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

An Absolute beast.

Use the QVL list for best experiences

Let me start off by saying that AMD and Intel both have there ups and downs. You cant go wrong with either brand. But you WILL need to put in a tremendous amount of work if you want the most out of AMD!

I bought this hoping that it would improve my framerates in Destiny 2. I knew that D2 likes Intel more than AMD, but the latest reviews were showing this CPU as outperforming Intel i9s in almost all games tested, so I figured itd help out. Making sure that my GPU wasnt the bottle neck, I turned down all of my settings and was getting 80-95 fps in most areas, thats the same performance I was getting with my previous CPU.

I upgraded from a Ryzen 3800X to get faster performance in some heavily multithreaded code. It is indeed much faster, though I needed both better memory and a better CPU cooler. All in all, a good deal if you actually need the performance. Most people would be just as happy with a Ryzen 3600 for a fraction of the cost.

When you can get your hands on one you should, chips runs hot so make sure you have a good cooler

Fast, reliable. Nice benchmarks. Just wish I could have gotten the RTX 3080 to go along with it.

Buy one now. Recommend a AIO water cooler for the cpu. Its an awesome cpu

I do a lot of H265 encoding and this just blazes. I use a deep cool AK620 fan works almost as good as my Noctua 15 but allows my top slot to be used by my GPU. I run stock no overclock and never exceed 80-85c when Handbrakeing. I know the AM5 on its way but Im good for the next 5 or so years.

No presento ninguna falla, empaque en perfectas condiciones sellado.
