AMD Ryzen 9 5950X 16-core, 32-Thread Unlocked Desktop Processor

The AMD 5950X is a great processor and AMD warranty service was great. My processor failed after 6 hours, and AMD sent me a replacement within a week. If an electronic device is going to fail it is usually in the first few hours. I don’t expect AMD to burn-in every CPU.

I barely get to use my system and its mostly for light gaming. Looks like Im one of the unfortunate individuals to receive the bad batches. Constantly getting random crashes. Tried swapping memory, tried one stick, two sticks still crashing. Tried lowering memory speeds, still crashing. Tried updating mobo bios, still crashing, Tried turning off xmp(doch or whatever it is) still crashing. Tried swapping out video cards still crashing. Now I have to deal with amd horrible rma process. Never getting amd again!

This is the HEDT CPU I crave. Superb performance. Better than the Ryzen 3900X I already own.

Nice and fast. Works great

Love the 5950 I have two of them. One for a gaming pc with 6900xt and one for my unraid server. Good temps and tons of cores!

I upgraded from a 7700K. The last of intel’s “we have no competition, therefore we are going to remain complacent” processors. I bought this after the launch of the 5800X3D and chose it, because I have a GPU bottleneck and could probably use the extra cores going into the future. The 12900K absolutely has better single core performance, but the two things that made me choose 5950X, the fact that I fell victim to intel’s complacency. Second, the longevity and performance gains of the AM4 socket from Ryzen 1XXX to Ryzen 5XXX. I’m running this alongside a 3080Ti in a meshlicious package and I couldn’t be happier.

Its fast multi-core, its fast single core. Went from a 3900XT to this, and whoa, its a totally different level.

Everything about this processor was above my expectations for it! It came cleanly in the packaging and was extremely easy to install. It gave my PC a huge fps boost in games and made everything run smoother when games arent being played. I previously had some issues with my old processor when it came to running some high intensity games but this processor has fixed all of that. This processor is definitely going on my list of recommendations for peoples custom builds.

Very satisfied

its okay
