    It's definitely worth it, I recently bought it. I also bought a cooler for the processor, this one here Be Quiet! CPU Cooler PURE ROCK 3 BLACK. I recently upgraded my computer. My old motherboard is this one: ASUS TUF GAMING B550-PLUS RETAIL, and my memory is: RAM KINGSTON KF432C16BBK2/16 FURY BEAST 16GB (2X8GB) DDR4 3200MHZ DUAL KIT. My power supply is a 600W Sharkoon. I recently bought the processor and also got an MSI GeForce RTX 3050 graphics card, and I got a 27-inch Xiaomi monitor at 200 fps. The computer runs great, very good processor for those who have old systems with DDR4 memory, the upgrade is worth it. The newer systems are getting more expensive, especially with DDR5 memory

    Amazing CPU, I came from the 2600x and as some others say, the difference is noticeable! It needs a good cooler because it's one of those CPUs that gets hot when pushed to the limit! I recommend it, of course, if you can get it for around 150-170 euros! (which is what I paid for it too!)

    In the era of ramageddon, if you don't want to pay these outrageous prices for RAM and you want to do an AM4 build, this is the best you can get. I combined it with a Be Quiet Pure Rock Pro 3, Gigabyte B550 Aorus Elite AX V2 rev. 1.0 Wi-Fi Motherboard ATX with AMD AM4 Socket, AMD 9060 XT 16GB. With the Lian Li 217 case, everything is cool, runs perfectly, I would recommend it to anyone who wants to buy a PC. It can run everything for the next 3-5 years, by which time I hope prices will return to reasonable levels and you can go for AM5 or even AM6, which may be out by then.

    Very high-performance processor and still holds up well in 2025 even though the platform is AM4. Together with an Arctic Freezer 36, it hardly raises temperatures at all, even under heavy load. Excellent both for work and for gaming.

    In short, a beast. I have paired it with an RX 9060 XT 16GB and there is absolutely no bottleneck. It is very capable and literally doesn't struggle anywhere. As for temperatures, I have an Arctic Freezer 34 esports duo and Arctic thermal paste (MX-4) as well, and at idle it ranges between 30-40 degrees, and during gaming (the game also plays a role, of course) I haven't seen it go above 70-75 (and in general it's considered a 'hot' CPU), and note that I play demanding games like Ghost of Tsushima, Red Dead Redemption 2, Cyberpunk 2077, etc.

    It is a very good CPU with which you can have 100fps++ with a 3060, but it heats up very quickly and easily reaches 90 degrees with the Be Quiet Pure Rock 2. However, now that I installed a very powerful water cooler (Titan 360 RX) it reaches 70 degrees and barely goes higher, I would only recommend it if you also get a very good CPU cooler

    Amazing processor, a real beast. As for the temperatures, with a good cooler like the Arctic Freezer 36 A-RGB that I have installed, I don't exceed 70-71 degrees in heavy games. Recently, I put it as a first impression, this is my opinion

    From Ryzen 7 2700x this is the best for low budget, combined with rtx 2070 and B550 tomahawk it's like I got a new pc! Everything runs super fast, fps skyrocketed! It definitely gets hot, it can go above 75 so with an undervolt tutorial on YouTube we lower the temperature by 10 degrees!
    EDIT:
    I changed the card to amd 7800x for 1440p, the cpu works perfectly with a max temperature of 70 degrees and in idle 40-45

    Real beast! For any use! Minimal differences in games with the excellent big brother 5800x3d (5-15 fps in games that utilize the 3d cache). It will easily support demanding multitasking and gaming. Just forget about stock coolers etc. and go straight for good liquid cooling! It’s hot and comes with 105 watts from AMD (which means at least 150+ when overclocked). Otherwise, undervolting is the only way. With an Aerocool Mirage that was installed 360 (but with a change to Arctic P12 RGB fans), it runs like clockwork and stays cool!

    I don't have anything to say that hasn't already been said, it's simply the best VFM available right now! I came from a 1600x with B350, and along with the 5800X I got a TUF B550, I kept the memory, power supply, and the 3060TI from the previous system. With €300 I more than doubled the performance of my machine. Also, because it's generally a hot processor, the first thing I did was undervolt, with impressive results! Better scores in all benchmarks, and most importantly, with a 10-degree lower temperature!

    In short, the processor is VFM and it's a beast. My friend and I have identical PCs, he just got the 3xd. We barely get 10 fps in various gaming at 2K resolution. Attention: It definitely needs a GOOD cooler. I recommend liquid cooling. I installed a Liquid Freezer II 240 and the temperature when I load it ranges between 48-70 max degrees without having touched the fans in BIOS (default).

