The price floored me at $199 with Uncharted for free and it replaced my 3700x on an MSI X470 Gaming Plus board, everything worked out great for me with free shipping and maybe good hour doing the change out. My factory Cooler Master RGB that came with the 3700x in the box in 2019 work perfect on the 5700x and I just needed to update paste with Corsair XTM50 and download MSI Center newer software with User Scenario and put Cooler in Extreme Preformance Mode for gaming or running benchmarks and it does fine and will boost for you. Likes to Olyo OWL RGB 3600 CL 18 memory I already had installed and has given no issues!

I hit 45000 on cpu benchmark Huge difference compared to my old Ryzen5 5600g

Works great, fast, better than anything before it, defiantly better than AMD Ryzpoogen.

- Cheap - Meet requirements of pretty much everything

-Very, very fast. -Best CPU for gaming -Top contender for production -Runs cooler than previous X3D variations due to cache on bottom of silicon. -Can overclock or undervolt. -Improved Windows support to designate core parking compared to 7950x3d -Oh, and its VERY FAST!

Big perf leap from 8700K No more stutters in BF2042

W11 Compliant Works in ROG Crosshair Hero VI

Draws about 210 watts friends Intel next level down 336 watts

- A good starting point for mid-tier builds - Supports DDR4 and DDR5 memory speeds - Inexpensive


8 cores clocked at 4.2GHz

Went from Zen 1 APU to Zen 3 dedicated CPU. Prolly the best 200 bucks I ever spent. I saw a jump in frames on Star Citizen (cpu dependant game) of at least 20-30 frames.


Extremely fast processor for single and multi threaded workloads.

-Fast for web browsing. Especially watching livestreams like Twitch.tv and Youtube. -Faster than I thought for gaming -Runs cool with water cooling

Nice upgrade from an i7-7700k Put it on a Gigabyte Aorus Elite X wifi7 (NOT Recommended if your on Win 10 - NO DRIVERS AVAILABLE!) Using a LIAN LI Galahad II Trinity Performance 360 sports me 30c idle temps. Max temp hit 86c after 10 mins with Cine23. Game temps around 50/55c. Case: Lancool 216RX Black Steel

Not only has my FPS and overall gaming performance improvedespecially in older titles like World of WarcraftI went against popular opinion and sold my underwhelming AMD system, upgrading to this one. I originally aimed for the 270K, but when it sold out, this model popped back in stock, and I decided to take the chance. I run multiple LLMs, game, stream, do light video editing, and experiment with AI and video generationbasically a little bit of everything. I already had a 5080 and 64GB of RAM, but wowthis machine is a beast. I was worried Id lose 1015% performance, and in some games I did lose about 5%, but what truly matters is that I can now use my PC however I wanteven while gaming. No more shutting down my LLMs just to play casually. The best part? My 1% lows jumped up massivelyby around 35% in MMOs. Thats far more important to me than raw FPS. No more micro-stutters, OBS crashes, or rubberbanding. I used to spend hours tweaking settings just to get games good enough to enjoyand I always felt I fell short. Im not claiming to be a hardware guru, just a hobbyist whos built PCs for over a decade (RIP 1080 Ti). Long story short: if youre chasing every last frame and dont care about AI, 1% lows, or multitasking, this is an incredible bargain at $200.

-Able to play everything I've thrown at it for 1080p gaming. -Haven't had any issues with overheating or throttling - AMD drivers have been good and the software works well for turning on FSR and different profiles for each game.

- Super fast processor from intel. This is a great deal

Cheap Powerful 75w for power super nice
