    This cpu melted, but that could be a motherboard issue. Having previously bought a 5950x I can say for sure it is a beastly cpu.

    This thing is fast. I almost got the next gen intel chip but I'm glad I got the ryzen. I haven't owned an AMD CPU for over 15 years but this eats anything I throw at it.

    This is a great processor for the price! The only downside is that it doesn’t come with cooler, but with this amount of performance you would want a very nice cooler anyways.

    This thing is fast. Out of the box it smokes my 3700x. Once I enabled PBO2 this thing really took off and benchmarks nearly as high as a Threadripper 2990WX.
