Question 1

What is the process for getting the Far Cry 6 Promotional code with purchase?

Accepted Answer

I WAS ABLE TO GET THE CODE AT LAUNCH. Here is the official terms from AMD

"Campaign Period: Campaign Period begins November 5, 2020 at 9:00:00 AM Eastern Time (“ET”)
and ends on December 31, 2020 at 11:59:59 PM ET, or when supply of Coupon Codes is
exhausted, whichever occurs first. Please consult the world clock for time zone conversion
information.""

I was refused this at first, then I showed this and it was accepted.

Question 2

does this come with a cooler?

Accepted Answer

I clicked on the "Specs" tab for you and looked at "Cooling Device" - Here is your answer -"Cooling device not included - Processor Only."

You're welcome.

Question 3

when will more 5800x or 5900x be in stock, is there a definite date?

Accepted Answer

Doesn't matter, you must use a video card paired with this cpu. So this product is worthless.

Question 4

why are all of you crying for a game when you at least secured the cpu????

Accepted Answer

Because other people who secured the CPU also got the game, which is a free item that's included with the purchase. Don't understand your question or concern

Question 5

My question concerns the AMD Wraith Prism and Wraith Spire CPU air coolers from the Zen 2 CPU's.  How adequate a job do they do of cooling the Ryzen 7 5800X?  Are they even worth using?

Accepted Answer

5800X uses the same or less power so the Wraith Prism cooler is fine if you have it already.  It won't win you any awards other than it looks great but there are better options if you don't currently have a cooler.

Question 6

Does it work with the amd 570x chipset?

Accepted Answer

The X570 chipset will support it with a BIOS update. Same goes for the B550 chipset. Sometime around January the B450 and X470 chipsets will also support the Ryzen 5000 series with a BIOS update that will be released at that time.

Be aware that the BIOS update will need to be made BEFORE the Ryzen 5000 series chip is installed. The update may be irreversible and will cause a loss of compatibility with Ryzen 2000 series and newer parts.

Question 7

I now have a Ryzen 7 3800X and its been a great performer but now looking to upgrade. Will I see much of a game performance boost if I upgrade to the Ryzen 5800X?

Accepted Answer

The AMD Ryzen 7 5800X is described as the world's best 8-core gaming processor, optimized for high-FPS gaming and streaming. With boost clocks up to 4.7 GHz, 8 cores, 16 threads, and 36MB of cache, you can expect maximum performance for games. It should offer a significant upgrade in gaming performance compared to previous generation CPUs.

Question 8

Question 10
