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

Installing is as simple as slotting the pins into the slots, and pulling the locking lever up then down again. You need a 3rd party cooler device as the processor comes in an otherwise empty box. Im sure it says that somewhere or is just a known standard with AMD, but I wasnt expecting it.

It does get a little hot though. Make sure you have a good cooler before you buy

According to my benchmark its so fast that its sold out.

One of the best CPUs currently on the market. amazing multi thread and best in class single thread performance. Super happy with how its handled thus far, and the speed is just amazing.

es más caliente de lo que pensaba pero de momento va genial

Purchased this for a friend. The performance is killer!

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.

The CPU would boot to Bios screen but would not install windows 10 or 11. I tried with 2 different MB’s, updated flash on them, 2 different GPU’s, and 2 different coolers.

Mainly use my PC for Blender and swapped my 3600 for a 5900x. Saw a ~50% reduction in render times for a variety of scenes after overclocking to 4.6GHz. ~40% improvement just out of the box. Not much impact on viewport performance as mainly uses GPU. Runs about 80-85C at max load (using Noctua air cooler). Highly recommend if youre using creative software and looking for a considerable performance improvement. Definitely helps my workflow as I spend less time fiddling with sampling settings to optimise my render times.

Absolute overkill CPU, highly recommend
