Review on AMD Ryzen 7 5800X Desktop Processor - 8-Core, 16-Thread Unlocked by John Baker

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Beast CPU on CPU Processors

I ordered it about a week ago. At the time, Revain had an estimated delivery date of January 10, but arrived early on November 21. This is a huge upgrade for me and I can tell the difference when playing games at 1080p. My old Ivy Bridge processor was the bottleneck for my graphics card. I am pleased to report that the temperature is good. Sits between 30-40C when idling and rarely exceeds 60-70C when gaming. I cool it with Noctua NH-U12S. I was able to overclock to 4.9GHz with Ryzen Master's automatic overclocking. I'll try manual OC as soon as I have more time. Highly recommend if you want to build now and it fits your budget/needs. To be honest I would recommend any AMD 5000 series processor you can get your hands on based on this processor.

Pros
  • Pleasant to use
Cons
  • Weak set
