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

Very satisfied

Worth the cost

Its a monster OC with 1.3v hitting 4.65ghz all cores stable ran cinebinche extreme load for 30 mins without crashing and cores never went over 85. Runs 60 - 70 under normal gaming conditions.

Compared to the 3900X, it runs slightly cooler, has a much higher burst, completes all single-threaded tasks approximately 25% faster, and completes all well-threaded tasks approximately 50% faster.

This is my second 5950x. The first one started throwing BSODs after about 6 months of usage. I use it for work, and its not overclocked. Now its BSODing every day several times. I disabled Core Performance Boost and it helped - the BSODs are gone along with 15% performance. Not good. Not sure how long this one will last, but I dont think Ill be buying AMD CPUs in the future.

I upgraded from the Ryzen 3950xt to this one. Great improvement by far. Be aware this is a very hot processor so choose the right cooler AIO or otherwise. Do a lot of research as there is plenty of great coolers out there. Use new products not used as this is expensive.

Pricey. Fast and blazes through anything.

Amazon, thank you so much.

Pretty decent handling and the temps aren’t too bad. Can run hot at times so want to make sure you have a decent amount of air flow.

I bought this hoping that it would improve my framerates in Destiny 2. I knew that D2 likes Intel more than AMD, but the latest reviews were showing this CPU as outperforming Intel i9s in almost all games tested, so I figured itd help out. Making sure that my GPU wasnt the bottle neck, I turned down all of my settings and was getting 80-95 fps in most areas, thats the same performance I was getting with my previous CPU.
