Review on Renewed AMD Ryzen 9 5900X Desktop Processor - 12 Cores, 24 Threads, Unlocked by Ada Marciniak ᠌

Revainrating 5 out of 5

The quality is top notch, be sure to try it.

I got the CPU in OEM configuration. In a multi-threaded load, the cores go out at 4.5 GHz, in a single-threaded load at 4950 MHz. All this under a Noctua NH-U14S air cooler, but the system is noisy. You need to lower the voltage, or switch to LSS. The processors are quite hot. In games, the temperature, as a rule, reaches 72 degrees. If you add a stream to this, it reaches 80 degrees. FCLK has only submitted to 1900 MHz so far. Memory 1:1, that is 3800MHz@15-15-15-15-30 1T. (You can also use 3800@14, but the memory asks for 1.55v, I didn’t leave it. ASUS B550-E GAMING board). It would be great to raise FCLK to 2022 MHz, but I don’t see much point. And so fantastically fast! In general, very satisfied! Feel free to ask questions, I'll try to answer as best I can.

Pros
  • On duty, I dealt with AMD Ryzen processors of all generations, and despite their advantages: long-playing socket, number of cores, loyal pricing policy of the manufacturer, thermal interface, and many others. I always chose intel for myself. Cause? Stable and predictable work in all, without exception, applications, coupled with maximum performance in games. Yes, in certain professional applications they lagged behind due to the smaller number of cores, but not so much as to sacrifice speed in everyday, multimedia tasks. However, AMD did not stand still, and if the first two generations caused me nothing more than bewilderment (the products were frankly raw), then after working with the third Ryzen, I was satisfied with the processors. However, there was no desire to purchase one for myself. But with the release of Zen 3, the situation changed and I bought the 5900x. Impression: Quick. Faster than 9900K@5Ghz with 4400@17 memory, which is what I switched from to 5900x. Moreover, it is faster everywhere, starting with the banal installation of Windows, unpacking archives and installing programs, ending with games and a software package from Adobe, where Intel has always been ahead. There is no need to use monitoring and benchmarks to catch the difference. Visible to the eye! There is no need to talk about 12 cores and what they are capable of, and so it is clear. In games, which I did not expect at all, smoothness was added. And those who are afraid to buy AMD because of the high latency of the memory subsystem have nothing to worry about. I play Quake, Quake Champions and COD: MW 2022 on a 240hz monitor and I can say the responsiveness is great. Feels even faster than on the intel system. FPS sky-high. At medium and low settings, everything rests on the 2080 Super.
Cons
  • Heat dissipation and unpolished BIOS for motherboards. Many people experience problems with falling off USB ports (can be cured by disabling the Global C-States option in the BIOS) and errors when raising the FCLK above 1600 MHz. But all this will soon be corrected by the new AGESA.
