Pros & Cons
Pros
It works on low settings on some games like hng from 2016 and gets between 52 fps and 60 fps.
This is the best processor i have ever owned. Get really corey with it. And the cooler. Thats very good.
The 5900x is an excellent bargain if you don't need to go with am5. At the moment this 5900x draws 100 watts total system draw on writing this review.
If the air cooler is to much pressed onto the cpu i got 67 degrees celsius on idle - adjusted right and spread nice the thermalpaste with an spatula. The only cons is that it does heat up quick despite a third-party 140w tdp tower cooler no matter wha... Read More
Cons
Keeps shutting down during windows installation and rebooting over and over again. Checked different combination of ram dimm slots still same problem. Replacing the processor finally stopped the crashes. Thermal paste all over the chip with fingerprin... Read More
Highlights
Quality
High quality 3200 mhz sticks for relatively cheap.
Not much to say, i love the processor, works great, does great in gaming.
I had problems with the 64gb of new ram that i installed my pc from booting normally.
I recommend this board for the am4 system but be aware of the cheating pcie slot advertisement, the sound problems and the rath... Read More
Price
Lol nowadays the price is a steal, if i were building a new system, i would buy this processor again.
This is the best processor i have ever owned and the price is just too good to pass.
5950x has like four more threads but the difference in cost isn't worth it.
But the price is about 2 times as much and the power draw is 4 times more.
Shipping
It works and is fast and came as desribed.
All my programs work much faster and basic tasks like backing up my hard drive now go lightening fast.
Packaging/appearance
It is a good strong board with 2 massive coolers on the mosfets.
This motherboard worked straight out of the box.
It has to fit gentle and not with all body weight put that cooler onto the am4 system.
No manuals and little packaging, but came with the original box and plastic.
Competitiveness
Upgraded from a ryzen 5 and runs all my applications and games with ease.
I upgraded from a first-generation ryzen 7 1700 to this third-gen 9 5900x 12 core.
These am4 snap over clip cooler assemblies sometimes need a bit adjustment (unscrew it from the cooler and flatten the bendings... Read More
Pair’d up with kryonaut grizzly thermal paste and a corsair aio this cpu stayed optimal and barley lowers performance when getting hotter.
