Bought this CPU to keep my AM4 system for the foreseeable future until the price for AM5 parts gets more affordable. The main problem is the CPU runs fairly hot, even with an AIO and some Thermal Grizzly PTM (though, I did find it cools fairly quickly after initial heavy loads). With that said, many things I did when I had a 5600X responded a little quicker with the 5800XT and games seemed to play a lot better with the CPU upgrade. With that said, I initially oveeclocked it at 3600GT/s before lower it to 3200GT/s and finally ran stable (doesn't crash or randomly rebooting). There where other things I did to my system (like cleaning it XD ), but know that this is a hot CPU.

Among the top Zen 3 CPUs on the AM4 platform, it will take whatever one throws at it. Power-wise, it is not the most frugal, using ~15W when idle and ~130–140W during a heavy load. One can curb that, to 88W, by selecting the 65W Eco mode without much loss, simulating a 5700X. Using a Peerless Assassin 120 SE, the 5800XT's temperature goes from the mid-20s to mid-70s in winter. First test the included Wraith Prism, and if not adequate, get a Phantom Spirit or Peerless Assassin.

I was stuck between buying this or the 5800X3D Anniversary Edition. In the end, I decided that paying a fair bit more for marginal gains wasn't worth it, having only an Arc B580. The 16-core 5900XT would have been better, because I encode a lot, but the price wasn't right. Going from the 4600G to 5800XT was a considerable but not Earth-shattering improvement; however, Windows feels faster, and the B580 is better utilised in games. All in all, satisfied with the 5800XT and would recommend it if competitively priced.

Great CPU. I wanted to give my son my 5600X so I bought this 5800XT. It’s a great chip and performs very well in multitasking and gaming. Paired with a Sapphire Pulse 6800 and 32GB DDR4 3600 RAM it’s everything I need to play my games how I want to at 1440p.

This CPU does run hot. So if you purchase it just know that’s normal. But I would recommend buying a different cooler than the one included. I feel AMD just had extra coolers lying around and decided to throw them in with this CPU since the 5800X (the older version of the 5800XT) does not come with a cooler. The included cooler is fine if you have nothing else but it probably won’t allow the 5800XT to run at full power. And with how cheap really good air and AIO coolers are there’s no reason not to get a better cooler for this chip.

Overall if you are still on AM4 platform (and don’t want to pay the outrageous DDR5 RAM prices) and running a chipset that’s Ryzen 5500 or lower (especially if you have a 3000 series or older) then this 5800XT is a nice upgrade. Just remember it’s a hot running chip and to get the full power from it you’ll need a decent cooler.

Exactly as advertised. Slight scruff of the Heat Spreader, but thats the pe expected. Pins were perfect. Cam complete in Box with the cooler.

Great processor, amazing for gaming, I believe I got it for $200 at the time, which seems fair. The color is quite loud at times but seems to keep the cpu cool enough. Don’t think I’ll be getting anything else for several years.

Great product, minimum fps increased and stuttering issue its gone. Maybe pricey for nowdays.

Works as advertised, runs hot! But its supposed to! Will hit 91c, not a defect but a feature. Took some research on my end for that. Cooler works, can get quite loud but you can always adjust the fan curve. Dont use thermal paste that is pre applied to cooler, tried to leave it on there for "research" worked fine for a week before thermal throttling actually occurred. Thermal is old just remove it. Fresh coat of thermal and its good to go. Coming from a Ryzen 5 2700 this was a great upgrade for the money, got on sale as well. Overall satisfied with my purchase but do your own research with this particular cpu. In a hostile market of overpriced parts or otherwise unattainable parts, im happy with it.

4 stars for the pre applied paste on cooler, dont sell a product that cant last shelf life or is insufficient for the needs.

Still a beast; yes, if you have the cash (and you'll need it at time of writing...RAM, big oof) you'll probably find faster chips and chipsets waiting for you, but if you're content with budget-building there's plenty to like about what's been, for me, a perfect all-around choice.

The X3D variant was a lot more expensive when I bought this and I don't think it was worth the extra spend for gaming, since I had multiple use-cases in mind. The higher thread-count Ryzens might make more sense than this one if you can get a good deal and want to do things that benefit from lots of threads. In my own case, I was looking to contain cost and still get excellent performance. Mission accomplished.

I skipped the cooler that came with it, full disclosure. I tried it later on another chip and...it's a bit awkward to wire up for the lights, but if you like to kit your system out with pretty LEDs it's probably a good value-add for cheap, and it does the job. I went with a big heat sink and low-noise horizontal fan cooler instead, and I only find that in-game temps get a little spicy with the default configuration on my motherboard (automatic overclock). I might fiddle with this later but I have not had stability issues from day one, so there's no rush to tinker.

My use cases include transcoding media, gaming, virtualization, compiling some software from source, and other Linux stuff. I don't feel like I'm missing out but YMMV. All that said: the newer chipsets will net you PCIe gains. Such are the costs of saving money with yesteryear tech.

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！

this is the best AM4 CPU that's available on the market, upgraded from a R5 2600 and my FPS improvement is insane, I can actually play shooter/fps games at 240hz on 2K resolution now where I was getting like 100 before, definitely not bottlenecked anymore, good investment

En la descripción pone que trae ventilador incluido, solo me llego el procesador. El procesador funciona a las 1000 maravillas; vengo de un ryzen 7 2600x y este R 7 5800xt lo supera con creces. Mejor rendimiento en photoshop y renderizado.

Lo compre en descuento durante el Black Friday como upgrade a mi Ryzen 5 5600 ya que con los precios de la RAM actuales no era viable pasarme a AM5. A la hora de mi compra estaba a solo 500Mx mas que comprar un R7 5700X, pero este venia con cooler por lo que me salia igual que comprar un buen cooler para el 5700X.

Me gusta mucho el cooler, bastante vistoso con un RGB muy bonito y de un tamaño bueno para el CPU. El CPU como tal tiene temperaturas algo altas cuando se usa en juegos o actividades pesadas, sin embargo no es nada del otro mundo. Aunque si recomiendo que si lo compras y vives en un area calurosa considera un cooler mas robusto.

Nada que pedirme en juegos que uso personalmente. En 1080p va bien con mi 9060XT, no me da cuello de botella y es estable.

a beast of a CPU to get for a budget built , although it heats upto 80c with stock cooler in summer ,it hasn't dropped in performance yet. i would suggest getting a new thermal paste and applying that as the pre installed thermal paste is not that good and a new 600-800 thermal paste can lower the temps by 5-9 degrees easily . may it be gaming productivity or just casual use this cpu can handle it all without any lag or issue
