Powerful and reliable processor!
If you’re looking for a CPU that delivers excellent performance without needing any tweaks, the Ryzen 7 5800XT is a great choice. It handles gaming, streaming, and multitasking effortlessly, and stays cool even under heavy loads. Installation was straightforward, and it worked perfectly right out of the box. A solid upgrade for anyone building or upgrading a PC.

Excellent!
Very budget friendly with excellent performance! Love this CPU! Runs AAA titles and stays very cool with a AIO 360 liquid cooler.

Still a great CPU even in 2025!
Still a great CPU even in 2025! It arrived in good condition and fired up my PC without a hitch after installing it in my B550 main board. It comes with the more beefy Wraith Prism heat sink/fan, but I am not using it, so can’t say how well it cools, but my CPU is running at ~36c (a few degrees lower than my Ryzen 5 5600 ran in the same rig) on the desktop so I would guess it would run at ~40-44c or so if I were to use the stock cooler.Edit: When doing CPU intensive stuff like shader caching, it does jump right up to ~60 degrees and the fans wind up. That is due to the AMD PBO (precision boost overdrive) settings that increase clocks and voltages quite a bit temporarily for high workloads. You can disable that (I did) in your BIOS, if you prefer silence and low temperature and power use over spikes of higher performance, and it runs super quiet and stays at ~38-40 degrees while still performing ~98% as well.

Good CPU, terrible cooler.
Great CPU to keep the older AM4 platform going. The only two issues with it is that it is a heat monster and the Wraith Prism included with it has no hope of cooling it properly.The Wraith Prism included with the CPU I bought had what looked like a dot pattern of thermal putty, and not a sheet of paste that it should have. I gave it the benefit of the doubt and tried installing it, only to be greeted with 75C idle temperatures that quickly shot up to 90-100C under even light loads like booting into Windows.Removing the cooler for inspection revealed the thermal putty dots had barely expanded and through the gaps, about 50% of the IHS was not covered by anything. I scraped all of it off and used some good thermal paste spread out all over the IHS for 100% coverage. This didn’t get the temperatures down much, and the CPU still hit the high 80s under load, with the fan annoyingly ramping up and down rapidly. The blades on my cooler weren’t balanced properly so it caused the whole machine to vibrate more or less depending on how fast the fan was spinning.I opted to just ditch the Wraith Prism and used a different air cooler entirely. Lower temps, no annoying fan noise and the case wasn’t trying to vibrate itself apart like a concrete vibrator.Performance wise, it is far and above the CPU it replaced, a Ryzen 5 1500X I bought back in 2017.

Decent upgrade from 5700G
I had been running a Ryzen 7 5700G in my daily driver since I built the PC a couple years ago and had accumulated enough spare parts to build a PC for my kiddo and the 5700G is a decent APU/CPU but i saw this on sale for a good price and went for it not expecting much of a difference, but wow, gaming at 1400p (RTX 3080) is so much is so much smoother than the 5700g and much quicker starting and running programs the it previously was so i was pleasantly surprised. Only thing is make sure you’ve got a pretty decent cooling solution because she runs hot. Otherwise I’m pretty happy with it. Should buy me a couple more years before I have to update my computer again, unless Vram gets me…. thanks Nvidia.

Good AM4 upgrade. Pain to install the cooler. RGB on by default.
The price was right, so I upgraded from a ryzen 2600 for roughly 50-80% more CPU power in CPU limited loads. It won’t help if you are limited by your GPU in a game, but there are plenty of times when a faster processor will help, particularly for video production, multitasking, etc.Note that if you are upgrading, you will probably need to flash your bios with a USB drive. This was very easy to do on my computer, but you do need to flash it *before* you install the new processor.Because the included cooler attaches to the clip-style brackets on an AM4 motherboard, I had to dig out my old brackets and reattach them to the motherboard. Thankfully I still had them in the closet. These brackets specifically had to be removed for the previous cooler that came with the Ryzen 2600. Even after I got the brackets reattached, the hooks are quite hard to attach, especially if you haven’t removed your motherboard from the case to do the processor swap. I found it was easier to start with the hook with the latch, then make sure to center up the cooler on the top of the processor. You have to get it squared up just right so that the opposite side hook has enough room to clip on. Then just turn the latch and plug it into the motherboard.Also the cooler comes with RGB activated by default, which is silly. There are additional cords you can run to your motherboard, and then you have to download software to control the RGB. You can’t turn off the RGB without the software because it is on by default. Please AMD, just make the RGB off by default and let us turn it on with the software.

High quality CPU
This is a great, fast, high quality AMD CPU especially for the money. The heat level seem really good, and it is very stable. I upgraded from my AMD Ryzen 7 2700x and I could tell the difference in speed.

Biggest Upgrade for AM4 beside X3D
Upgraded from a Ryzen 5 5600GT. I wanted to get the highest chip I could and stay on the AM4 platform. It’s hard to explain why it’s better but it just is. Graphics are smoother and the graphics are more crisp. I added an AIO amd my CPU temp does not go over 59* C. My 5600 was around 55* with an Air Cooler only. I would purchase this again especially for the price. If you can’t afford the X3D like me, this is the next best UG from. Ryzen 5. It comes with a very nice air cooler that costs 50$ alone. It’s an excellent value.

ryzen5 5500 からの乗り換え。シングル、マルチともに30%以上の性能向上。メインタスク以外にも、google検索とかちまい部分にも性能向上を感じます。ただ、熱が強くなったせいかファンがうるさいシーンは増えました。用途によっては65WのCPUの方がコスパが良いかもしれません。写真はクーラーのイメージですが、トップフローは好みが分かれるかも。コスパの高いといわれるryzen5000番台のCPUではシングルタスクでは最高峰なので、より強いマルチタスク性能を求めなければ、5800XTが最強(コスパ込み)です!

Was für ein “Klopper”: zusammen mit dem Lüfter schon allein optisch beeindruckend. Mit Win11 läuft das System unglaublich schnell – bin sehr zufrieden, dafür geht der Preis völlig in Ordnung.