    Very powerful and fast CPU, I combined it with an ASUS motherboard (B450M-A II) and a 1060 and I can say after a month of use that it doesn't lag anywhere and makes multitasking seem like a breeze. Its temperatures, combined with the Be Quiet Pure Rock Slim 2 cooler and 2 fans in my mid tower case with decent cable management, are a maximum of 85 degrees in AAA games with ultra graphics and various open applications. At idle, it's at most 60 degrees. The 190 euros it costs is a steal in my opinion. It should be noted that this is the first time I've used an AMD CPU and I am satisfied with its performance!

    Amazing processor, the fastest available in AM4 processors and also more affordable. With 8 cores for Socket AM4, it runs everything without showing any signs of struggle. It needs to be placed in a high-quality computer case with good airflow and combined with liquid cooling, as well as a motherboard that has four M2 gen4 slots and fast 4,000 MHz memory. Better and more cost-effective than the AM5 platform at the price it is currently available. It's a steal, purchased for 185 euros. Considering the price it has reached, it is definitely worth buying

    Combined with a Crosshair VI Hero and an NZXT Kraken X62 liquid cooler that is 4 and a half years old. With the ASUS core performance boost closed (it was giving 1.51vcore!!!!), it runs at 51 degrees after 15 minutes of AIDA64. Those who talk about temperature should probably check because the BIOS is likely pushing much more vcore than needed. A very good upgrade from the 1700 I had for the last 5 and a half years!

    Very hot chip. With an aftermarket cooler (6 heat pipes), mx-4 paste and 6 fans in the case, it reached 93 degrees! I undervolted it and calmed down from temperatures. I noticed that it was giving 1.45v voltage which was basically unnecessary, and this is because the technology known as pbo reads how good your cooler is and boosts the cpu more and more. Now I'm working with 1.28v voltage, very stable and I have a max of 78 degrees which, due to the fact that it's already a hot chip, is great!

    Good morning. The only reason I gave 4 stars is because of the temperatures. 79-85 degrees in gaming is excessive, although AMD considers it normal. It's a good processor, it runs everything well, although I expected a few more FPS in a couple of games... Compared to the 2600x I had, it's a HUGE upgrade. The only thing I did was undervolting and lowered the performance a bit to gain -15 to -20 degrees. Because those temperatures were bothering me :P Also, if anyone doesn't have proper cooling in their computer, they should get one if they plan on getting this processor. It doesn't need to be super expensive, but not a joke either.

    Personally, listening to the reviews, I had formed a completely different opinion compared to this and the 5700X. However, in practice things are different - it's definitely not a cold processor, but it's not the monster I heard about everywhere. If you keep it with stock settings and don't want to delve deeper, go for the 5700X. But if you have the patience to work with it a bit, the result is more than satisfactory. With stock settings, I boosted it up to 4950MHz with 43 idle and max 83 under load, along with an Arctic Liquid Freezer 280mm. So I did some research and found the sweet spot at 4750MHz all core OC permanently, with 32 idle and 67 degrees under stress. I don't think the 5700X would have reached this performance, so I'm quite satisfied.

    So, I've had it for a week now and I've hooked it up to an ASUS ROGSTRIX b550 f, with 32 gb of RAM and a gigabyte RTX 3060 oc 12 gb. I'll comment on what interests everyone...the temperatures...in general, it's hot...but at reasonable levels, levels that according to AMD it's designed to reach...

    For example,

    idle: 32-38
    Rendering 4k with daz studio, and having 6-7 tabs open in Firefox, 3 tabs with just some pages, one tab with chatgpt where I asked something unrelated, and 2 tabs playing videos on YouTube, it reached a maximum of 78-84, and as soon as it hit 80, the cooler I have increased its speed and brought it down.

    I don't have liquid cooling, I have the arctic freezer 2 double fan...and I've put the paste that came with the cooler in a small tube on top...

    I hope I helped.

    It's definitely worth it, I recently bought it. I also bought a cooler for the processor, this one here Be Quiet! CPU Cooler PURE ROCK 3 BLACK. I recently upgraded my computer. My old motherboard is this one: ASUS TUF GAMING B550-PLUS RETAIL, and my memory is: RAM KINGSTON KF432C16BBK2/16 FURY BEAST 16GB (2X8GB) DDR4 3200MHZ DUAL KIT. My power supply is a 600W Sharkoon. I recently bought the processor and also got an MSI GeForce RTX 3050 graphics card, and I got a 27-inch Xiaomi monitor at 200 fps. The computer runs great, very good processor for those who have old systems with DDR4 memory, the upgrade is worth it. The newer systems are getting more expensive, especially with DDR5 memory

    very good processor, it can take a lot of beating. it doesn't slow down for anything. I use the computer for demanding gaming and video and image editing. even now after 1.5 years it doesn't lag at all!

