RAM and 3 motherboards I have tried I have has USB drop outs which appears to be widespread with AMD CPU's.

Absolutely amazing paired w X570 motherboard and 6900XT. Coming from a 3900X and there's a huge difference. Benchmarks and production tasks are up 10-30% depending on the activity. There's a ton of performance at default settings and a ton of tuning and tweaking possible through BIOS. Temperatures can get scary if you don't have an appropriate cooler.

When I bought this it was top of the line. My partner is using it in her computer now and it still works great.

I went with this CPU to do my first upgrade (new to PC) to a prebuilt CyberPowerPC I got from BestBuy. It was an awesome upgrade for City Building games!!!! Super easy overclocking with AMD drivers.

I upgraded from an older ryzen 2700x and it was a night and day difference. When paired with an RTX 2070 Super, I was getting around 60-70FPS in most games. Now im getting anywhere between 100-115fps with the new CPU! Everything is snappier now. For the price, its a solid upgrade if you dont want to go full in on 7000 seriess

Couldn’t pass up on a great discounted CPU for paying way below MSRP! I upgraded from R5 3600 6-CORE CPU to AMD’s top 5000 series CPU’s! I was struggling playing Call Of Duty Modern Warefare on my previous build with the R5 then upgraded, now I’m having a blast with beast of a component!

Amazed I was able to purchase one. The lack of stock on this is a shame. Performance wise, it is worth every bit of the MSRP price. Not as great of a value compared to previous Ryzens due to a lack of an included fan, but if you are going for this top level of performance you should be buying higher end fans or liquid cooling anyway.

I absolutely love this AMD Ryzen 9 CPU. Sure it may be overkill most of my tasks. But it surely does run all of my games with no problems at all. This is going in my new PC build that will hopefully last me for a long time. I would absolutely recommend this CPU to anyone looking to build themselves a new PC.

This thing is really, really fast. AMD learned from their Ryzen 3000 launch mistakes and sandbagged their single core boost clocks to 4.8. With the right cooling this CPU will boost to 4.9-5 ghz on multiple cores all day. With the recent bios and AGESA updatse my sample can get up to 4.75 ghz across all cores, in lighter workloads.

This CPU gets the job done. I paired it with a 3080 FE which is probably a bit overkill but I think the performance is worth it. It does anything I throw at it with flying colors and then some. This is a great processor if you plan on doing heavy gaming, streaming, or work. I will mention, make sure your cooler is up to the task as this CPU can get pretty hot even on an 360mm AIO.

Always been an Intel user but after two failed installation attempts with new motherboard and processors, Geek Squad changed to this AMD processor. So far, outstanding performance and I couldn't be happier.

More power baby. It’s the best CPU of 2020 until AMD ditches the AM4 socket. Regardless, you’re reading a review for a processor that doesn’t need to be over locked. It’s great straight out of the box.

Excellent gaming performance with an RTX 3080. Boosts over 5GHz single core with PBO enabled, stays around 4.5-4.6 in all core workloads. I didn't expect to see a difference between a 3900XT, but loading times are slightly faster, and there are less stutters. Microsoft Flight Simulator specifically runs much smoother. Only downsides are increased power draw and higher temps.

Replaced 3900x easy swap no reinstall of windows needed. Just make sure bios of board is updated. Running a 3080 12gb noticed about 10-20% fps boost in mw3 on ultimate settings on 1440p g8oled Samsung running total of 4 monitors.

The 5900X is a good "do it all" CPU. Work or play (albeit overkill for gaming) gets CPU workloads done quick. With liquid cooling, I've seen mine boost up to 5.025 GHz and maintain a 4.675 GHz all core. This CPU doesn't go on sale often but it's worth the wait for sales and you currently have a CPU that's 3 generations back or money is no issue.
