Customer reviews
Write a reviewWorks as described - The product worked as it was described and woke my system up
not good at multitasking - i wouldn't recommend this for gaming its more for server side work etc. this is opinion
Cheaper than a 5950 for equal performance - This is a revision of the 5900X CPU with 4 more cores and 12 more threads. It is basically a 5950X but for cheaper. If you are still running AM4 and youre looking to upgrade, this is a top pick. AMD processors are of the highest quality and this little guy doesnt fall behind. Perfect for budget work stations as you're still getting 16 core - 32 threads and runs on DDR4 so you dont have to worry about the over-inflated DDR5 RAM prices! Make sure to pair it with a water cooler for better performance
Holds its own - Performance is strong especially in gaming (well as good as AM4 can get without spending alot more for an x3d chip). Highly recommended
Powerful - Installation was as hard as you expected to be pretty fast and pretty good overall
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent CPU Upgrade for AM4 - I upgraded my PC with the AMD Ryzen 9 5900XT and the performance difference is incredible. The processor is extremely fast, responsive, and handles everything I throw at it without any issues. Gaming performance is smooth, multitasking feels effortless, and productivity tasks like video editing and rendering are much faster now. Installation was simple on my AM4 motherboard, and the CPU runs very stable. The boost clocks are impressive, and the 16-core / 32-thread setup gives plenty of power for both gaming and heavy workloads. Temperatures are also reasonable with a good cooler. For the price, this was an amazing upgrade and definitely one of the best options for anyone staying on the AM4 platform. Highly recommended for gamers, creators, and power users.
Still impressive AM4 in 2026 - Upgrading from my Ryzen 7 3700 to this Ryzen 9 5900XT was honestly one of the biggest real-world PC upgrades I’ve experienced in a long time. I expected a noticeable improvement, but I was genuinely surprised by just how dramatic the performance jump ended up being across almost everything I do. The Ryzen 7 3700 was still a solid processor and handled gaming well enough, so I debated for a while whether upgrading on the AM4 platform would really be worth it. After using this CPU for a while now, I can confidently say it absolutely was. The difference in overall system responsiveness was immediately noticeable the moment I booted into Windows. Applications open faster, multitasking feels effortless, and heavier workloads that used to make my system feel slightly sluggish now barely register. Everything just feels smoother and more immediate. Gaming performance has been especially impressive. Frame rates are higher and much more stable, particularly in CPU-heavy games and large open-world titles. I also noticed a significant improvement in frame pacing and overall smoothness, especially when multitasking while gaming. I can now have browsers, background apps, monitoring software, and other programs running without feeling like I’m sacrificing performance. What really impressed me though is how capable this processor is for productivity tasks. The jump from 8 cores to 16 cores and 32 threads makes a huge difference when working with demanding applications. Video rendering, compression tasks, multitasking, and other heavier workloads are dramatically faster now. This CPU absolutely tears through anything I throw at it. Another huge benefit is that this upgrade allowed me to extend the life of my AM4 platform instead of completely rebuilding my system. I was able to keep my motherboard and DDR4 memory while still getting a massive performance increase. Considering how expensive full platform upgrades can become once you factor in a new motherboard, DDR5 RAM, and everything else, this felt like an incredibly smart upgrade path. Thermals have also been surprisingly manageable for such a powerful processor. Paired with a good cooler, temperatures have stayed very reasonable even under heavier loads. The processor boosts aggressively when needed but also idles down nicely when the system isn’t under stress. Installation was straightforward as well. After a BIOS update on my motherboard, the processor dropped right in and worked perfectly. No weird compatibility problems or instability issues. AMD has done a great job keeping AM4 viable for so long, and upgrades like this are exactly why people appreciate the platform. I also appreciate how well this CPU pairs with modern GPUs. I upgraded my graphics card recently as well, and this processor has no trouble keeping up. It feels like a really balanced high-end setup now without bottlenecking performance. Overall, this CPU completely exceeded my expectations. The performance increase from the Ryzen 7 3700 was enormous and instantly noticeable in both gaming and productivity. If you’re already on AM4 and looking for a major upgrade without rebuilding your entire PC, this processor is an incredible option. It honestly made my system feel brand new again.
A good upgrade - Upgraded from a more gaming central cpu to this one due to bottlenecks and stutters in some of my games and the difference was astronomical.
Running slow? Get a new CPU and watch your PC glow - Upgrade to this CPU and it worked out great..games are faster..applications run smooth...Love it
Awesome! - Fantastic upgrade for my pc. Wasn't sure my computer had the capacity to run this technology but I built a beast!
Loved it - A real improvement on my gaming experience. Wish I did it sooner, instead of going through the mechanical break down.
Great upgrade - I bought this to replace my older generation CPU. Work perfectly.
Amazing buy for high fps gaming - Excellent cpu. Swapped from Intel and haven’t looked back. Genuinely one of the best cpus I’ve had. Running this with a 5060 on low gets me 300-400 fps in most standard titles / comp shooters.
Cream of the crop - Great quality product I would purchase it again. Also has a 3-year warranty through through the box company itself
Fast amd - Got this cpu because of doing an budget build run fast.
Rtzen 9 CPU - Excellent product! would highly recommend this to any AM4 builds.
Excellent All-Around Performance for AM4 - Works great for gaming and productivity! I couldn’t be happier with my purchase!
Very good upgrade option for AM4 platform - Final uodate option for my AM4 X570 motherboard. Works as expected. Still working on bios tweaks for optimal permormance
Ramshshhvdbdhd - The customer service was very poor. They didn’t provide any help and closed the chat.
