I went from a Ryzen 7 3900 to a 9 5900x. Man!! It's a beast when it comes to streaming on Twitch and etc. I had problems with 7 3900 processor not holding up with the camera views I use for Twitch. So I had to only use one view the whole time. Now with the Ryzen 9 5900x with the Elgato Cam Link Pro with 4 HDMI inputs is no question!! Smooth sailing throughout my 3 plus hours streaming with 1080p output rate. I can't say nothing bad about it.

I recently upgraded from my R5 5600x and I can confirm that this is effective for multiple core purposes. This effectively reduces so much processing time for transferring multiple files across multiple different drives. This will work for games too but if you want to stream and download at the same time this is really the “it”.

Have to admit, I bought this THEN found out there’s a new AMD cpu series coming and was kinda disappointed. Until, I found out that you’ll need basically a whole new computer for it to work, then felt much less disappointed. Not to mention does one actually need even need more then 12 cores and 24 threads anyways?? Especially for only gaming? Anyways, I LOVE this cpu. It does live up to the hype and beyond. Awesome oc abilities if you desire. Heck, even leaving it at default at 3.7ghz it’s still does what you want like a beast!!

It’s a beast of a processor, I honestly didn’t see the point of spending 200 extra dollars to get a slight increase in performance with the 5950x , great purchase

Probably the second best value for the money next to the 5600, and best value for a high end gaming processor, at least prior to Intel 12th series

A super strong processor with great speed and multitasking power, and it still holds up really well today. I liked how fast it feels in gaming and productivity, but I didn’t like that it doesn’t come with a cooler and it’s not on the newest platform anymore.

Fast, strong, perfect. This cpu is probably overkill for what i do, but man does it work, i even have a slight core boost with the Ryzen Master utility. Works very well with an Amd gou too so you can take advantage of the amd software tools like managing both overclocks from one program.

I upgraded to the 5900X from the 3700X. I instantly noticed how much snappier my PC felt. It was a significant upgrade that I made because I wanted my PC to be faster when editing videos and doing other work related tasks. It was $350 which is the same price I paid for my 3700X. I don't think I would recommend the 5900X for most people but if you need something high-end then it works well enough for me.

This is an amazing processor. I installed it on an ASUS B550 STRIX Motherboard combined with a corair 240 AIO. I'm letting it do its thing with PBO enabled and I'm happy to say, it's achieving and actually boosting higher than the stated 4.8 ghz. It's reached 5.0-5.1 ghz on three cores and 4.9-5.0 on 4 cores with the rest reaching 4.8-4.9. I am extemely happy with this CPU! Preformance has increased in gaming and priductivity and everything else i use my computer for. This comong from a 3700x.

This was a heck of an uograde from my 2700x. I can rell a vast improvement. I rushed to put this things in without researching my BIOS version compatibility with this chip. I could not boot into the BIOS at all after installing. Switched back to my old chip, updated the BIOS, and put the 5900x back in. Smooth sailing since.

Fantastic processor for gaming! Never had an issue had it paired with a 7800xt

Excellent CPU, used to upgrade an existing AM4 platform. CPU runs a little warm but a good solid air cooler or AIO will handle it easily. Runs anything I throw at it at max settings without breaking a sweat. If you have an existing AM4 and don’t want to do the big jump to AM5 I suggest this CPU.

I bought this to replace the same one that croaked, and it worked just as good. Maybe not the absolute best processor money can buy, but it held up for quite a few years.

updated from core i5 pc to a ryzen 9. The performance jump was astronomical. The pc a a lot faster. Had this delivered to my house and it was very fast.

I had a 3900x previously that was somewhat of a golden sample. It scired in oar with the refreshed 3900xt in most games and benchmarks. I basically wanted to wait for a 3d cache version of the 5900x and when AMD said they were only doing the 5800 series i pulled the trigger on a 5900x the next time i saw it on sale. I dont want to replace my mobo and ram etc because of a new socket and my 3900x was already 3 years old so if i didnt grab the last AM4 chip i would need to replace most of my pc in a year or two. Now im good for a few more years, this thing is a nice upgrade over my old 3900x. They changed the core config to 2 6core chips instead of 4 3core chips and the latency is much better now with shared memory pooling. Overall it was only a slight update to the architecture but i can see a big difference in performance in certain games and a general boost in performance in pretty much everything else. It shouldnt cost this much but that is the times we are in right now. Other than cost i think this is better than any intel equivalent part in the same time frame and it is cheaper to build a whole system with the 5900x generally speaking.

What a beast of a CPU, This thing is extremely powerful and can handle anything I throw at it with ease. It is certainly not the best bang for buck CPU, but the performance you get out of it is incredible. One thing I wish I knew going in, coming from a mid-range i5 CPU, this thing gets much hotter than those mid-range CPUs. 80c is normal under extreme load, and I have a very strong cooling system in a 360mm AIO and a very large case with excellent airflow. If you buy this CPU, thought MUST be put into a cooling solution either with a premium air cooler or an AIO.

Bought this for my new system with ASUS ROG motherboard. Came in a small box similar to most processors where there are space for the small processor and a cooler. This did not come with the cooler as advertised but in my experience, buy a better cooler especially with higher end processor because it creates a massive amount of heat. I think this is the better value versus the competition. Installation is easy, no bent pins, total of 24 threads, no headaches at this time other than hard to locate and purchase.

It's fast and powerful. Working really good with RTX 4080 and 4k monitor.

Very powerful at a price that is attainable price. With a reasonable cooler it runs at less than 40C.

More than enough for gaming. No need for the 5950x unless you plan on using it for anything other than gaming or if your games require 16 cores.
