    I jumped from 3700x anddddd was contemplating about this or the "better value" 5800x. I am super glad that I went with the 5900x! If you can get it, grab it right away! You won't regret it.

    Ordered it for pickup, my local store made it super easy. The processor is an absolute monster and doesn’t take much to cool it actually. I just have it on a dual tower air cooler and it runs about 75C with PBO active.

    Excellent CPU for gaming or anything else. I’m using the AMD Wraith Prism to cool the CPU, and I’m getting clocks up to 4.9ghz, while staying between 65-75f for temps. Keep in mind my ambient temps are 68f.

    Probably one of the best AM4 processors you can get. I have a 4080 super and there is still a bit of bottlenecking but it handles it pretty well. Definitely would recommend if you cant upgrade to the am5 platform.

    If you can get one of these CPUs do so! They beat every CPU Intel is making right now! If you game this is the best, you don't need the 5950X, this performs jus as good in benchmarks.

    I have no real complaints except heat, but the msi 360rAIO makes light work of it. Excellent at everything I throw at it.
