    Hard to get CPU due to limited stock. Had to actually RMA the CPU due to errors that are known from AMD. WHEA Uncorrectable Errors and BSODs aplenty. Be cautious of this 5000 series. I would have loved to use this processor to it's fullest but now have to wait. Sad.

    Would not recommend if you plan on actually utilizing this CPU too much. Once you put too much load on the CPU, it has an issue where it disconnects all of your USB 2.0 devices. There are a lot of similar cases I've found online with these chips regardless of the board they are paired with and AMD does not have an actual fix yet. They have released drivers and bios updates but none of them resolve the issue. Save yourself the headache and buy Intel instead.

    CPU doesn't work. BestBuy wont let me return it. I spent two weeks desperately trying to get the new system to POST only to finally give up and admit they shipped me a broken CPU. Website says item is ineligible for returns. I'll try to RMA it through AMD's website. If that doesn't work, I'll file a dispute with my credit card company I guess.

    Had to return it. Kept rebooting. Tried everything. Anybody on amd forum that was having the same problem also returned them. I did exhaust a lot of effort to find the problem but ultimately returned it and grabbed a 5600x and my troubles were gone, Defective CPU

    Best cpu without going overkill

    I gone through many cpu's from ryzen from the 3600x,5600x, to this cpu. This cpu just blew me away with its performance from gaming to even workstation loads. I would say it is the best All Rounder cpu without going too overkill and going for a 5950x which is another 100 dollars more expensive.

    This processor was the upgrade I was looking for. It pairs with my 40 series GPU quite well, and handles all programs and games flawlessly. Temperatures are great, stability is great, and performance has increased. Ryzen is the way to go for gaming CPUs!

    Excellent CPU, several times faster than the one I had before. Surprisingly, doesn't have much more power draw than other Ryzen CPUs, so I could just swap it out without changing anything else about my build.

    An excellent CPU that does all the stuff. Fast enough to operate my editing apps but runs cool enough to be quiet.
