AMD Ryzen 7 5700X 8-Core, 16-Thread Unlocked Desktop Processor

Installation is easy enough, depending on how much of a pain your CPU cooler is. Considering the power usage (and how hard it is to get a Zen 3 X3D processor), this might be the best value on AM4 at the moment.Idle power is generally around 2 to 6 watts, although when pushed, the chip is happy to use around 105 to 110 watts, just like a 5800X. Generally, it should run much cooler, more of the time, than a 5800X, even with relatively inexpensive air coolers. 65 watts of TDP is not much, so any cooler should run more quietly on this than on a 5800X -even after using Ryzen Master and its curve optimizer for a little extra speed.It's not the fastest gaming CPU on AM4, of course, but at half the price of the 5700X3D, it's the better value. I'd definitely recommend this over the 5600X, because no amount of overclocking can replace the two extra cores for multitasking purposes.Also, take note: those of you looking for something in this product range should NOT buy the Ryzen 7 5700 without the X, if the two CPUs are around the same price. The 5700X has double the L3 cache. I almost made that mistake before doing a little extra research.

Works great! First time upgrading my CPU myself. That being so, I naively forgot to check my BIOS version to see if it was supported. I have a ASRock B450 K4 Gaming motherboard, so if you do too, or have a motherboard just as old or older, check if the BIOS supports it, or at least if it needs to be updated to do so (even if it has the same CPU slot, it necessarily doesn't mean it'll support newer AM4 cards...something I was reminded of the hard way.)This is all by no means relevant to how the product works, but the saga of my experience goes as follows: So, I installed it, got in a boot loop, realized my mistake of not updating the BIOS. So I had to uninstall the CPU, grab my old CPU. Then realize my old AMD CPU was stuck to the heatsink...now I have to spend 45 minutes melting the old CPU's thermal paste with a hair dryer (something I vowed never to do...but, desperate times...), put it back in my motherboard after finally getting it off, get extremely frustrated trying to install the new heatsink I bought over my old CPU cause the screws weren't lining up, haul it back to my desk and plug all my cables back in when I finished, look up what BIOS version I needed, find a USB drive that was actually FAT32, download the file, boot to BIOS and do the Instant Flash, wait for 10 minutes, praying that the power didn't go out and fry my motherboard...then when it was finally done I got into YET ANOTHER boot loop after the BIOS was updated. I then was panicked that the update indeed DID fry my motherboard. But, then I AGAIN had to unplug my pc and haul it to my other table to work on it..try and get to my CMOS battery to reset the BIOS, but in order to get to it I had to unscrew and take out my brand new GPU, then I take the CMOS out for a few minutes, put it back in, then install the new CPU as well to see if the new version just didn't support the old CPU...boot it up, pray it'll work, but it still didn't show anything on the screen, but I don't hear my drive and fans turning on and off anymore. Then I realize that it finally DID work, but in the end I just forgot to plug the PCIE power cable back into my GPU, which is why my monitor didn't show anything... ROOKIE MISTAKE. I LOVE computers :,)But, the moral of the story is, this is a great CPU. Runs great, doesn't overheat. And after everything I got a nice boost in performance from my old CPU (R5 3600), and now it shouldn't bottleneck my GPU when I upgrade to a 1440p monitor. Just don't be dumb like me. Or as naive as I was to think it would be a seamless process to upgrade my CPU. I love you, AMD. <3

I recently upgraded from a ryzen 5 3600 to a ryzen 7 5800XT. Wasn't satisfied with how much performance I was getting while using 50%+ more power than the 5700X. Nexus has compared these chips and there is literally only a 1-5% difference at max that I guarantee you won't even notice unless your really really really picky. Less power, less heat, longer lifespan not only on the chip but motherboards and coolers. I'm not saying the ryzen 7 5800X and XT aren't good but the 5700X gives near identical performance using half the power of the 5800 family. Best value overall. I had no issues installing or with thermals.Update - One thing I forgot to mention is shipping. I was very close to returning and buying again because my package was half opened but the chip and the original packaging it comes with wasn't damaged. Shipping was faster than expected even without prime shipping. I will say for a computer part, A CPU! The packaging isn't secure, very little protection but somehow still ended up on my doorstep undamaged. My luck I guess, just a little mention.

Me impresionó que es un procesador económico y es muy rápido. Lo uso para trabajo, diseño y gaming. Va súper genial, hago multiples cosas y no consumo mucho del procesador. La temperatura es genial no calienta mucho, lo acompaño con un diseñador be quiero y va súper fresco.Muchos youtubers lo integran en sus configuraciones, el tiempo me dió la razón.

Excelente rendimiento y temperaturas. La caja llegó un poco abollads pero todo en orden. Totalmente recomendado para quienes aún estamos en AM4.Precaución adicional, al no incluir disipación se recomienda una buena solución por aire. A pesar de tener solo 65w de TDP calienta bastante estando a tope

Great with the Rtx 4060 ti I’m getting around 600fps in creative on performance mode and 200-300 in game and on dx12 all epic settings I’m getting 90-130 in game and 300 in creative

Amazing CPU for gaming and editing, decent clock speeds from stock, pretty easy to tune, just don't get it because the 12600kf is better value currently.

Its a good cpu upgrading from the 5600g to the 5700x had a good improvement on my fps by around 30 percent especially in games like valorant where its more cpu heavy. While the cpu is pretty good you can get a 5800xt on here for like 10 dollars less than the 5700x but the 5800xt does draw almost double the power for a very small performance boost.
