AMD Ryzen 9 5900X 12-core, 24-Thread Unlocked Desktop Processor

Do not buy, it should cost US$ 549

One of the best 12 core processor in AMD. Superb. Best overall performance

The question was: How many cores does one need?

Got lucky and managed to snag one for Cyber Monday. Installation was straightforward, and stability out of the box was not a problem. However, coming from an Intel processor, I was surprised to see that the processor runs hot both while idle (~45-50 C) and under load (~72 C). After confirming that my thermal solution was properly installed and doing some quick Googling, it seems this is normal for Ryzen chips. In fact, AMD says up to 90 C under load is normal. Old habits die hard and Im still a bit wary, but I cant deny that it absolutely demolishes anything Ive thrown at it so far compared to my old Intel CPU (and admittedly long-in-the-tooth 6700k). Ill keep an eye on the thermals for a while longer, but Im very happy so far.

Coming from a 2700x, youll definitely notice improvement in productivity workloads, and 1% lows in gaming will climb significantly. The only knock I have on the 5900x is that on a X470-F with the latest bios updates applied, the processor will not boost a single core past 3.8ghz... even with PBO enabled and thermals looking great. Beside this one minor complaint, this processor shines in daily tasks and gaming, and should be competent for years to come. Heres hoping I can figure out the boost issue...

Processador muito potente, baixo consumo de energia. 4.9mhz sem overclock 90w de consumo a 60 graus com wc custom.

Espectacular esta CPU si realmente la necesitas. La devolví a la semana después de probarlo porque era para trabajar y al final necesitaba el 5950X sí o sí. Aunque me hubiera quedado con gusto con el 5900X.

Entre intel 11000 y AMD 5000 me quedo con los núcleos de más de AMD con un control de energía muy superior. Si tenéis dudas el 5900x es la mejor opción actual sin duda alguna (siempre y cuándo lo encontréis en stock y a un precio razonable)

I dislike that its gone down in price and seems to stay down. But for the CPU itself it runs a bit toasty by what did you expect its 12 cores

Excelente producto, vuela, no es el más caro, pero por llegar 5 mseg más pronto no considero justificado pagar un precio tan alto por el procesador que le sigue. Funciona excelente en multitareas, en juegos asombroso. Lo mejor lo recomiendo ampliamente