    I've been working with it, I play it with overclock ceiling 4.7 GHz all-core 1.28 V, it reaches 80-85 °C under load... that is, constantly, but combined with good 240 water cooling, frequent replacement of thermal paste... EXCELLENT 10/10!!! 2.5 years old and still running stable! My system: Asus x470f-gaming Ram 4x4 32GB Ryzen 5800x 2x SSD m2 1TB and 500GB RTX 4070 OC

    Amazing CPU, I came from the 2600x and as some others say, the difference is noticeable! It needs a good cooler because it's one of those CPUs that gets hot when pushed to the limit! I recommend it, of course, if you can get it for around 150-170 euros! (which is what I paid for it too!)

    In the era of ramageddon, if you don't want to pay these outrageous prices for RAM and you want to do an AM4 build, this is the best you can get. I combined it with a Be Quiet Pure Rock Pro 3, Gigabyte B550 Aorus Elite AX V2 rev. 1.0 Wi-Fi Motherboard ATX with AMD AM4 Socket, AMD 9060 XT 16GB. With the Lian Li 217 case, everything is cool, runs perfectly, I would recommend it to anyone who wants to buy a PC. It can run everything for the next 3-5 years, by which time I hope prices will return to reasonable levels and you can go for AM5 or even AM6, which may be out by then.

    Very high-performance processor and still holds up well in 2025 even though the platform is AM4. Together with an Arctic Freezer 36, it hardly raises temperatures at all, even under heavy load. Excellent both for work and for gaming.

    In short, a beast. I have paired it with an RX 9060 XT 16GB and there is absolutely no bottleneck. It is very capable and literally doesn't struggle anywhere. As for temperatures, I have an Arctic Freezer 34 esports duo and Arctic thermal paste (MX-4) as well, and at idle it ranges between 30-40 degrees, and during gaming (the game also plays a role, of course) I haven't seen it go above 70-75 (and in general it's considered a 'hot' CPU), and note that I play demanding games like Ghost of Tsushima, Red Dead Redemption 2, Cyberpunk 2077, etc.

    It is a very good CPU with which you can have 100fps++ with a 3060, but it heats up very quickly and easily reaches 90 degrees with the Be Quiet Pure Rock 2. However, now that I installed a very powerful water cooler (Titan 360 RX) it reaches 70 degrees and barely goes higher, I would only recommend it if you also get a very good CPU cooler

    This review is about the packaging: Tray

    Amazing processor, a real beast. As for the temperatures, with a good cooler like the Arctic Freezer 36 A-RGB that I have installed, I don't exceed 70-71 degrees in heavy games. Recently, I put it as a first impression, this is my opinion

    For its price, it's worth it. It does everything very easily and quickly. I've had it for a month and it hasn't shown any problems so far. Game server runs perfectly

    Crazy temperatures, it definitely needs a cooler and it's just fine, there's no need for water cooling and with air cooling it works just fine, max 70c in games like Warzone, PUBG, Tarkov, etc

    Nice processor, in terms of temperatures it's okay so far, max 70 degrees with Corsair A115 air cooling, (this may vary depending on the general environment where the PC is located, whether the surroundings are hot or cold)

    From Ryzen 7 2700x this is the best for low budget, combined with rtx 2070 and B550 tomahawk it's like I got a new pc! Everything runs super fast, fps skyrocketed! It definitely gets hot, it can go above 75 so with an undervolt tutorial on YouTube we lower the temperature by 10 degrees!
    EDIT:
    I changed the card to amd 7800x for 1440p, the cpu works perfectly with a max temperature of 70 degrees and in idle 40-45

    Real beast! For any use! Minimal differences in games with the excellent big brother 5800x3d (5-15 fps in games that utilize the 3d cache). It will easily support demanding multitasking and gaming. Just forget about stock coolers etc. and go straight for good liquid cooling! It’s hot and comes with 105 watts from AMD (which means at least 150+ when overclocked). Otherwise, undervolting is the only way. With an Aerocool Mirage that was installed 360 (but with a change to Arctic P12 RGB fans), it runs like clockwork and stays cool!

    I don't have anything to say that hasn't already been said, it's simply the best VFM available right now! I came from a 1600x with B350, and along with the 5800X I got a TUF B550, I kept the memory, power supply, and the 3060TI from the previous system. With €300 I more than doubled the performance of my machine. Also, because it's generally a hot processor, the first thing I did was undervolt, with impressive results! Better scores in all benchmarks, and most importantly, with a 10-degree lower temperature!

