AMD Ryzen 7 5700 8-Core, 16-Thread Desktop Processor

The processor has given me a boost of 20% performance in gaming, my previous one from the 3000 series was kinda bottlenecking my system due to only having 6 threads. This processor is good for my system since im still on the am4 platform, my advice is to update the BIOS to latest version before you actually assemble it - i had an old bios, at first it wasnt recognizing the CPU, mounted my old 3500x back, updated bios and i was good to go.

I bought the Verizon 7 processor to replace my Verizon 3 in my motherboard the processor itself works wonderfully I ran into a few problems but that was nothing related to the processor the speed is exactly what I need and it has helped improve my gaming experience tremendously

Works great! No problems whatsoever. It's fast efficient and it also helps to have 128 gigs of ram on my board. Plus, I overclocked the CPU from 3.7 to 4.5 Reasonable. Excellent. I would buy it again.

Works like a charm.

Great cpu for gaming.

Fast CPU, really made a difference since my last upgrade.

CAMER FAST AND WORKS AS NEEDED

Replaced an i5-8400 with this guy. Was good for the price, but I had to replace the cooler. On paper, this thing is supposed to handle things just fine (TDP for TDP). In reality...different story. I was monitoring system temps while performing basic tasks and they were always abnormally high (50C idle, 70C at 40% load). This was with the stock thermal paste.I ended up having to take my rig back apart and inspected the surfaces for both my CPU and the cooler. CPU was smooth as butter. Cooler? Not so much. Saw a few gouges and a couple small pieces of metal in the compound. Hoping that I could compensate with a good thermal paste and verifying good application, I saw absolutely no change in temperatures. Sadly, the cooler comes bundled with the processor so best I can hope for is the AMD RMA process, which nobody has time for. Conclusion? Just get your own cooler, even if you get this processor. Hopefully mine was just messed up at the factory, but it wasn't cutting the mustard on light tasks, which means it would have been hurting under heavy load.Thankfully, there is more than just the cooler in this package. The processor itself is, to put it lightly, in a different league than the 8400. Cold boot? 6 seconds. Shutting down? 2.5 seconds. Windows 10 installs faster than you can blink. It's more than sufficiently fast for my needs so far, especially coming from the experience I had with the 8400.Apparently there's controversy around the 5700 being a 5700g with the APU disabled. Coming in from being an Intel guy for so long, I really have no basis for comparison. I ended up with a bunch more cores, threads, fabrics, rebars, gidgets, and gadgets than I had before.For the price I paid, even with having to get another cooler, it's worth it. Would I have enjoyed a frustration-free experience for a few extra bucks? Heck yeah. That cooler was polished with a brillo pad and it almost makes me wonder if I was working with a refurb in disguise, but I digress. Still worth it. Now happy to be on team red.
