AMD Ryzen 9 5900X 12-Core 3.7 GHz Socket AM4 105W 100-100000061WOF Desktop Processor

Pros: Absolute monster of a CPU

Cons: The general scarcity of 5000 series at launch was a major problem - I only managed to snag this 5900x as a bundle that was available for less than 3 minutes.

Overall Review: I would absolutely recommend this product - IF one can get their hands on it!

Pros: much easier to install that i thought it would be(first time builder). cool idle temps around 30c with an air cooler. No crashing so far.

Overall Review: great CPU when you can get it. Thanks new egg for all the bundle options which helps with bots.

Pros: Great for multitasking and also tends to work well with chrome since chrome has up to 12 rendering threads at a time or more. This cpu works best with 3600 Mhz ram that is low latency (16 cas).

Cons: None other than the fact that the CPU is finicky with ram and likes double sided ram and or low latency ram to get good bench mark numbers. I am using a crucial 32gb kit (3600 mhz) 16 cas and have good percentile benchmarks.

Overall Review: Fast and works well with low latency ram.

Pros: Solid all around.

Overall Review: Initially I was surprised by how high idle temps are (38-50 degrees Celsius) however under load I maxed out at about 65 which is great IMO. Upgraded from an i7-6700k, 100% worth it.

Pros: Powerful and fast. Gaming and the ability to handle workloads with ease. What else do you want? Temps are great, handled by my Noctua NH-U12a. Hovered around 60c under load.

Cons: Stock for people who cant get this bad boy.

Overall Review: I'm pretty happy with this purchase, perfect for my new system. Was using a 2700 before so the increase that the 5900x brings to my PC is definitely noticeable in multiple applications and games. AMD has really outdone themselves with this series! Hope everyone else can get their hands on this soon!

Pros: Truly amazing. Drops the hammer in a big way on the 3900X I had. This CPU has noticeably lower latency and more punch in general and every benchmark I've run so far backs this claim up. Runs noticeably cooler than my 3900x with the same cooler. This thing boosts to an incredible 4940 mhz (single core) on my Asus ROG Strix X570-I motherboard set to default settings with the 2816 beta bios. I am extremely hopeful that this CPU will still be able to "hang" several years from now.

Cons: NOT IN STOCK! What the heck, AMD?! This was in stock for 3 minutes on Newegg last Friday and I just happened to snag one. Would love for these to be readily available because this truly is an amazing CPU.

Overall Review: AMD bringing the heat like this is SO GOOD for consumers. Competition is good and keeps companies from getting stagnant (like Intel had gotten, and AMD would have gotten if they were in the same position). Both Team Red and Team Blue fans should rejoice at the breakthroughs AMD has been making. Exciting things are on the horizon!

Pros: -Huge upgrade over my 4790K -Nothing seems to phase it -Price/core -Performance/watt -24 logical cores in Task Manager makes me happy

Cons: -Still a struggle to find in stock

Overall Review: I've been patiently waiting for an uncompromising improvement over the 4790K which has been bulletproof over the last 7 years. The 5000 series finally achieved that, IMO. Finding one's been an adventure, to say the least. I finally beat the bots to acquire one and couldn't be happier. It's so much more powerful than the 4790K that, I haven't found a task it doesn't devour with aplomb. I haven't even needed to OC it. Just set the XMP profile on my RAM, set my FCLK to 1900, and can now run all the VMs I need for work without issue. I'm running a Noctua NH-D15 and it never broke 70C, even during the burn-in testing. Total system power stays below 400W under load. That's efficiency!
