Great processor but very expensive for only 8 cores

This thing is ridiculously fast, if you need to know how fast just Google review sites, but for gaming it’s hard to beat! B&H got me my processor right away after they got some in. Took just shy of two and half weeks to restock, and a day and a half to ship it to me. It was in the manufacturers packaging sealed in a plain B&H box filled with those balloon packaging things. So if you’re worried it will get swiped or smashed like from other retailers, don’t. I’m very impressed with B&H.

Great chip, decent price and it was available! Factory settings it runs a bit hot, but undervolting with PBO2 really helps.

Top notch performance, bought at MSRP thanks B&H for holding the line and not scalping during the shortages.

Nice upgrade from my ancient Intel i7 3770K. Idles at 28-30, but if I start doing literally anything it jumps up to the 30-35 range and stays there until I either go back to doing nothing or start running a heavier workload. From my understanding, this is to be expected for this particular processor for various engineering reasons. A 5600X or 5900X (if you can find one…) might be a better value proposition and would probably have better heat distribution (again, for engineering reasons I’m not equipped to explain), but so far I’ve been satisfied with this processor’s performance. I mostly use it for software development, plus some casual gaming and light video editing. My cooler is a Noctua NH-U12A.

This is a very great product that I don’t regret purchase and it has served me really well. I’d recommend purchasing this for any computer or whatever needs you would want it for. This top of the line part will for sure make you happy.

droped it in and tested it with passmark. nominal ratings on this chip are 28k , mine clocked in at 24k. I tweaked it up using the new curve optimizer where you can pull voltage back a bit, one core at a time. and got it close to 28k. The rest of the setting made little difference when compared to reducing the heat loss with the Curve Optimizer settings. In the end, mine is a good 10% lowered on the single core speed, while surpassing 5ghz on the multicore test on 7 of the 8 cores. Not sure why, and it was tedious work. It replace a 3600xt which was running effortlessly ( after also tweaking) at 4.5ghz. The scores for testing are great for tuning. These chips are so much better that you do not loose. My system has an x470 board and a single fan water cooler.

Even going from a 5600x to this CPU, there was a great difference. Would recommend!

easy setup, no broken connectors, no problems – it’s still new but the overall reviews for it are great! we’ll see… after setting up on a B550 – i decided to let it auto-adjust clock performance in BIOS it’s base-clock showed 3.8ghz – pretty standard after reboot it Shown a 4.85 while recommended MAX was 4.7!… i limited it for now to no higher than 4.7 until i finish optimizing…

Several months in of use, and my observations are this… I replaced a 6700K (at 4.5GHz all core) and the performance is night and day. I do a lot of music production/editing and gaming, and the performance difference between these chips is ridiculous. But of course, I would expect that across the 7 year or so technology gap. I went from frequent buffer underruns at particular settings to none whatsoever, and able to run full processor usage effects versus lite settings which were supposed to help save processing power, from 70%+ usage on the 6700K to consistently under 20% on the 5800X, sometimes spiking up but usually never averaging over 20-25%. Benchmarks also showed significant improvement, from under 480 points single core and 2270 multicore CBr20 (with overclock) to 624 single and 5,968 multicore (stock), this processor is a great replacement for a new system. That said, this chip runs HOT. It’s not 105W like a lot of people claim, not even 120W. Actual usage with Ryzen Master shows it’s actually 142W, under normal operating range. My original temps were topping around 88C, with a 360mm radiator. Some of that could be the radiator as when I lapped the cold plate, temps became stable around 85C, but still too high for my taste. After playing with curve optimizer, I set a negative offset of -2 and not only did my CBr23 scores raise by a thousand (final multicore score was 15,5xx) but temps dropped several degrees as well. Yes, performance increased while temps dropped – I call that a win/win. Max normal operating temp went to about 83C. This is also under intensive CPU load with synthetic benchmarks, but gaming usually sits around 62C, whereas before plate lapping and reducing voltage curve I would sit normally 68-74C. All in all, excellent chip to move to for an upgrade. If the price tag is a bit too hefty for you, a 5600X is also a solid purchase at a more reasonable price. I built a system for a friend where he decided to go with a 3700X, and even that was a great replacement to an aging chip as well. And of course, B&H was excellent in the ordering process, much better than several other vendors that I had consistently ordered from in the past!

IDK if I got a defective unit, but I am idling around 50 degrees C with a AIO that is pretty good.

Building a computer for my daughter who does photography. I have a year old 3600x and for gaming (which is all I do) there is a noticeable (eyeball) performance gain. My guess is she will notice a performance gain in her work as well. Both systems are virtually the same, Aorus Master X570, 2T Sabrent M.2, her PSU Seasonic Platinum 1300w, mine Corsair H1200i Platinum, 2 Corsair Carbide Air 540 (6 builds now using this case), EVGA 1080Ti FTW3, hers EVGA 2080Ti FTW3 (current gen video cards are an illusion sigh), Arctic LF2 for her, the stock cooler that comes with the 3600X is good enough. GSkill 4×8 3200 cl14 14 14 34 and GSkill 4×8 3600 cl 16 16 16 36. I did not eyeball any performance difference using either set, but both seemed smother running then my old Corsair Dominator Platinum 4×4 2800 cl16 18 18 36. As I just got my second shot, it will be a couple weeks before I will be able to update this as to any performance uplift she sees (and see my grandkids). I have purchased several computer components from B&H Photo and can easily recommend them to others.

Performance/dollar could be a little better, but otherwise this is a fantastic CPU.
Israel Oberbrunner (verified owner) –
Worth every penny.
Adeline Hill (verified owner) –
Got way more then expected. Fit my budget.

Upgraded from 2700x to 5800x. This cpu is on an Asus x570-p with 32gb of Adata 3600 mhz cl18. All I had to do was enable DOCP in bios and run Ryzen master to get boost frequencies of 4986 in cinebench r23 single core. Would purchase again. Customer service from B&H was great. Contacted through email several times for information on backorder of this cpu since I had pre-ordered it. Worth the wait. I know it’s in high demand but if you are thinking or purchasing one, dont hesitate.

I was planning on buying either the 5900x or 5950x but due to availability, this was what I ended up getting. Solid processor, can’t complain much.
Harold Waelchi (verified owner) –
I was able to buy this CPU for $319 and no tax thanks to a B&H $75 off coupon – an absolutely unreal price. This was the first time I’ve upgraded my CPU since building my tower with a 2nd gen i5 and it’s awesome. The only drawback is that the new chips don’t come with a cooler in the box, so you’ll need to have thermal paste on hand.

Great performance per dollar. Would say this is the sweet spot in AMDs lineup without over paying.

Installed my new Ryzen 7 5800X in an ITX build and I am very happy with it’s performance. I used Ryzen Master for a small overclock on a Gigabyte X570 I WiFi Pro MB with latest Bios version. My cooling solution is a cooler master 240 AIO cooler, which appears to work great so far in my specific build. I highly recommend the Ryzen 7 5800X.
