Customer Ratings & Reviews

I ordered my cpu through bestbuy.com and my order was ready within 45 minutes. So far the 5900x has ran amazing in my updated rig. Would defintely recommend for any enthusiast as well as purchasing through best buy due to their competitive pricing.

Beast level processor, I did an upgrade from a 5800x because the price was so good,I paired with my Rtx 3070ti and honestly it way more power than I need for Tomb Raider, Elite Dangerous, and Control but who needs a corvette!, you get it because you want it. The CPU runs cooler than I thought it would with both the Mugen 5 and the Arctic Freezer 2 280(GET IT). Amd did a great job with this CPU, as well as the 5800x I had before it. You dont need this cpu, tbh my 5800x was more than I needed but if you want it go for it. No REGERTS(LOL)

Wonderful Wonderful Wonderful Wonderful Wonderful Wonderful

First build with my son. Nothing crazy…matched it with 7800xt. It’s not going to hit any benchmark homeruns but it handles anything you can throw at it. No issues with temps and a decent buy at $300 for a office/gaming setup

One of the best cpus able to power your whole pc and the best performance

Everything runs on this cpu. Tough and powered. I love it!

Great chip for multitasking and gaming pairs well with a 3070ti probably would recommend more so for someone editing or using for (streaming and gaming). It’s a lot of processor and with that, if you use a water cooler it’s like having a second sun in the room next to you. But over all it’s a good do all chip if you can snag for around 400 bucks and already have a b550 or x570 motherboard go for it but if you are already an intel person stick with the 12th gen chips because they are all more powerful for gaming if that’s your goal for the chip. 12700k is literally faster in almost every way on user benchmarks web site and can be found for around 380 usd most of the time so it’s a toss up as far as that goes and you will need a z690 motherboard for the 12th gen chips so do what’s right for you! Oh and most zed 690 motherboards only support ddr5 ram so be careful if buying that make sure your ram is compatible with the board you purchase.

Great CPU for the price range, in my opinion, it keeps up with the big dogs

I love this CPU, if you can get it do so. And now that I have the chip, I'd like to formally answer my own question...Yes this chip will handle MS paint @4k settings. =P

Bought this at Best Buy store and it was the last one. Upgraded from Ryzen 7 3700X to this CPU and let me tell you, This baby flys. Very fast and got a great deal.

Great processor, with 12/24 cores makes Virtualization easy

Coming from a 3700x just so I can future proof my PC this CPU is the real deal. I personally wanted a 5800x but for slighty more money boy do you get even more performance. With some tuning I am able to hit 4.95 mhz regularly and usually average around 4.8. Its an incredible CPU that definitely ended the AM4 era with a bang.

Great price. Haven’t used it yet because I’m building a pc but I am happy with the price

Great CPU for intensive tasks like code compilation, 4K video editing, etc. Needs a good cooler though. Getting 45 to 60 degrees celsius under low load, 85+ under full load.

Great processor. If you cool it properly, it won’t go over 70-75, at least in my case. If you’re buying just for gaming, consider one of the X3D processors instead.

The ryzen 9 5900x is an extremely fast processor that will be able to handle anything you throw at it. It is a must buy for anyone who can get their hands on it!

Got it on sale and am beyond happy with the product , was running the Ryzen 7 3700x it was a major upgrade and worth the money.

Love this cpu! Powerful extremely fast good cooling everything love it

The performance uplift from 3900xt from 5900x is easily noticeable at 1440p gaming and office workflows. Benchmarks are great metrics but often are not translate well from numbers to actual use. Please be aware there is increased heat production in the generation update from 3000 series and would be event greater from older generations. I would advise a nh-d15 or 140mm aio equivalent should be used even without PBO enabled in a good air flow case. Overall this chip is great value at its current price point and being last AM4 socket generation.

Got it on Black Friday sale to replace a 3700x. Boosted frame rates on my old 3070 by 10% on average. Frame times also more consistent and smooth.
