Low temps, high fps



Went in perfectly first attempt, posted first attempt. No mobo flash was needed.


Low heat. Decent Overclock

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

Maintains a reliable lower temperature than its competition in i9 14900k series from Intel. Most of the benchmarks outperform the i9 14900k but some do not. For the most part I really enjoy having the AMD Ryzen 9 flagship CPU in my system. The memory bandwidth is nearly double that of the i9 14900 with 6000MHz memory versus the Intel CPU running 7200MHz memory.

Best processor gaming

- Easy to cool with 240 liquid cooler - Runs any games easily with RTX 4090 - Compatible with my old Z790 motherboard after an easy BIOS update - Productivity tasks are now a little faster due to more CPU cores - Non-K CPUs are amazing, most people by far do not need overclocking

Quick and not too expensive

New generation AM5 socket with Great performance and an upgrade path. Upgraded from I5 9400f so the fps boost in games was significant. Very affordable especially on sales and great price to performance.

a bit snappier than the older ryzen 7 5700x i had.

Quick and Clean

24 cores at this price in unreal. The other guys give you 6 and 8 cores for this price lol. Boots fast, and breezes through everything I throw at it without a hitch. Gaming and multi tasking are a dream. CPU runs very cool despite being a multicore beast. Compatible with my older AIO, no need for any adapters, just worked. New Intel APO and IBT features are cool, but hope they support them long term. Overclocks really, really well. I am running at E cores at 5.1Ghz, P cores at 5.6Ghz and D2D at 4.0Ghz, Cache at 4.1GHz, and NGU at 3.4Ghz. These are well above stock, and it has zero issues. Tuned my DRAM to 8667 CL38 and get huge bandwidth and low latency now.

Fit like a glove into ASRock B450M/AC R2.0 AM4 AMD Promontory B450 SATA 6Gb/s Micro ATX AMD Motherboard Performs well - comes with some heat trasfer ... very quite fan ..

-Loads of P-cores and E-cores -High clock speeds -Plays any video game or task I throw at it like its nothing. Chews it up and spits it out

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.

- 8 cores / 16 threads! Awesome. Big upgrade from my Ryzen 5 2600x AND it consumes less power while performing better! - I didn't have to get a new motherboard. All I needed was a BIOS update and I was good to go. I am running it on the B450 AORUS PRO WIFI. Although I do plan on upgrading motherboards in the future so I can utilize PCIE 4.0 - I have noticed the improvement in everyday tasks. Everything is snappier. Gaming is greatly improved. I upgraded to the Ryzen 7 5700X and RTX 3060 12 GB from the Ryzen 5 2600X and GTX 1660 SUPER. So there is a noticeable increase in performance in gaming and everyday tasks which I am super pleased with! - It runs really cool and its quiet. I never have to worry about it getting hot. But I have to thank my Cooler Master Hyper 212 RGB BE for that. - Cinebench scores obviously improved. Which makes me very happy. - Great CPU for the price point. This lands right in the middle and still performs amazing. I was looking at the 5800X3D, 5800X and the 5700G. I feel I made the right choice with the budget I was on.

Overclocking is awesome!
