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

Bought this on sale for $138(!) and now have it in a MSI A520M-PRO motherboard after using a Ryzen 3600x to update the BIOS. The board has a 4-pin connector for the CPU and the 65W TDP of the 5700x has been fine.The build has 64GB of DDR4 RAM and an RTX 2060. I plan to upgrade the GPU and an currently using the PC for coding and CAD work.Previous I was using a 4790s running Windows 10. That CPU simply couldn't run Adobe software or IDEs and now this thing just crushes any program I use. GPU is not constrained obviously and this CPU will run anything imo. I got the CPU and motherboard for ~$210 and am thrilled with the value. Will update after using for several months.

Installation is easy enough, depending on how much of a pain your CPU cooler is. Considering the power usage (and how hard it is to get a Zen 3 X3D processor), this might be the best value on AM4 at the moment.Idle power is generally around 2 to 6 watts, although when pushed, the chip is happy to use around 105 to 110 watts, just like a 5800X. Generally, it should run much cooler, more of the time, than a 5800X, even with relatively inexpensive air coolers. 65 watts of TDP is not much, so any cooler should run more quietly on this than on a 5800X -even after using Ryzen Master and its curve optimizer for a little extra speed.It's not the fastest gaming CPU on AM4, of course, but at half the price of the 5700X3D, it's the better value. I'd definitely recommend this over the 5600X, because no amount of overclocking can replace the two extra cores for multitasking purposes.Also, take note: those of you looking for something in this product range should NOT buy the Ryzen 7 5700 without the X, if the two CPUs are around the same price. The 5700X has double the L3 cache. I almost made that mistake before doing a little extra research.

My Ryzen 5 3600 and Mobo died on me after 5 years and i didn't have enough money to switch to a completely new platform. So I bought the R7 5700X and a MSI B550-A Pro. Worked well, saw a very noticeable increase in performance. This did not come with a cooler so i used the 3600 cooler (which was a mistake). I loaded up COD Warzone and instantly started getting 96C on the CPU. So I had to buy a aftermarket Cooler which was the Peerless Assassin 120 SE. Temps in WZ never goes above 74C which is VERY good.Overall if you're on AM4 platform and want an upgrade but cant afford the 5700X3D then this is PERFECT for you.

Un gran procesador, trabaja de manera genial, no tiene ningún problema en mi caso, todo fue perfecto, cosas a tener en cuenta si se usa para programas pesados, primero recuerda, este producto no viene con disipador, es bueno que le compres uno que sea de media gama, vale si un poco más pero te lo agradecerá con el tiempo ya que las temperaturas no van a ser un problema, lo manejo con una gráfica más baja de lo normal una 1050ti pero aún así no genera cuello de botella y eso se agradece un montón. Muy buen producto y ya tengo unos meses de uso, sin problema alguno

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

I might add the box was slightly damaged. But had a unbroken seal from the factory. The CPU appears to be brand new out of the box. It installed fine and is working perfectly.I am using a Wraith Prism heatsink cooler that came with my 2700x. Which works great, it keeps the cpu very cool even when gaming. Upgrading allowed me to run my ram at full speed 3200 mhz. Which I could not do with the 2700x.This is a very competent processor. I have noticed a big increase in the overall speed of my computer. And a big increase in gaming.The seller sent what was promised and did it in a timely manner. I can recommend this cpu and the seller who sold it to me.Get it you will not regret it.
