    I was rocking a ryzen 7 3700x for a few years. I didnt see the initial upgrade as something worth doing, boy was i wrong. Great CPU for gaming, video editting, and large workloads. Picked it up when it went on sale and i have no regrets. Highly recommended.

    12 cores does all I need for productivity, office work, and games. It runs cool until the boost kicks in and mine runs at 4.95 for most of the cores when it does; the only down side is my motherboard sets the cpu voltage crazy high which produces a lot of heat. It's a great cpu just be sure you've got great cooling for it too.

    Works great, can't complain. Get some decent thermal paste, it does run hotter than intel CPUs I used, Plus overclocking can be tricky if you're used to intel like me. Undervolting will help with keeping the temperatures down without a performance hit, at least mine did. Definitely doesn't boost to 4.8 GHz so don't have high hopes for that.

    Still an absolute beast. If you're building an AM4 system and can find this CPU on sale, you should definitely pick one up - it's an insane value.

    AMD outdoes itself with this top-of-the-line Processor. Are you a high-end gamer? This one is great! Fast with no hiccups or glitches.

    Granted this thing was a SUPER pain in the rear end to get my hands on, but now that I do and have it paired with a 6900XT, it runs beautifully. Its sitting under an AIO and I have 0 problems with temperature or any type of performance drop. If you can get your hands on it and have the money for it, do yourself a favor and pick one up.

    In 2020 I built a brand new system, my first time using AMD processors. The step up from my de-lid liquid metal 7700K was huge. Performance for games and the recording studio. The processor is cool and quiet. Unless AMD turns into Intel and does nothing for 6yrs my next build in 3yrs will also be AMD.

    I mix between gaming and productivity and I lived from a 5600x to this 5900x. Productivity is amazing. Perhaps I should have done a 5800x3D but this works.
