-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

Fast and reliable

Best cpu for gaming Did I mention fast? Options to pair with ddr5 memory Fast?


Bought this CPU as part of a new PC build. It arrived quickly and in perfect condition. Installation was smooth, and after running Intel's diagnostic tool and using it for a few days, everything is running stable and as expected. Very happy with the product and would buy from this merchant again. This was the 3rd processor I purchased for this build, the first two being duds from rhymes with gleebay. I will never do that again. Zero hassles and it just worked.

Nice APU, and it's great to have a backup in case the main GPU dies.

Works great, great price, fast shipping, actually received what is shown.

Has no problem with daily computing. I seldom have time for games so not the source for that kind of info.

Faster than my old Ryzen 1600

works well on a asus rog b760f with the supplied orbital fan. AI3 software runs in low power mode and turbos with game applications and stays under 78c average with a top down blower fan

-Based on Gamer's Nexus graphs, for $265 this has great .1% lows meaning very consistent frame time consistency. -Works with my existing ASRock Z690m-ITX MB (weak VRM, still okay) Saw a 30% - 40% increase to framerates in games with any CPU bottlenecking (Baldur's Gate 3) -Undervolts (-60mv) and Powerlimits (110W) without losing performance in gaming scenarios -Able to run memory at 3600MTs with 15-21-21-39 timings thanks to a better Integrated Memory Controller (IMC) compared with my previous 12400. -avoids the 13 & 14th gen Intel potential degradation.

System's motherboard BIOS was updated to the 2024 release. There was a different processor in the MB (A520M PRO) at the time. Ryzen 3 was installed and no issues with start-up. Although, it booted a few times to make adjustments. As a general desktop, the system flies. It is being used to write this review.



I was reluctant to purchase a used CPU but this "Refurbished" product did say in the listing that it was an open box and unused product. The Ryzen 5800X3D is not longer in production and it is the fastest CPU that will use the AM4 socket in my existing motherboard. It arrived in a little over two weeks to Charleston SC. The CPU was packaged in the same plastic case that usually comes in the retail box. It was heavily bubble wrapped and sent in a plastic bag type package. It arrived undamaged and appeared to be in brand new condition. It dropped easily into my AM4 socket and the locking arm close easily as well indicating no bent pins. I had updated the bios in motherboard since the 5800X3D was introduced well after I had set it up originally. The bios did recognize the new CPU and the only bios change I needed to make was to activate the XMP setting for my DDR4 3200 memory. I've been using the PC for a few weeks now and everything is working well. I have my bios set to use auto overclocking and CPUID has indicated that I have gotten as high as the advertised 4.5 GHz core speed when needed so I would recommend this product and supplier.

Great for most tasks and workloads Descent offering for the price
