Customer Ratings & Reviews

Productivity and gaming performance are still really high even compared to the newer generation, so if you are still on an AM4 socket and want more cores I would go with this as long as it stays at its current price.

fantastic processor for gaming and video editing, couldn’t have asked for more especially when on sale

Great for gaming and multi-tasking! The single-core performance is great for games (with GTX 3090). The 12-cores makes it great if you're multi-tasking or have computational loads that can make use of the extra cores (e.g. Mathematica, MATLAB while web browsing or watching videos). I considered the 5800x, but at only $100 more, the 5900x is the better value for 4 more cores.

Good price for the cpu. Way better than the one I did have which was a dozen 7 5700G

Hard to really judge a CPU on its own, but combined with my new GPU I was able to run Cyberpunk 2077 at max settings

Definitely appreciate Best Buy doing something to help curtail the bots that go after these items as they come in stock. Grabbed one last month and paired with a 3080 FE, works like a charm. Nothing I've done has stressed this CPU yet and that includes heavy gaming and video editing. Totally worth the wait.

Absolutely amazing works great easy to install as well as my computer runs great for the price its a great deal

The 5900X is awesome - more than I will need for a long time . I used PBO to boost it to 5.0 Ghz and undervolted to 65 watt part - it uses a max 105 watts on boost and probably could clock higher - but I like it really stable - definitely got really good silicon on my purchase

Easy installation, solid performance, reasonable price. Went in my rig about two months ago, so far so good!

Works amazing, was easy to install. Upgraded my system and runs a lot better.

For what I have on my PC it works really well, usually I wasn't able to play many games simply because my previous CPU couldn't take it, now I can play those games easy

This CPU flies. Great power and best bang for your buck.

This CPU item was a great hardware product to have. Would highly recommend.

Jumped from a 5 3600 to this beast and I'm in love! My PC can handle editing very well and thats because of this bad boy right here! Definitely set for a while until I am ready to upgrade to the newest components.

wonderful cpu, thermals arent ever a worry with the 360 aio i paired it with everything is snappy and there barely any lag (none cpu caused) great performer i would buy this cpu again

Was originally going with 5600x but got a decent deal here so decided to jump on it so my ML side-projects can run more efficiently. I am still tinkering with OC with curve optimizer + PBO2 but the golden core is hitting 5.0ghz so as long as it stays stable after some stress-testing I won't try squeezing out the last ounces.

Good product. Works excellent. Best Buy, has the best price. I made a mistake ordering from Amazon, they delivered an empty box. Amazon is refusing to refund. My advice to others think twice before ordering from Amazon.

I was lucky enough to purchase this CPU during a BB drop on 1/22. It was delivered on 1/26 via UPS. Installed into an Asus ROG Crosshair VIII Dark Hero. Cooling with a Noctua NH-D15. Crucial 64GB DDR4-3600 CL16 (BL2K32G36C16U4B). EVGA RTX 3080 FTW3 Ultra. Idle temps reported in HWMonitor is @ 30C and full load is @ 67C. Cinebench R23 Multi Core score 22400.

The AMD Ryzen 9 5900X, part of the 4th generation Ryzen series, is a 12-core, 24-thread unlocked desktop processor designed for high-performance gaming and content creation. Without a bundled cooler, it offers flexibility for users to choose their preferred cooling solution.

Works perfectly can run games very well, haven’t had any problems
