AMD Ryzensets 7 5700X Processor (8 cores/16 threads, 65W DTP, Socket AM4, 36 MB cache, up to 4.6 GHz max boost, no cooler)

This is a great price for this CPU, and a serious contender if you're going to be buying a discrete GPU and building your own PC. Ryzen 7 5700X offers great base speeds with lots of cache on 8 cores, and will happily accept some tweaking and overclocking. Some folks have worried about CPU bottlenecking with higher-end GPUs, but this works very well with a 7900XTX, and bottlenecking is only going to be an issue with huge GPU demand and a lot of back-end processes or demand placed on the CPU. Cyberpunk 2077 in 4k at 200fps? Easy. This is a GREAT mid-range CPU, and the L3 cache (one of AMD's cornerstones) is the same as most of the 7000 series Ryzen processors. However, with it not being a flagship model, most lower- and many mid-ranged motherboards may not support the chip straight out of the box. But don't let that deter you..... If you opt for a motherboard like mine (MSI) and face a similar issue - needing to update firmware/BIOS - don't worry. Follow the video guides on YouTube and in manuals and you'll be fine. But remember: format a new, small USB2 drive in FAT32, Google is your friend for this and for checking a partition is MBR (if you're very particular), download the exact version of BIOS required, and rename the file AND extension as directed. If you then boot from a Windows Installation Media drive, you'll get a fresh install of Windows without any bloatware or rootkits from any device manufacturer! Very easy to install - be gentle and cautious (and consider an antistatic wristband), line up the triangles, and don't force anything. Stability is a proven strength, and Ryzen Master is a good monitoring tool; the CPU voltage remains constant after idling for several hours with core temperature peaking at 30°C. Make sure you apply the thermal paste evenly, making sure to avoid leaving a blank spot. Appearance-wise? It's a chip. In an unnecessarily large box. Clean install of Windows 11 and up-and-running in less than an hour. Don't forget this chip DOESN'T HAVE INTEGRATED GRAPHICS AND DOESN'T COME WITH A STOCK COOLER, but let the CPU do CPU things and invest in a GPU of your choice. Plus, if you're opting for a CPU without integrated graphics, you'll probably be doing something with the cooling, right? As others have said (and this review highlighted previously), there must be some issue with the Amazon/seller/logistics/delivery process. I had multiple notifications about updates to tracking, but nothing informative on the Amazon platform. I was told, multiple times, that it had been dispatched, or tracking information was available, which did cause me some distress and confusion when seeing other reviews. I strongly suspect there's some issue between the vendor's platform, Amazon, tracking/delivery service, and how their systems speak to each other.

It works perfect with 5060 Ti, doesn't create a bottleneck. High compatibility with MSI tomahawk B550 wifi, 5060Ti. Low temperature, good thermal durability

A good company and a good product. Easy to install. I installed a gaming computer with RTX graphics and two monitors on it. It works without a problem. I can only recommend it.

I recently built a gaming PC for my son using the AMD Ryzen 7 5700X Processor, and it has exceeded our expectations. With 8 cores and 16 threads, this processor delivers outstanding performance for gaming and multitasking. The 65W TDP ensures it runs efficiently without overheating, even during intense gaming sessions. The 36 MB cache and up to 4.6 GHz max boost provide lightning-fast speeds, making gameplay incredibly smooth and responsive. While it doesn't come with a cooler, we paired it with a high-quality aftermarket cooler, and it has worked perfectly. The compatibility of the Ryzen 7 5700X with the AM4 socket made the installation straightforward and hassle-free. Plus, the value for money is exceptional – we're getting high-end performance at a competitive price point. My son has been thrilled with the performance of his new gaming PC. It handles all the latest games with ease and offers excellent frame rates and graphics quality. I highly recommend the AMD Ryzen 7 5700X Processor to anyone looking to build a reliable gaming rig.

At only 65w TDP this CPU is over twice as fast as my 2700X which is 105w TDP and is twice as fast as the intel 8700K Most people would agree that the 5700X is the CPU to choose over the 5700X3D due to being able to achieve higher clock speeds and having much lower temperatures in operation. mines running at stock clocks at an amazing 1.22v with no extra load line calibration (LLC) it auto boosts all cores to 4.65GHz and stays there until the load drops. Its also worth noting that it has twice the L3 cache of the 2700X and its L1 cache is 2.5X faster I havent played about with the infinity cache yet but im using 3600MHz corsair RGB ram so it should be set to 1800MHz Im using a cheap CPU cooler with a center 92mm Fan and its never going over 65C Got mine running on an MSI B550M VDH motherboard with an MSI 5700XT MECH graphics card, i couldnt be happier, its running lightning fast. In a nutshell, intel have had their day, their cpus are dying very quickly (degradation) this has never happened to me with any AMD processor. My 2700X is still perfect and was purchased in 2019, its been running daily since june 2019 without a single problem.

Great performance for the price Good performance for a budget price. Runs cool with good temperatures and handles games and multitasking easily. Very happy with this upgrade perfect for anyone building a mid-range PC without spending too much.

I've bought quite a few of these to upgrade aging Ryzen 2000/3000 processors. There's a significant IPC bump (~15%) from Ryzen 3700 to 5700, and even bigger against 2700. And the older 3600 6-cores benefit from an additional 33% more cores. These chips have breathed life into my ageing AM4 platforms (mine and friends and family). They are fast enough to feed 7800XT graphics cards playing 4K games. Their 65w power rating means they have been able to drop in for old 6-core CPUs without having to upgrade PSU. All-round budget-friendly and "fast enough" for all normal usage and the majority of 1080p and 1440p gaming (and quite a lot of Big-TV couch multiplayer games at 4K). Highly recommended !

Best cpu per dollar , also got it on a huge discount

I bought this because it supports ECC, too bad there's no onboard graphics so you need to buy a cheap GPU.

Replaced my Ryzen 3 3100, on a Asus B550 am motherboard, difference noticeable

Really like this cpu for my set up

Great product!
