Review on Renewed AMD Ryzen 9 5900X Desktop Processor - 12 Cores, 24 Threads, Unlocked by A Eh Khung ᠌

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Reliable purchase, guaranteed to be a good purchase.

To solve the problem of heating, I began to experiment with overclocking. I found out that a reasonable maximum is 4.5 GHz for all cores at 1.25V. In multi-threaded applications, a small performance gain relative to drain, with reduced power consumption. And in low-threaded applications, the performance, on the contrary, decreased slightly (5%), but the zhor and heating disappeared, which is more important. I was able to overclock to 4.65GHz for all cores as much as possible, but in the Cinebench R23 test, the pace is over 96g and the consumption is close to 300W, which is out of bounds. As a result, I chose a reasonable, sufficient mode and fixed the frequency of all cores at 4.3 GHz, at a voltage of 1.075V. Relative to the drain, the performance fell slightly, so there is enough everywhere, but on the other hand, when all the cores are loaded, the power consumption decreased by 40%, and in low-threaded tasks by as much as 3 times with a corresponding decrease in temperatures. And now - silence and comfort with a conventional air cooling system in any tasks, including toys, which is much more important than performance records. In my opinion, it is not worth doubling power consumption for the sake of a 10% increase in performance.

Pros
  • The gain over my old R7 1700 at 3.7GHz is 2-2.5x as tested in both low-threaded and multi-threaded applications. There is enough performance for everything, and the stock will remain for a long time. A noticeable reduction in time when starting all programs, as well as games. In some very processor-intensive games, performance has increased significantly (Cities Skylines). Most importantly, I didn't have to buy a new motherboard. ated ASrock X370 Taichi BIOS to beta version 6.61 and everything started fine. It itself boosts up to 5GHz per 1 core in stock, overclocking and power saving work. Tests are spinning and passing, stability itself. There are no particular problems. The parrot values ​​in the tests correspond to systems in stock with motherboards based on B550 and X570 chipsets. 4 strips of 8 GB of cheap memory Samsung M378A1K43CB2-CRC wound up on 3200 CL18 at a voltage of 1.2 V did not experiment further.
Cons
  • In stock, with low-threaded or single-threaded loads due to auto-overclocking up to 5GHz, increased power consumption, while the voltage rises to 1.5V, which results in the heating of individual cores and, accordingly, the speed of all fans increases to a maximum, as a result, it starts to strain periodically the resulting noise. Although you launch a browser, at least an undemanding application. I would limit myself to 4.8GHz at 1.35V for 1-2 cores. On the beta BIOS, the PCI-express mode of the video card works at X8 speed instead of X16, but according to comparative tests, there is no difference in games, and this does not negatively affect performance, so it does not matter. Sometimes, when you turn on the computer, the video card is not initialized, and Windows starts in the lowest resolution, but in just a few seconds the video card driver is picked up, and everything becomes normal in native resolution. So, this shortcoming, related to the old mother, is not critical and the same does not affect anything. I didn't notice any other shortcomings.

Its pros: Powerful such, took the OEM version. Everything is fine, the antennae are in place, not scratched. Different cons: Arrived battered (fingerprints) Haven't noticed a difference in power yet.
