AMD Ryzen 9 5950X 16-core, 32-Thread Unlocked Desktop Processor

Programming my Rust and C++ code is so much faster now!

Hated to pay the surcharge but it is a fantastic CPU. Has worked very well. Excellent speed and the two M.2 drives in my motherboard have unimaginably fast response.

My first CPU was riddled with random WHEA_UNCORRECTABLE BSODs and random reboots. After a massive troubleshooting headache I RMAed the CPU to AMD. The replacement is now running perfectly. AMD really needs to get their QC figured out. They seem to have let a lot of bad chips out the door.

Holy hell. Guys, pro tip, learn how to use curve opimizer and Ryzen Master with a good motherboard. I was getting 4.6 all cores with boosts up to five. Man does AMD keep knocking it out of the park.

Pared this with a MSI MEG X570 ACE and found that I can do 4.5 all core stable (working on getting better cooling as heat from 16 cores needs to go somewhere). It beats the heck out of my Skylake X 10 core i9 in Cinebench. No it doesnt have 44 pcie lanes that the i9 has, but I never needed it anyway, just 32gigs ram, 2 NVME and a video card. If you are strictly gaming the 5900x should be enough, but throw in any content creation and the 5950xs 16 cores is beast mode for sure.

Perfect

I have not installed this processor into the newly purchased system, thats why it gets a 1 I dont know what it can do...yet.

AM4 no issues drop in replacement from 8 cores to 16 cores... nice.

Llego con la caja intacta, excelente procesador para la creación de contenido y elaboración de 3D digital. Hasta el momento todo va muy bien. Ya veremos luego

I was excited to get this in and complete my build. Upon opening the package I gave it the once over and discovered one or more bent or broken pins. I almost didnt catch it, the pins are small and there is a lot of them. Ive built many computers and servers over the years and only had a problem with a processor once before this, it was the other brand and the problem was internal and since it was an OEM processor I was left holding the bag. Not sure how to pursue this... one more headache to deal with. If you get one, check closely before attempting to use.
