Absolute monster.

Picked this up right as it launched. PBTech delayed the shipment to the 30th which was a bum, but guess what? 13th November (a week after purchasing) I get an email, your order has been shipped. Next day, it's here. Shoutout to PBTech.

The CPU is insane. 2nd best CPU in the world and arguably the best for specific things. I got this so I can game, stream, and produce music and I won't have to upgrade for years. Upgrading from a Ryzen 5 2600 to this has been a huge step up, I love it.

No complaints or issues. This baby is craaaaazy!

Better Value than 5800x

Are you looking for the review that justifies getting 5900x instead of 5800x? You came in the right review.

This absolute unnecessary monster here to steal your money but fear not, this is much better value than 5800x. Wait what? You're telling me you don't need all those extra cores?
Welp, you will absolutely regret it when you finally need those extra cores because why?
I've seen MANY people, especially the type of "NORMAL" users on their laptop who got everything OPEN/STARTING at windows startup and wonder why their computers are slow.
This monster got 24 threads and even though you got 24 apps running on startup, it will absolutely ...view more

Overkill but amazing

Upgraded to this from an i7 5820k Overclocked at 4.3Ghz.

Intel may have been clinging onto having the better CPUs for years, but now AMD have absolutely thrashed them in every respect.
Price, Performance, AMD is now the king.

It's completely over the top for what I need it for, but I don't care.
It's the best thing out there aside from the 5950X for gaming and productivity, and seeing 24 boxes on task manager is just oh so nice.

Paired up with an RTX 2080 and running games at 1440P 144hz
It also cut down my video render times by a huge margin.

Amazing performace for the price.

I have a 3900x in another build and can honestly say the 5900x just feels more responsive. Completes all the tasks I through at it with ease. Photoshop, Lightroom, Video encoding. Even tried some ESXI and Proxmox for Virtual Machine testing. Just love this chip. And when I need to relax and just play some games its a dream.

You wont be lacking for performance

If you are gaming only, this is probably overkill, but if you are doing rendering, streaming etc, you cant go wrong with this powerhouse.

Wicked Fast

This CPU handles everything thrown at it, apps are open before lifting my finger up from the mouse click.
Allowed me to overclock my memory by a further 600MHz from the clock on the last CPU.
Partnered with the latest Rog Strix and a Samsung 980 pro drive this thing flies

A super CPU upgrade at a nice price

Intel's 12th gen LGA1200 i7 and i9 may have snatched back the lead in some performance metrics, but the Ryzen 9 5900x is a better proposition when you look at total cost to own/operate. Compatible AM4 boards start around $115 ($315 for LGA1200), and the Ryzen 9 will stay below 140W electricity consumption (i9 12900K will draw as much as 240W, adding to your power bill). The Ryzen 9 performs well with single-threaded tasks, but exceptionally well with multi-threaded ones -my Ryzen 9 system runs a fairly new desktop Linux distribution (Kubuntu 21.10), and overall desktop performance is super snappy, but as many apps are multi-thread capable the...view more

Incredible! 12 Cores at over 5ghz!

Running great with 32gb 3600CL16 memory, the 3700X it replaced could not sustain 3600CL16 with any undervolting applied.
Runs cooler than the 3700X whilst destroying it in performance.
PBO that reaches 5.125ghz on 1 or two core without changing any other settings! 4.7ghz all core boost too.

Literally nothing better for the cost right now. Can't recommend this any more

Probably the best higher end CPU for Dec 2020/Jan 2021

If you want a higher end CPU with all the threads this is probably the better 'value' than the 5950X. Unless you need the extra cores of a 5950X, this thing handles everything well. I can play Cyberpunk while having a bunch of other things going on at the same time with no issues.

Best of all worlds

What can you really say besides its a 4.8Ghz 12 core 24 thread CPU that's power efficient.

If you want one of the best cpu's for gaming and productivity, look no further.

Overkill but oh so sweet

I run multiple programs at once and do a bit of VR gaming with ease. have not been able to get this CPU over 60 degrees or 30% load even with 4k everything and so much open at once.
