AMD Ryzen 9 5900X 12-core, 24-Thread Unlocked Desktop Processor

Incredible performance for $384. I couldnt have imagined this even five years ago. It likes to run hot out of the box. Zen three loves to boost as long as there is adequate cooling. Using the curve optimizer, you can lower temps quite a bit and improve boost clocks. (You can disable PBO and temperatures are very mild) I have several cores that will boost over 5ghz. With a 280mm AIO cooler, my temps are around 40 degrees Celsius at idle and low 70s under load. Generally it is around 68 degrees when gaming. You can set a thermal threshold in the bios if you want to cap temps. Cores will throttle in respect to your temperature cap. Even with 5.1ghz boost clocks, the chip only draws around 90 watts when gaming. (Compare that to the 200 plus watts of the 12900k)

Processeur au top des performances mais attention il chauffe beaucoups… le vcore est trop élevé, une fois baissée les températures sont convenable. 45 degrés en iddle et 70 en jeu (accouple avec un AIO obligatoire)

I was extremely happy to see that a new bios update made the 5000 series processors compatible with my old x370-f and ab350 motherboards. Major upgrade from my old Ryzen 5 2600. Now if only I could find an affordable gpu.

Super solid CPU, even tho its a bit overkill, depending what you use it for

Ive been building machines for a long time - and honestly, Ive never heard of this... a CPU without that ability to process graphics. I purchased one of the highest ROG motherboards and purchased this CPU to start the build process. Knowing that the board has HDMI and a display port - figured I was in good shape to start the build. NOPE. After installing the CPU, Memory and hard drive - I had no screen... tried everything no screen... Turns out that the process does not have the ability to process graphics and send out to the motherboard. You need a separate video card - now typically I get a video card at some point but in this case, I had to immediately in order to install Windows.

I hope the chip is alright since it has been poorly packaged. Praying and hoping that its not faulty.

The product arrived fine, shipping box and material was intact. However, when opening the box it was evident the cpu pins were bent. Couldnt seat in the motherboard socket, had to return and buy one locally, which worked.

I would like to start off with saying that my original order of the Ryzen 9 5900X arrived with an empty box. What a heartbreaking moment.

Cant go wrong with tgis. Every pc i build i use the ryzen 9 5900x. Amazing

I got it for a great price two years after launch. Still a great CPU while being 3 years old, Nov 2022. Very fast, renders my videos fast, unzips files fast. Get it or the 5950x if you need a few more cores!
