Customer Ratings & Reviews

This CPU item was a great hardware product to have. Would highly recommend.

Powerful CPU! For the price this is an amazing machine. Definitely recommend!

Powerhouse CPU that gets the job done for a reasonable price

If you're able to get your hands on one at the moment, its a fantastic cpu for the performance at nearly any workload compared to intel offerings at similar pricing. Beating intel at most games, and taking on highly multithreaded applications too. My very first cpu from AMD, hopefully they can keep cranking out winners like this. And in greater volumes so that everyone that wants one can get one.

Great cpu - 0 stutters Upgraded from an intel i5 7600k that had mild stuttering on the random occasion. Have had no such issues thus far. idle around 35-40C with a 360 aio. Browsing/streaming videos and cpu hovers below 3% usage compared to the 20%+ of my i5. Amazing all around. Only real issue is installation. Having to flash bios on motherboards require an older chip or has you tinkering around with your motherboard until it works. Definitely frustrating to troubleshoot but it'd a one and done thing so I guess I don't mind too much.

The best value CPU from AMD (after the 5600x), you are getting a monster at this price. It surprisingly runs cooler than my 5800x and even though it is overkill for my needs I think this is one of those leaps in cpu performance that will last you years and years.

Very nice CPU! The 12 cores really hit the spot especially for heavy workloads. Gaming you won’t see much difference between this and the 5600x but there will be a slight boost if connected with the 3080 or 6800xt. Overall excellent CPU. Goodbye Intel!

12 cores 24 threads of awesome. Best cpu for the price.

Very fast and way better frames during flight simulator 2020 on ultra (paired with a 3080ti). Only issue is that the computer turns off randomly but I suspect that it may be unrelated.

works well. can keep up with any game i play. pairs well with ryzen gpu as well.

AMD Ryzen 5000 series is one for the record books! AMD introduced the Zen 3 Ryzen processors online with the sole intention to show more performance at less wattage. The increase from the previous Ryzen 3000 series is up to 22% faster. Meaning if you are coming from a Ryzen 2000 series (Zen+) then you are in for a major performance champion at over 40% performance increase. That increase is not free. It comes in the form of heat. It does not come with a cooler, so be sure to get you a BEEFY air cooler, or a nice all-in-one (AIO) liquid cooler solution and you will be off to the races!

Absolutely amazing works great easy to install as well as my computer runs great for the price its a great deal

Does what its supposed to no issues so far not a bad price

Really good CPU, Just recreantly purchased this during cyber Monday. Upgraded from a 3700x. And i can tell the difference immediately. This CPU does gaming, Auto Cad, And 3-D rendering really well. It also handles my 7800xt extremally well as well. All in all get this CPU while it is 50% off!!!!!

Great CPU! My system runs smoothly with inside with the 3070 and has no problem running modern games or any heavy tasks!

Everything you could ever ask out of a cpu, it does the job plus some.

Great for medium spec'd builds and great paired with the RTX 4070. Used this CPU on my AM4 build. I would not buy this card if you intend on upgrading to anything past a 4070 but if you're looking for a budget AM4 build, this is definitely the CPU for you!

well i have an old motherboard and this is the second to the highest chip. I am allowed to put in it. I was worried that I would need to max out my ram, or do something else to make sure that it ran properly, but from the moment I put it in it has run perfectly fine. I am giving it good value because I got this on sale. I still think most of these are overpriced and stay too high priced for too long. But this one was definitely decent on sale. 

If you have an older AM4 CPU and don’t wanna upgrade your motherboard and RAM, 5900x is a solid option. Gaming frame rates are more consistent/stable with a noticeable boost since I’ve been previously CPU bottlenecked with a 3900x. It’s a steal if you can catch it at a discount! Remember to check if you need to update your bios before installing it!

Absolutely cranks! This thing runs everything on max settings with ease. Im an Intel person and honestly AMD has the most bang for your buck at the moment. Do it to it, you wony be disappointed.
