Cheap, runs great, honestly no issues

This processor is another great upgrade from the older series.

Don't let the massive watts fool you! It is actually sometimes lower or even equal watt to Ryzen 5900x CPUs when playing games! Cooler than even Ryzen CPUs, love my NH-D15!

Going from "cutting edge" 10 yr old technology to this was a nice upgrade!

Paired with CoolerMaster MasterLiquid ML360 Illusion AIO under gaming full specs i dont exceed 80c. anything else dont exceed 50c. I really like the overall performance so far

Awesome communication. Quick and helpful responses. They answered all my questions and provided a wealth of information to get my system up and running. Very professional and knowledgeable. Would buy from again for sure!

I upgraded from a Ryzen 5 3500 and this Processor really rips. It even helped to boost my Video as well.


Tested good, scored 27576 on Passmark benchmark test. Was packaged well. Runs relatively cool for the power it has.


Games run amazing with this processor, running this with a 3070 and 64 gb ram on 1440p ! This processor is great for multi tasking even while gaming! Cant go wrong with it

Upgraded 2020 budget mini ITX build from Ryzen 5 2600. Updated mobo before disassembly. For unknown reason CPU would not register/ black screen, then it magically went to working after I asked for replacement. LOL. Does not come with fan, which I knew. Reused Nomura fan and cooler. Temps very moderate. I also upgraded to an NVMe 1tb ssd, all paired with existing GTX1060 6 GB, 16 GB RAM. Could not be happier. Noticeable difference in speed. Should be good for several more years now. Fast shipping too.

It was choppy preety quick at first with Patriot DDR5 4800(2 x 8GB), a very basic very good RAM. After memtest my ram and turning this machine off and on for a few weeks and trying different spinning hard drives I bought an almost new 4GB western Digital with a 256mb cache. The new hard drive I think smoothed it out and the feel of the computer, response beats my X299 with Platinum 3600 ram. I will not have the move capacity I am guessing, but I am happy I am tring the new platform and keeping this one simple will help as my first small DDR4 broke part way when I plugged in the wrong vidio adaptor. Gone is the run away clock speeds that happened with new DDR4, the guys got this right. As alway, I notice, the just below the top of the line CPU is the best deal for the money. I did try a 12900K with the graphics chip and sold it to keep this one. Thoses graphics chips that are on cpu die I don't think will ever match a video card and I did not like the faster cpu if I used its onboard graphics chip, it was useless. The debt I incured on that cpu, which I sold, went to ram for picking up some old threadripper set up and another old X299.

It smashes my i5 11600k that i had in iracing an now i can upgrade gpu from 4060 to something more high end....

-More cores for media content creation. -The x3d synching of cores, minimizes latency communication between cores of active game code, producing a higher fps without having to upgrade the GPU. Faster boot up time.

- Great for gaming -multithreaded performance is insane -came with farcry 6

It is a little faster than my 13700k (that it replaced). The 13700k replaced a 12700k that I traded in. It has four more p cores, but doesn't get any hotter than the 13700k at 100% load.
