    First build with my son. Nothing crazy…matched it with 7800xt. It’s not going to hit any benchmark homeruns but it handles anything you can throw at it. No issues with temps and a decent buy at $300 for a office/gaming setup

    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.

    The Ryzen 5900x CPU is amazing. Does All-Core 4.750Ghz using Precision Boost 0verdrive 2. Turbo's to 5Ghz or more on some cores. A significant jump from Ryzen 3000 series chips or older. Sockets directly into your existing or new B450/B550 and X570 motherboards. Make sure your BIOS is updated. Any of the 5xxx series processors will work out great to be honest, but if you are an extreme overclocker or want to keep your system around longer before it's replacement is required, you might want to splurge on the 5900x or 5950x.

    The Ryzen 9 5900X delivers exceptional value with its impressive price-to-performance ratio and minimal power consumption. I've remained a satisfied AMD user ever since making the switch from Intel back in 2011.

    I’ve always wanted to have a Ryzen 9 I finally decided to do so! Using this for editing on Photoshop and Lightroom is awesome! I have no issues with rendering or making quick changes like I used to. And for gaming it’s a little overkill but I have no regrets!

    Great CPU for intensive tasks like code compilation, 4K video editing, etc. Needs a good cooler though. Getting 45 to 60 degrees celsius under low load, 85+ under full load.

    12 cores 24 threads at 4.7ghz Pretty good Unfortunately I didn't win the silicon lottery I can't do all @4.8 and can't single core a 5ghz. Sad face . Coming from a 2700x I don't know how good it is in games because I can't purchase any rtx 3000 series cards or a rdna 2 cards . I'm too hard headed to purchase above MSRP prices. If everybody was like me scalpers wouldn't exist.
