Easy to set up, love that AM5 has a built-in backplate on the motherboards so I don't have to buy a separate one. Shipping was fast and 'egg was the only retailer I found with any stock.

-Super fast, coming from a 3700x, this is a superb upgrade. -Uses next gen DDR5. -Very tunable, have been using PBO and curve optimizer -30 and this thing screams! -Pins on the motherboard, not the CPU anymore, no more bent pins or CPU stuck to the cooler when removing it from the socket like on AM4!!

Runs very well. Some games had a higher than expected FPS boost.

This thing is fast, with the fixes in December its going to improve it further. Coming from a 6700k that was extremely bottleneck it is nice not having that issue now. It was well package for shipping which is appreciated. It handled V color Cudimm 8800 gear 2 with no issue



FAST, and just as high performing as AMD at 4k/Ultra which is why you would buy this CPU, that and productivity apps. A little more cost effective than AMD equivalents. SLEEPER PERFORMER: influencers and enthusiasts have claimed bad performance, but it's not true when properly tuned. RAM of 8800+ MT's speeds are easily achievable/stable.

16 core 32 threats. Powerful and less power demand.
