    I'm happy that I was able to get this at retail price a few weeks ago from Best Buy. I still haven't been able to score a graphics card yet but hopefully someday soon. This is a great CPU, very noticeable speed increase over the ryzen 3600XT that I had prior. It runs slightly warmer but not much than the 3600xt. Just make sure you have a good CPU Cooler and adequate air flow in your case and you'll be good to go. Very good benchmark scores with just a slight overclock, worth $100 savings over the 5900x especially if you don't need the 12 cores which most people don't. I highly recommend!

    Upgraded from a 1600x, than to a 5600x. My 5600x CPU one day decided to stop working. This forced me to purchase a new CPU. The RMA process for AMD was super easy. I am keeping the 5600x as a backup. Going from mostly the AM4 Ryzen 5 series to the Ryzen 7 5800x is a huge leap depending on the applications you require. The horsepower this CPU gives you under load and multi-tasking is insane. For what I do, this CPU is overkill but the price is just too good to pass up. This CPU does run a bit warmer than the 5600x but not by much. I have a 240mm AIO cooler from ID Cooling and it keeps the temps around 41C - 80C.

    This processor really packs a punch! It's quite the upgrade from my old ryzen 5 1500x. This is a pretty high grade processor, make sure to do your research before purchasing. No problems with it so far, I just built my new computer a couple of days ago and it's doing a great job!

    Really fast processor. Being able to utilize gen4 pcei allows for super fast write speeds for my m.2 drives. Games and all load SUPER quick. I've paired this with a rtx3090 for a great 160hz gaming experience. I couldn't be more happy with this setup.

    Incredible Performance

    Coming from a Ryzen 5 2600X, this is a surprisingly large upgrade. Performance is noticeably better and more consistent in CPU-bound things like emulation and some games. Obviously, this chip completely destroys synthetic benchmarks. Just know that these chips run very hot without some tweaking in the BIOS. Before tweaking, my Cryorig R1 cooler was barely able to keep this chip under control (60s when idle, 80s under any load). With the appropriate tweaks, the chip idles in the 40s and only reaches the mid-60s under most loads, with certain heavy loads bringing it into the low 70s.

    Huge upgrade from R5 3600

    Upgrading from a Rzyen 5 3600, the difference is STELLAR. Highly recommend, and pairs well with my RTX 2080. Only downside is it runs quite hot under basically every load type, really concerning at first, but from what people say online that is the norm because of the 3D VCache.

    I went from an I3 and of course I see a major difference since I wasn’t able to play some of the major title games but with this and a 1060 I am pretty much in gamer heaven I am totally gonna upgrade my gpu later but for now I am perfectly fine playing most of my games. 5/5 but if you don’t know how to install it don’t try it yourself seek a professional.

    Good processor, smashes everything I throw at it. Run at 4.7 ghz and stays nice and cool on water, first AMD processor since my 8350 days. Had a couple issues with getting the bios on the MSI motherboard to update before install but figured it out

    This is has been the perfect update from my R5 3600. I'm seeing at least 10 FPS difference in most games and all I had to do is upgrade my bios and drop it in. Will be sticking with AMD on AM5 when prices come down.

    I’ve been using the processor for a little over a month and it’s a beast. I have it overclocked to 4.7 ghz and it’s a HUGE upgrade from a ryzen 5 3600. It’s great for gaming and video editing. I game at 1080p paired with a Radeon 6700xt. I get way above 144hz gaming on almost every game. Playing multiplayer on cod mw2 I get about 160-190 fps average max settings. Really recommend because it’s a good budget processor.
