The CPU can fluctuate between 3.4GHz and 5.0GHz, but it will get hot (60-90 degrees Celsius). I stress tested it with AMD Ryzen Master and it performs well while not exceeding 90 degrees. My BIOS settings default to overclocking so I have to tweak the settings (ex. after a BIOS update). I disabled Precision Boost Overdrive and set the CPU Core Ratio at 3.4GHz, which is its base clock speed, wherefor the temperature gets between 40 and 50 degrees Celsius. I prefer a lower CPU temperature as opposed to overclocking. Liquid cooling is required, in my case being the ASUS TUF Gaming LC 120 ARGB which was a solid choice for my build, looks totally awesome.I upgraded from a Ryzen 7 3700X with a Wraith Prism. The computer ran just fine with 8 cores, but altogether it performs better and feels much more complete. Full system startup in 30-45 seconds. UserBenchmark places this CPU at the 80th percentile; “With a good single core score, this CPU can easily handle the majority of general computing tasks. Additionally this processor can handle intensive workstation, and even full-fledged server workloads. Finally, with a gaming score of 80%, this CPU’s suitability for 3D gaming is very good.” ~ UserBenchmarkI monitor my clock speed and CPU temperature with the software Core Temp.Skál.

Amazing CPU at an amazing price. Wanna build a killer system on a relatively modest budget?
I only started building PCs about 7 years ago which was the start of this passing generation.I grumbled and got an Intel i3 8th gen in my first build. Switched to Ryzen 5 3xxx and have been okay for 2 years. I game only a little bit but when the urge comes, it comes strong and always felt my budget-friendly CPUs were just okay at best.I set out wanting to build new generation system when I saw this bad boy below $400 and did something crazy. Build my dream machine from 7 years ago.Under $1000 I have this bad boy along with 128gb of DDR4 ram. This system with its killer CPU is amazing.If you are looking to build a new computer, I think the price of the greatest last gen CPUs along with DDR4 ram being the most affordable it will ever be makes a real compelling option for someone looking to build a kick ass system for around $1000.Its the best value for the money on the market and I think it would keep you happy if you are moderate game for 3-5 years to come. Maybe more.Its a wonderful time indeed.

Fastest 16 core on the market. It is an AM4. Gives Intel a run for their money.
Best damn item AMD has implemented for a Socket AM4 or 5 MB. Pair it with 32 G Vengeance @ 4000 MHZ and a GeForce 1660 Super And a NVMe PCI 16 and no one will be faster. PS, you can cool very effectively with an AMD copper – aluminum Stock cooler.

Excellent processor
Bought this processor to replace my 5900x that had started throwing WHEA errors. Haven’t had any issues with it so far and can compile a 500,000 line c++ application in a few seconds. It runs very hot though so a good cooler/heatsink is necessary. 16 cores is gross overkill for games so if that’s the only reason for buying, you’d be better off getting a 6-8 core cpu.

Easy Installation with instructions, No thermal paste
This chip was an excellent improvement to my previous AMD, and fits into any AM4 socket (perfect for my motherboard). Installation was simple with the provided instructions. The price is excellent for the quality of the chip. I havenât had any issues with temperature. The suggested range is 35 celsius idle and 72 celsius under heavy load. I use fans for cooling and have yet to have break 60 degrees. Performance is unmatched so far, keeps up to speed with my graphics processor on heavy games.

Works perfectly as expected
CPU was used to upgrade an existing AM4 socket mother board. Chip went in without any problems, BIOS requested permission to make security (TPM) changes which it did, chip came up and has been running without any problems.

I love it , works perfectly I am getting over 360 Fps on Forza Motor sports with an a low of only 340fps , and in cyberpunk 2077 I am getting average of 236fps. My Pc specs are :MSI Godlike EATX mother board240gigs of ram ,RedDevil 6950xt gpu2000 watt power supplyMSI GPU water cooler ,,3 82cm screen MSI 4k curved main monitorsBefore when I had just an 8 core CPU I was only getting 200fps on Forza motor sports and only 140fps on Cyberpunk 2077 so this CPU is a power house that is if you have a proper setup ,,,,,,,, The AMD 5850x paired with a RedDevil 6950xt is a match made in heaven

A faulty/defective processor arrived but they gave a swift replacement. Amazon service is one of the world’s best.Believe me this processor is a beat and monstrous.You will definitely need a high tier 240mm or any 360mm Aio.To undervolt the processor go to the Pbo settings set the PBO limits off and curve optimiser to negative and put 10 (start tweaking from here).I am happy from my purchase. Thanks Amazon and seller I was nervous when order turned out to be faulty but they replaced it three days. Thanks
