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

I upgrade from a 2700x to the 5900x. I do see the difference while playing (WoW). I also play Timberborn, here the improvement is there, but still after reaching ~ 70-90 bevears the framerate is seriously going down to the point where its not enjoyable.

Initially, I didnt want to buy the 5900X as the 5800X served me well enough, though the extra cores would have been a little useful. However, when the sale came, it was better than even when I got my 5800X and that wasnt my real motivator for grabbing this. The real point was that I needed a 3000 series to upgrade someone that I was paying them back for assisting me with something. I initially was checking for a decent 5000 series to upgrade them from, but I was concerned that the system may not handle well and while they didnt need anything gaming oriented, I still wanted to give some teeth where it needed while using a B350 board. So I settled with buying the 5900X to give the 5800X to my father in exchange for the 3600X that he had which was mine originally. Hence the minor step up.

If your still using an am4 compatible motherboard, id recommend. Upgraded from a 5600x and now everything runs so much better than before, great price for the improvement and actually paid less for this CPU now, and i did the 5600x when it released in 2020. Much better performance from 5900x

Great for multi-purpose use such as gaming and productivity uses. Happy with purchase.

Runs paint just fine

Incredible generational performance increases, great power efficiency versus Intel equivalent CPUs, and still backwards compatible with older sockets.

This CPU completely screwed up my PC.

I successfully installed the AMD Ryzen 9 5900x cpu onto an ASUS Crosshair VI Extreme. Note that I went from an AMD Ryzen 5 1600 to this much more powerful cpu with no difficulty on an older X370 chipset motherboard. AMD had updates to both the onboard chipset as and the BIOS to allow the series 9 5900 to work on a legacy motherboard. It took AMD a while to get it done, but my computer runs well with no issues. I have read some others have had problems updating from a Ryzen 1000 series to a 5000 series, so do the updates to the onboard chipset firmware and BIOS before pulling out your old cpu, and definately dont get rid of it until you know your motherboard will work with a higher series cpu.

great processor, however amazon decided to ship it inside a plastic packaging instead of an actual box. $550 processor could of have gotten damage.
