    What a beast of a CPU! I play a lot of modern titles and this thing combined with my 4070 to super runs them all with no issues. Recommend this highly especially if its on sale!

    An amazing processor for gaming and productivity work just keep in mind this is the end of the line for the AM4 socket and ddr5 is coming soon. I had an 6700k was lacking profomance & everything . AM5 will be much better and at a much higher price point! If your gaming at 4k its going be your GPU that will limit your fps anyways for the next 4 years with an 5900x

    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!

    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

    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.

    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.

    Fastest CPU in this price bracket (when on sale). Love this chip for it’s speed and efficiency. Blender cycle renders and physics renders are quite zippy with this cpu. Highly recommend on when on sale.

    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.
