A monster of a processor

3 PROCESSOR BUY ON COMBO AND 3 ALL DO AMD SUCKS

- it's super fast, and does everything I need it to do when it comes to gaming, 3D modeling, multi-tasking, etc. for the price this was an amazing deal.

Fast Cool Efficient High Speeds

Decent gaming performance at stock, performs notably better than my overclocked 7700x Excellent overclocking performance, gets similar gaming performance to my 7800x3D after tuning ram (running DDR5 8000 with manually tuned timings) and overclocking the cores, D2D, NGU, and Ring Ridiculous multithreading, it's an ultra 9 285k in all but name. in many cases it's faster due to the increase uncore clocks at stock. Absolutely shreds my rendering workloads. no Price, $300 is midrange tier pricing in the big 2026 unfortunately. But this CPU is very clearly very high end.

Updated from a Ryzen 9 3900X and this one is so much faster both single core and particularly all cores.Using this to power various things but particularly flight sims. Gives a decent FR increase using X-Plane over my old Ryzen 9 3900X.

Great for gaming. Every game that I have loaded on my system from Cyberpunk 2077 to Dragon's Dogma 2, it handles with no issues whatsoever. This is with all settings maxed out.

Works perfectly as expected. Games great, does everything else great. Perfect processor.

-Fast -Great OC capability -Great synergy with AMD products

Came in super fast

Thing is a beast for gaming

- Takes everything you throw at it

High productivity with good power consumption. Plenty of cores/threads for gaming and productivity.


Runs cool. Price. Free Intel badge. NO RGB. Next version will be faster. An endless story.

Had been on 8-core CPU's for the longest time, but I found that I was multi-tasking more and more. This CPU fit the bill and it was a noticeable speed bump over my old 5800X. It was a nice middle ground as the next level up, 9950X, was beyond my budget. Plenty good enough for gaming also. Power efficiency is still good enough to stick to air cooling.



Easy peazy to install Hums like a dream and fast? wow ..

Stats to max out my motherboard. Simple install, no fuss no issue (so far), still working on build so haven't powered up yet but I'm confident!