    In short, the processor is VFM and it's a beast. My friend and I have identical PCs, he just got the 3xd. We barely get 10 fps in various gaming at 2K resolution. Attention: It definitely needs a GOOD cooler. I recommend liquid cooling. I installed a Liquid Freezer II 240 and the temperature when I load it ranges between 48-70 max degrees without having touched the fans in BIOS (default).

    Monster. Together with Asus tuf x570 plus, since 2022 it continues to perform relentlessly without shutting down the pc. Reliability of Ryzen materials, without showing high temperatures and bugs... Unreservedly Yes for purchase again.

    Very good processor after transitioning from AMD Ryzen 3 2200g. Very good performance, the only thing I didn't like is that it easily raises temperatures despite having a very good air cooling (Scythe Fuma 2)

    Very powerful and fast CPU, I combined it with an ASUS motherboard (B450M-A II) and a 1060 and I can say after a month of use that it doesn't lag anywhere and makes multitasking seem like a breeze. Its temperatures, combined with the Be Quiet Pure Rock Slim 2 cooler and 2 fans in my mid tower case with decent cable management, are a maximum of 85 degrees in AAA games with ultra graphics and various open applications. At idle, it's at most 60 degrees. The 190 euros it costs is a steal in my opinion. It should be noted that this is the first time I've used an AMD CPU and I am satisfied with its performance!

    I can say I am particularly satisfied for the money of 200 euros that I bought it, its use is great, the temperature with overclock at 4.6GHz with 1.25 undervolt is normal as I also have Arctic Cooler 240 cooling

    Amazing processor, the fastest available in AM4 processors and also more affordable. With 8 cores for Socket AM4, it runs everything without showing any signs of struggle. It needs to be placed in a high-quality computer case with good airflow and combined with liquid cooling, as well as a motherboard that has four M2 gen4 slots and fast 4,000 MHz memory. Better and more cost-effective than the AM5 platform at the price it is currently available. It's a steal, purchased for 185 euros. Considering the price it has reached, it is definitely worth buying

    Combined with a Crosshair VI Hero and an NZXT Kraken X62 liquid cooler that is 4 and a half years old. With the ASUS core performance boost closed (it was giving 1.51vcore!!!!), it runs at 51 degrees after 15 minutes of AIDA64. Those who talk about temperature should probably check because the BIOS is likely pushing much more vcore than needed. A very good upgrade from the 1700 I had for the last 5 and a half years!

    Very hot chip. With an aftermarket cooler (6 heat pipes), mx-4 paste and 6 fans in the case, it reached 93 degrees! I undervolted it and calmed down from temperatures. I noticed that it was giving 1.45v voltage which was basically unnecessary, and this is because the technology known as pbo reads how good your cooler is and boosts the cpu more and more. Now I'm working with 1.28v voltage, very stable and I have a max of 78 degrees which, due to the fact that it's already a hot chip, is great!

    Good morning. The only reason I gave 4 stars is because of the temperatures. 79-85 degrees in gaming is excessive, although AMD considers it normal. It's a good processor, it runs everything well, although I expected a few more FPS in a couple of games... Compared to the 2600x I had, it's a HUGE upgrade. The only thing I did was undervolting and lowered the performance a bit to gain -15 to -20 degrees. Because those temperatures were bothering me :P Also, if anyone doesn't have proper cooling in their computer, they should get one if they plan on getting this processor. It doesn't need to be super expensive, but not a joke either.

    Personally, listening to the reviews, I had formed a completely different opinion compared to this and the 5700X. However, in practice things are different - it's definitely not a cold processor, but it's not the monster I heard about everywhere. If you keep it with stock settings and don't want to delve deeper, go for the 5700X. But if you have the patience to work with it a bit, the result is more than satisfactory. With stock settings, I boosted it up to 4950MHz with 43 idle and max 83 under load, along with an Arctic Liquid Freezer 280mm. So I did some research and found the sweet spot at 4750MHz all core OC permanently, with 32 idle and 67 degrees under stress. I don't think the 5700X would have reached this performance, so I'm quite satisfied.

    So, I've had it for a week now and I've hooked it up to an ASUS ROGSTRIX b550 f, with 32 gb of RAM and a gigabyte RTX 3060 oc 12 gb. I'll comment on what interests everyone...the temperatures...in general, it's hot...but at reasonable levels, levels that according to AMD it's designed to reach...

    For example,

    idle: 32-38
    Rendering 4k with daz studio, and having 6-7 tabs open in Firefox, 3 tabs with just some pages, one tab with chatgpt where I asked something unrelated, and 2 tabs playing videos on YouTube, it reached a maximum of 78-84, and as soon as it hit 80, the cooler I have increased its speed and brought it down.

    I don't have liquid cooling, I have the arctic freezer 2 double fan...and I've put the paste that came with the cooler in a small tube on top...

    I hope I helped.
