    Great processor. Fast for gaming. Lots of cores for computational tasks. Runs great so far. Remember there's no heat sink supplied. I always get a custom heat sink anyway. So, I'm happy they didn't waste money on a heat sink I would throw out anyway.

    This processor is the best bang for your buck. It’s the perfect processor for a game and work station. This thing gets hot due to it’s 12 cores, so get adequate cooling. Next time I will upgrade when next gen hardware is coming out because you can find many things things on sale. For example, this processor is currently $200 off. 3080Ti are $300 off. You get the point. Anyways, should be good for the next four years.

    Top of the line within the average person's budget. I'm glad I went with the 9 and didn't settle for the 7, which would have been good but not as good.

    Great CPU! Love to see team red on top. If you're just gaming, the 5600x is more than enough. If you do other thing like streaming, encoding, etc, this is great. The 5950 would do it better but it's a lot more expensive.

    Best bang for your buck on an AM4 platform. I already had a recent Mobo with 64GB 3600 Mhz Ram, so this extends the platform and can handle anything you throw at it...

    The best you can buy for its price... a 5950X would be the only thing better, but the cost vs performance on the 5900X is just the best. AMD really did live up to the hype with this CPU.

    I got this mainly for editing and I gotta say it’s awesome, then again I upgraded from a pretty old CPU, a 1700x so I can definitely see the difference, next up is to upgrade the GPU

    Absolutely no issues paired with an icu100 cooler. Seems very snappy and great for gaming too paired with a 6700xt. I'm getting 120fps on Warzone with high settings.
