AMD Ryzen 7 5700X 8-Core, 16-Thread Unlocked Desktop Processor

The AMD Ryzen 7 5700X is a fantastic choice for anyone looking for a high-end CPU that excels in both gaming and productivity. This processor is capable of supporting any current-generation GPU, making it perfect for a powerful gaming rig or work setup. I absolutely love this CPU—it runs flawlessly with a wide range of programs, systems, and games. The performance, efficiency, and price make it an incredible value. It’s one of my best purchases, and I couldn’t be happier. It arrived quickly, well-packaged, and in perfect condition. Highly recommended for anyone in need of a reliable, high-performing CPU!

Upgraded to this back in Nov 2023 from a Ryzen 5 2500x since I’m still on am4. Great performance and very pleased in the increased performance at the price. Works great for gaming. Downside is that it doesn’t come with a stock cooler, so you’ll have to grab one separately but not really the worst downside to have. Paired with a 4060 ti 16GB and I have no issues.

I recently upgraded from a ryzen 5 3600 to a ryzen 7 5800XT. Wasn't satisfied with how much performance I was getting while using 50%+ more power than the 5700X. Nexus has compared these chips and there is literally only a 1-5% difference at max that I guarantee you won't even notice unless your really really really picky. Less power, less heat, longer lifespan not only on the chip but motherboards and coolers. I'm not saying the ryzen 7 5800X and XT aren't good but the 5700X gives near identical performance using half the power of the 5800 family. Best value overall. I had no issues installing or with thermals.Update - One thing I forgot to mention is shipping. I was very close to returning and buying again because my package was half opened but the chip and the original packaging it comes with wasn't damaged. Shipping was faster than expected even without prime shipping. I will say for a computer part, A CPU! The packaging isn't secure, very little protection but somehow still ended up on my doorstep undamaged. My luck I guess, just a little mention.

Works great! First time upgrading my CPU myself. That being so, I naively forgot to check my BIOS version to see if it was supported. I have a ASRock B450 K4 Gaming motherboard, so if you do too, or have a motherboard just as old or older, check if the BIOS supports it, or at least if it needs to be updated to do so (even if it has the same CPU slot, it necessarily doesn't mean it'll support newer AM4 cards...something I was reminded of the hard way.)This is all by no means relevant to how the product works, but the saga of my experience goes as follows: So, I installed it, got in a boot loop, realized my mistake of not updating the BIOS. So I had to uninstall the CPU, grab my old CPU. Then realize my old AMD CPU was stuck to the heatsink...now I have to spend 45 minutes melting the old CPU's thermal paste with a hair dryer (something I vowed never to do...but, desperate times...), put it back in my motherboard after finally getting it off, get extremely frustrated trying to install the new heatsink I bought over my old CPU cause the screws weren't lining up, haul it back to my desk and plug all my cables back in when I finished, look up what BIOS version I needed, find a USB drive that was actually FAT32, download the file, boot to BIOS and do the Instant Flash, wait for 10 minutes, praying that the power didn't go out and fry my motherboard...then when it was finally done I got into YET ANOTHER boot loop after the BIOS was updated. I then was panicked that the update indeed DID fry my motherboard. But, then I AGAIN had to unplug my pc and haul it to my other table to work on it..try and get to my CMOS battery to reset the BIOS, but in order to get to it I had to unscrew and take out my brand new GPU, then I take the CMOS out for a few minutes, put it back in, then install the new CPU as well to see if the new version just didn't support the old CPU...boot it up, pray it'll work, but it still didn't show anything on the screen, but I don't hear my drive and fans turning on and off anymore. Then I realize that it finally DID work, but in the end I just forgot to plug the PCIE power cable back into my GPU, which is why my monitor didn't show anything... ROOKIE MISTAKE. I LOVE computers :,)But, the moral of the story is, this is a great CPU. Runs great, doesn't overheat. And after everything I got a nice boost in performance from my old CPU (R5 3600), and now it shouldn't bottleneck my GPU when I upgrade to a 1440p monitor. Just don't be dumb like me. Or as naive as I was to think it would be a seamless process to upgrade my CPU. I love you, AMD. <3

Good temperatures, energy efficiency and performance, I got it at a good price and it was completely worth it.

Got it as an upgrade of my old R5 2600, and oh boy, it's a big upgrade.It will handle any game like nothing, and it's 8 cores and 16 threads make it exceptional at multitasking.If you are in a budget you can acquire this CPU and any B450 motherboard, just make sure to update your BIOS beforehand.

The power to $ value is great for this. It very efficient and cost effective. I put it into a pc for my parents, who don't have a high need, but I wanted to give them a little more performance they they needed and something that would last a long time.
