    Only issue i had is that it runs a little warm but i do only have a 240mm aio so either buy a bigger cooler or undervolt. Easy fix

    "I can't believe how fast my computer is running, it's just insane". Those are the words from my son, who built his new gaming computer using this CPU. After using an Intel i7 CPU for about a year, he decided to go with AMD, and so far he's very happy.

    It might be a little bit overkill for most consumers, but combined with a 3070 TI and 32 GB of RAM, I can run most games on ultra and still pull 200-300 FPS. Just be sure to grab a cooler for it, this guy can get hot.

    No regrets, love this thing. Only downside is now there's the am5 socket out there, so now it's a little dated when finding motherboard compatibility

    Great processor. Two things to help the experience. I highly recommend getting the big AIO. The processor runs hot. Also don't leave the store until you get your "free gift" .

    If you're planning to get a ryzen 9. Make sure you have great cooling. I would recommend a 240mm aio.

    Great thermals, especially compared to the 5800X! Single core boosts to 4.95GHz, with an all-core speed holding at around 4.6GHz. Unfortunately availability is still like finding unicorns.

    Insane number of CPU cores for all the processing power I could ask for, never have CPU throttling like I used to with a previous gen Ryzen 3000 series and modern GPUs
