AMD - Ryzen 9 5900X 4th Gen 12-core, 24-threads Unlocked Desktop Processor Without Cooler - Black
- Key Specs
- Processor Socket: Socket AM4 (PGA 1331) (Type of pin configuration that connects a CPU to a computer’s motherboard.)
- PCI Express Version: PCI Express 4.0
- CPU Base Clock Frequency: 3.7 gigahertz (Actual central processing unit (CPU) speed may vary by device configuration and design. The average rate at which the processor is able to execute tasks under normal operating conditions as asserted by the manufacturer.)
- CPU Boost Clock Frequency: 4.8 gigahertz (Actual central processing unit (CPU) speed may vary by device configuration and design. The maximum rate at which the processor is able to execute tasks, typically only used for a short period of time as needed.

This memory is typically integrated directly with the CPU chip or placed on a separate chip that has a separate bus interconnect with the CPU.)
- L3 Cache: 64 megabytes (Cache memory, also called CPU memory, is random-access memory (RAM) that a computer microprocessor can access more quickly than it can access regular RAM. This memory is typically integrated directly with the CPU chip or placed on a separate chip that has a separate bus interconnect with the CPU.)

- Number of CPU Threads: 24 (Generally, the more threads, the faster and more responsive the operating system.)
- Unlocked Processor: true
- Hard Drive Accelerator: None (A module integrated (or added) into a PC to improve performance speed. By acting as a high-speed cache, an accelerator speeds up access times to the hard drive, which results in faster web browsing, improved gaming experience, and overall more responsiveness.)
- Memory
- Maximum Memory Supported: 128 gigabytes
- Memory Type Supported: DDR4
- Number of Memory Channels Supported: 2
- Cache Level: L2, L3 (The cache stores data that the CPU needs to access quickly in order to complete tasks. Each level is ranked according to priority of access; Level 1 (L1) cache stores data that the CPU needs to access first. L1 cache is also the fastest but holds the least amount of data, with each following level decreasing in speed but increasing in capacity.)
- L2 Cache: 6 megabytes (Cache memory, also called CPU memory, is random-access memory (RAM) that a computer microprocessor can access more quickly than it can access regular RAM. This memory is typically integrated directly with the CPU chip or placed on a separate chip that has a separate bus interconnect with the CPU.)

This memory is typically integrated directly with the CPU chip or placed on a separate chip that has a separate bus interconnect with the CPU.)
- Features

Q: Will this run MS Paint @ 4k with Ultra settings?
A: No. It's better to wait for Rocket Lake-S or even Zen 4.
A: The 5000 series processors and 3000/6000 series gpus are all pick up only because it stops scalpers from buy them, and getting them shipped to their place without any actual human proof. Basicity to stop scalpers from scalping cards
Q: When will you guys be receiving the next stock and is there a way to get notified or reserve one?
A: From past experienced drops, they seem to come in Tuesday or Wednesday between 10am - 1pm Eastern. So far it has been two back to back Tuesdays and it's every other week. When you see add to cart, just be patient and don't refresh.
A: Don't go with the 3900x, wait for a retail 5900x if you can - Don't let your urges send you into the Scalper pit...
Q: What is the best dip to go with this chip?
A: Artic Mx4 is pretty good
Q: Will the Wraith Prism Cooler found in previous Ryzen models be enough to cool the new chips?
A: AMD did spec the Wraith Prism cooler for use with the 3900X(same wattage) so it's doable, however, I would say it's less than optimal if you expect the full performance of the processor for any significant length of time.
A: Given that raw components such as processors are not BB's bread and butter, they most likely don't get a large allotment. I'd be surprised if we are able to get one here. I have several sites that I check periodically during the day and they never show in stock either.
Q: Do you offer a deposit option with in-store pickup? Prepaid option also is helpful.
A: They do not. I offered to pay in advanced and they said they don't do waiting lists or prepays.
