Hello fellow gamers! I normally am a bit reserved when it comes to cpu's but I have been watching this cpu pricing and when I was able to finally get this beast in a combo deal I was all in for the deal! It runs very consistent and fast! I play a lot of high demanding games and stream using just the one rig. And it handles it all with no problems and the cpu actually stay relativity cool under heavy load. Great product and reliable

Got this to replace a Ryzen 5600 system. Noticeable speed increase and runs cooler too. Using it mostly for video file playback and it doesn't chug on 8K or high bit-rate 4K content. Got it on sale so the price was right. A good option for a starter gaming PC.

works perfectly fine

Power usage is surprisingly low


Goated Fast Price-Performance

Solid, stable

It runs cool and the extra lanes of Gen 5 PCIe is superior to LGA1700 designs.

I was worried about temps I use iCUE H115i RGB PRO XT 280mm and I gotta say I idle at 46c - 56c Tip download Ryzen Master and use eco mode for just relaxing and watching videos you can turn it off whenever you wanna play a game etc. or you can just under-volt up to you. Temps with eco mode 39c to 47c I did try Call of Duty®: Modern Warfare® II paired with a 3080 OCed was getting a constant 144FPS I did cap my FPS but no stuttering no Screen tearing at 3440x1440 max settings on ECO mode temps were 58c - 70c

I had no problem installing into my pc.


Beats most last Gen i9s in cinebench and haven't even used it to full capacity during normal workloads

Nice speeds Nice power draw Nice temps

Was a decent price 12/24 cores that can go above 5ghz boosted

Windows 24H2 has a bug that can gimp the CPU Performance. High Performance power plan in Windows R23 score 39000. Ultimate Power Plan 40500. Has no issues maxing out a 7800XT You need to use CMD as admin to unlock the Hidden Ultimate Performance Power Plan. Google it faster at multicore than my 7970X3D and just as fast at lower resolution gaming.

- Fast, super fast, very fast. - Worked out of the box. - Insane number of cores.

Easy install in my new build. Very fast, seems to stay cool. No glitches.


Fast Efficient

Chip performance is solid for a 12th generation processor, this cpu will do well for gaming and anything I throw at it. Have it installed on an Asrock Z690 Phantom Gaming 4 motherboard which I am happy with. Lots of options and easy bios configuration and setup.
