I recently switched to this from an Intel i9 processor and this thing is an absolute powerhouse. What can I say It's one of the strongest processors on the market installation is easy even for a beginner Just take your time watch a video read the instructions and be very very careful with it.

A bit on the costly side, but its a wonderful upgrade and has plenty of cores to handle just about any workload or game.
Also, BE SURE TO PICKUP A PROPER COOLER! The box looks large like the old AMD CPU types from several years ago, but it does not have any cooler! Get one at the time of purchase or order one online that can handle the heat properly!

So I ended up not being able to get this product through Best Buy because the deliverer from Shipt refused to follow the instructions I had given and ended up returning it. However, I ended up getting this from Newegg and I can tell you that either one would've worked the same. It's powerful and works like a charm. My PC is completely buffed because of this.

This is a super fast processor!!!
I am not a gamer, my machine is built for editing high Megapixel photographs and with this AMD Ryzen I go through my editing quite fast, especially downloading from SD cards. I have a water cooled system to avoid heat issues.

Great processor handles everything you throw at it and increases my fps but a noticeable amount and rpg and story based games run smoother with my nvidia 3080 and cooler.

Beast CPU. Be careful of the ram kit you pair with this CPU. Don’t expect to run 128GB ram. I received a used CPU with thermal paste residue but the local store swapped it out no questions.

I recommend getting the ryzen 9 if you can. So fast compared to my last computer. I feel it will be a decent amount of time before this seems slow and needs an upgrade. Im running Ubuntu with no problems.

My PC broke down randomly one day, and I had to scramble at best buy to get all the parts I needed to fix my PC. I bought this since it was one of the only processors they had. This processor was super easy to install since the am5 sockets have the pins built into the mobo instead of on the chip. Very powerful as well.

Cant say enough good things about this chip. Its been such a game changer when working on 8K RED footage. The HEVC encoder and decoders make a difference in DaVinci Resolve!

very very fast but some early issues with my motherboard put a damper on my initial experience. Great CPU for workstation. I am running it with a 360 AIO and while temps are higher than previous gen its not too bad; happy so far but wondering if the value is there with 13900K coming in cheaper

best buy helped me build my PC. This is one of the parts that they recommended. I’ve got Starfield and a few other games that I max the performance out on. Haven’t noticed any issues.

Although the prices for new-gen CPU’s are through the roof. I velive this varient and the X3D are amazing choices for next gen gaming and video editing.
