BEST SELLERS

In CPU / Processor

Competes with modern cpus on a last gen socket, no need for ddr5 or new mobo

My brother was doing a grant thing to build a computer. This processor had a total of $97 after a little discount code and it is probably the best processor Ive ever installed and has very good performance for the price. It also paired well with his 1660 Super

- Cuts through games and programs like butter AM5 means no more annoying pins Stays comfortably under 80° with my Liquid Freezer 3

65w tdp, but tunable and overclockable. Running it with an AIO watercooler, runs 40-65 celsios typically. Came up immediately with a discrete graphic card. ( I was having trouble with other (similar, used, no graphics cpu , Perhaps it is a simpler initialization when the cpu has graphics? ) It is nice to have the "latest and greatest Zen 5 core., as of 2025 I dabble in performance coding / performance optimization, I wanted the full 512 bit avx512 support featured in Zen 5. This CPU is a price/performance sweet spot.

Amazing performance to price ratio. Upgraded from 265K which I traded in.

Built in graphics 32 concurrent threads < $1000

As described by everyone else FAST AND POWERFUL . Runs cool with just a 2 fan air cooler

Pros: Fastest gaming cpu currently, ~$150 less than intel's closest performer at time of purchase. Low heat, I use a cheaper Shadow Rock 3 air cooler from bequiet, and the temps never go above ~72C unless at 100% load (which is very rare for me since I only use it for games). Very low use of power, unlike intel's garbage 250W power suckers, this cpu is usually around ~40-60w while gaming and rarely goes above 70W. Perfect for those like me who lover to tinker with their hardware to get maximum performance Overclocking works great on a lower tier b650 board, but I personally stay undervolted for around the same amount of performance, while using less power, less heat, and less fan noise from my cooler. Very easy to set up and has worked great on my rig for over 7 months now.

Is one of the lower end AM5 X3D cpu.

- Powerful - Fast - Easy install

I had a 5900x and got it on a sale but always wanted the 16/32 core 5950x since it was the best CPU AMD released for AM4. But it was always priced with too much inflated pricing. I got this 5900XT Jan 2026, 16/32, core CPU because it was priced right and had the full 16 cores I wanted. I got it because I decided to not buy into AM5 at the moment because of DDR5 pricing is so high, but I wanted some sort of an upgrade right now and I already have 64GB ram and a 7900XTX card. I am glad I bought it because I am pretty sure I got a cherry of a CPU. I used Ryzen master to do the curve optimizer testing and after 2 hours of it running it set all cores to -30 negative. I was a bit skeptical of this choice but ran with it and it has been 100% solid and stable and boost to 4975-5000Mhz. I left every setting alone in the bios and the AMD software set the bios up according to the tests it did when I ran the software. The only thing I setup myself was the DDR4 which is set to 3733Mhz with decent timings not the best but pretty decent. In Aida64 my latency when tested is about 57-59ns which is pretty good I think for a dual CCD CPU. I am happy with my choice so far. It does seem to be faster than my older 5900x 12/24 CPU in games mainly because it seems to hold the core clocks a lot longer and temps do not seem to affect it as much as on the older 5900x did.

Had to return, waiting on new cpu. Return process was easy. Update! Received a new CPU and it worked great! So far so good. The 9700x runs VERY cool and boosts up to 5.5 ghz. I'm using an ARCTIC COOLING Liquid Freezer III - 240 and even during stress tests it only gets to 55c.

Excellent performance for gaming and creative applications Affordable price Efficient power consumption Cooler temperatures

-Fastest gaming cpu aside from 14900KS as of writing this review (they're super close) -The p-cores overclock better than 13th gen.

Roughly 10% better performance over the Ryzen 7 5700X - minuscule, but in case anyone cares to know.

Latest generation of the Core I5 unlocked CPU. Great for general purpose computing.

Easy OC w/ proper cooler Incredible pairing with RTX 3080 Hitting 200+ FPS w/ ultra settings

One of the best processors you can get if you're on the AM4 platform.
