Ryzen™ 9 5900XT 16-Core, 32-Thread Unlocked Desktop Processor

Runs cooler than the 5950X and only 100mhz slower single threaded. Pulls ahead in multi threaded apps as it doesn’t thermal throttle as quickly adding longevity to the old AM4 socket. Great for autocad and cpu intensive applications while gaming performance is still great but depending on the game disabling the second CCD might help with latency. With the current DDR5 pricing this processor while help keep your DDR4 system kicking for a few more years.

Very good card if you pair it with a good GPU, definitely get a AIO Liquid cooler cuz this gets very hot, very much entry level hotty, I have not personally overlocked it but with the right cooling I’m sure it can get good numbers, boot times are good but depends on your bio settings, stable card, games that are cpu heavy are very much welcomed here. Overall a good investment for a relative cheap price if you get it around Black Friday.

Grabbed this 5900xt to replace my 5900x (a nice over clocker) , as the 5900x was going into another rig . ~ So far the 5900xt has been fantastic , cool and fast . ~ Doing a somewhat mild PBO overclock, the chip does consistent 5100/5150+ on most cores (and up to 5265+) . ~ The chip has been 100% problem free, and its matched with a MSI Tomahawk 570S Wifi and 64 gig 3600 (2x32) . ~ I do has ths chip under water (a mild Alpha Cool setup with two rads) .This chip will definitely AND EASILY hold me off till AMD 6 . *** Added note : I do heavy game with this also with 3 34" Ultrawide monitors in AMD EyeInfinity (3 screens as one) using a Sapphire 7900xtx Nitro+ at a resolution of 10300 x 1400 . No problems running any AAA game , with this 5900xt and 7900xtx . ~ Again Iam pretty well set till AM6 .

If you are a fan of the AM4 socket and you love power and performance at a killer price, then this is your chip. So many people complain about the heat, but it's very manageable. If you are a content creator, then this is your reliable workhorse.

Update: Be careful of your motherboards. This doesn't work well with the Aorus x470. AMD and Gigabyte are pointing fingers at each other; I'm inclined to believe AMD's diagnosis that the Gigabyte BIOS is buggy, rather than GIgabyte's assertion that the CPU is faulty. Upon installation on an MSI B550 board it booted right away, saw all my memory, booted into linux and immediately started doing the work I had set to it. On LLM tasks it's about 20% faster, even for workloads that fully fit on the GPU: ~80tok/sec from deepseek-coder-v2 to a bit over 100tok/sec. Running llama on CPU generated code at about 4tok/sec, up from 3tok/sec. Nothing else to report .. it just goes faster. Original: maybe I got a defective unit, maybe the bios is buggy, but this thing will not do anything other than turn on the red CPU_FAIL led on a gigabyte aorus x470 wifi 5 gaming board with bios versions F65d or F65g... even though this cpu is supposedly supported as of version F60. AM4 CPU installation is easy enough assuming the thermal solution isn't in the way: it either settles easily into the socket if you have it the right way around and properly aligned, or it doesn't. I had high hopes for this processor, but since it's absolutely useless to me in this moment I can only give it one star and see what gigabyte tech support has to say.,

This thing is a monster! Coming from a OC 5600x, this is definitely a sidegrade rather than upgrade. More cores = more heat. I was cooling with a Deepcool ak620, and this runs much hotter. Base clock speeds are slightly lower, but overall performance is off the charts. I use my PC for more than gaming, so this was a logical choice rather than frame chasing.

As anyone can tell you the 5900XT is a phenomenal CPU, tons of performance for an extremely competitive price. Mine however died after 2 months, completely dead. I started an RMA with AMD, they 1-day shipped both ways, and were extremely easy to work with, got my new replacement CPU and it's working great so far. Companies don't always have good support experiences, but AMD's was great.

I have started playing with some machine learning tasks and locally hosted AI. My "main" computer had a Ryzen 5 5600x (6 cores, 12 threads). In today's environment, building a whole new machine with DDR5 RAM is pretty expensive, so I decided to do what I could with my existing AM4/DDR4 system. My MSI motherboard showed compatibility with the Ryzen 9 5900XT, so I updated to the latest BIOS and gave it a try. I was really looking for a 5900 or 5900x, but I didn't find either for a reasonable price. Since the 5900XT is a 105 Watt processor, rather than 65 Watts, I also got a bigger cooler. The upgrade went without a hitch. The new processor was immediately recognized and booted the first time. The big cooler makes getting to 2 of my RAM slots a little tight, but manageable. I ran a transcoding test on some 1080P video. It was much faster than my previous 5600x, but still didn't compare to using the Nvidia 2070 super video card. Still, if you don't mind the time and want a higher quality transcode, every bit of CPU power helps. Right now, I am doing my first scan of my Photo library on my NAS with Immich running on the NAS. I have a second instance of Immich running on the PC for just the Machine Learning component. So far everything is running very smoothly and I'm not noticing any slow down to other activities (like writing this review).

The best VFM processor Ive purchased!

Placed order, item came a week earlier then expected and installed with a Noctua D12l and got running the day of delivery. I upgraded from a 3600 so the difference is insane. Render times are about halved and it is definitely something to see all 16 cores put to use. If you are trying to extend the life of an AM4 platform or holding out for AM6, I would definitely recommend upgrading to this chip which will still be a beast for another few years. 9950x 50% faster on average in multicore workloads but factor in the cost of ram and mobo upgrades and I would argue it’s not worth it.

Excelente procesador, solo debes prepararte con un disipador de minimo 125w ya que el procesador no lo incluye

DDR5メモリが高騰しているので、AMD Ryzen™ 9 3950XをAMD Ryzen™ 9 5900XTに載せ替えて延命しています。DDR4でも128GB載せているのまだまだ使えると思いますので、DDR5が値下がりするまでこのCPUで延命します。ちなみに自分はTopazでAI動画処理をしていますがグラボと合わせて（RTX3090）使っています。

Got it on as a deal, upgrade to my 4750G. This is a business workload CPU with 16 core/ 32 threads. Best for demand programs like video and graphic editing. Very robust on heavy work load. If you are like me have 100+ open tabs on browsers. This CPU is for you. I paired with a twin tower air cooler, I bought from Amazon, even it is a high end CPU. It's Max. temperature is around 70deg, as cool as Joe Cool. But you can always get a AIO water cooler to keep it cooler. Compare to my other 5950x, it is may be 3-5% slower, but won't feel it unless you are running some benchmark software. Get this if you have a weaker CPU on AM4 as an upgrade. Get it if you would like a new build on AM4. 5 out 5, both on price and performance.
