This was my first AMD build - giving up on Intel! After looking at the options for another purpose-built machine for MS Flight Sim (my previous was an i9-9900K which worked decently), this cpu seemed the obvious choice both from a performance and availability perspective. I paired it with an MSI MAG X870e mobo and BeQuiet Dark Rock Pro 5 cooler, and for now, an RTX 4070ti GPU (until sanity returns to the GPU market).

With PBO a bit tweaked, it feels like a muscle car under a cape

I put this in my old optiplex 390 after building my new pc and they both idle around 34°c And its easey to apply.

Very good gaming CPU. Very efficient and performs well.

Fast, cheap, low power, great value!

Fast Cool Efficient High Speeds

Easy to put together and take apart before applying thermal paste for install.

It seems fantastic runs like a jet

Best CPU for both gaming and productivity so far. Definitely a very good upgrade from a 13th Gen Intel i9 that had instability issues. Doesn't get so hot when multitasking. This thing is fast

This cpu paired with 4060 can run anything with frames over the 200 range no shutter no slow down. With new high profile games. I can honestly see no point in buying the x3d chips when this does everything gaming wise!

This processor is another great upgrade from the older series.

NovaBench score went from 2900 to 3500 - same memory, ssd and RTX 4060ti gpu

-Amazing CPU with a really good price/performance ratio. -Runs way cooler than it's Intel counterparts. -Excels at providing decent performance in both games and productivity applications.


- Easy, flawless installation - Simple assembly - Pump and fans run pretty quiet overall - RGB lights are nice touch and can be turned off - Good performance (~40C idle with Ryzen 7 9800x3D)

-Easy install -VERY fast

Was cheaper than the 7800x3d at the time of purchase

Goated Fast Price-Performance

Awsome compound! easy to install great website support

Current features and 1700 pin socket make it somewhat future proof. The dollars are chasing the GEN13/14 making this device affordable
