    Had a 3700x (which has been awesome), but the 5950x has been such a huge boost in performance. It pairs nicely with my evga 3090. Disappointed that it wasnt on sale, like other sites were selling it during black friday, and that weekend.

  • Was Dead-on-Arrival

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    Bought at the same time as a new motherboard because I didn’t know which one had failed in my old setup. New CPU was dead on arrival and did not work once installed in the new motherboard. Only upside is that I had a different CPU that DID work in the new morherboard, which let me know that the issue had been my old motherboard. Returned the dead CPU with no issues. Giving 3 stars because my current CPU is not far off in series number from the new-but-dead one, and the return process was quick and simple.

    For the top of the line offering from Asus, you can tell this product was manufactured during a chip shortage, just doesn't feel like quality silicon unfortunately
