    I see a night a day difference between this this cpu and last year model 3900x which only lasted me a year before it burned out, currently waiting for amd to fix or send me another 3900x. Hopefully 5900x will last me more then a year considering the price

    Bought this to upgrade from 5600x while on sale. With pc games becoming more cpu bound, this was an easy upgrade as I netted over 30fps gains @ 1440p over several games including COD Warzone & F1 2021. With a good aio cooler, my temps never go above 60*C

    Best CPU Right Now

    This was a massive upgrade from my 7700k. It runs cooler than the 5800x I tried before it. Overall this is the best cpu to buy right now if you need a workstation processor. It's great for gaming but definitely overkill for just games. My whole system is more responsive too.

    Arrived on time, no damage and actually in the box unlike Amazon who sent me a empty box. If your buying small computer components online, do it with Best buy.

    Still can't secure a GPU so this CPU is sitting in its box... inside my empty PC case. Horrible time to build a PC – but the current generation of PC parts is epic and well-priced. Can't wait to use this bad boi.

    Got this to upgrade my PC to PCIe 4.0 & 12 cores. It transformed the whole rig much more than I expected & games actually run at about a 10% higher frame rate just from the CPU upgrade alone.

    I would recommend buying this on BestBuy. They have taken good measures to fight against bot buyers. Literally unmatched performance and value in both gaming and workstation, assuming you don't fall for scalpers.

    This is really the top of the game when talking about gaming processors. Not only does this outperform the 5800x by a long shot, but paired with Corsair elite h150i water cooler, it runs 10-15 degrees cooler than the 5800x

    Upgraded from a Ryzen 3 3600G, and this CPU has cleared up all the backlog running games (Radeon 6600 GPU). I used to run 15 fps on low settings, now I get 60 fps on ultra. Definitely a good pair with my GPU.
