> 3 dayAbsolutely love this BEAST of a CPU. The market price dropped soon after purchase. Was very happy with the CPU, so that didnt really matter.

> 3 dayIncredible. The Ryzen 5 wasnt nearly powerful enough for the heavy load we were putting on it doing professional audio editing and processing. Upgrading to the 5950X did the trick. This thing is in a PC that makes the Mac Pro look like trash in comparison (because they are, of course, but you get the point).

Greater than one weekI 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.

> 3 dayI 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.

> 3 dayWhat can I say? My first custom build PC since 2008. Originally I wanted the 5900x but this one became available and I was lucky to purchase it within 15 seconds of in-stock alert. This thing is absolute beast and will last me for the next 6-8 years for my trading/gaming/WFH purposes. Now I need to get my GFX card and I am set to go.

08-06-2025Pared 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.
