    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.

    Best Processor I have ever had. This thing is a beast. So far no weird issues with virtualization like the Intel IOMMU shortcuts I've run into in the past.

    My box came slit from the top due to a warehouse employee probably opening the shipment boxes deep with a knife. It also had a small dent on the side. I enjoy keeping my PC component boxes neat in my room, so this made me sad. The CPU on the other hand, all pins were fine. I haven’t tested the CPU to see if it’s DOA (missing a few parts) but I’m optimistic it should be fine. I’m ready to unleash the power seeing the specs :)

    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.

    Replaced a 5800x that somehow went out. Comp runs a bit faster and rending is okay. I need to upgrade my GPU, but gotta wait.
