The AMD Ryzen 7 5700X is a fantastic choice for anyone looking for a high-end CPU that excels in both gaming and productivity. This processor is capable of supporting any current-generation GPU, making it perfect for a powerful gaming rig or work setup. I absolutely love this CPU—it runs flawlessly with a wide range of programs, systems, and games. The performance, efficiency, and price make it an incredible value. It’s one of my best purchases, and I couldn’t be happier. It arrived quickly, well-packaged, and in perfect condition. Highly recommended for anyone in need of a reliable, high-performing CPU!

Upgraded to this back in Nov 2023 from a Ryzen 5 2500x since I’m still on am4. Great performance and very pleased in the increased performance at the price. Works great for gaming. Downside is that it doesn’t come with a stock cooler, so you’ll have to grab one separately but not really the worst downside to have. Paired with a 4060 ti 16GB and I have no issues.

Great chip for a steal of a price. I gave my GF my 7 2700X and upgraded to this 5700X. The speed is great, and handles any game i throw at it. Its too bad my GPU holds it back. It stays slightly cooler than the 2700X but just so.

Works great! First time upgrading my CPU myself. That being so, I naively forgot to check my BIOS version to see if it was supported. I have a ASRock B450 K4 Gaming motherboard, so if you do too, or have a motherboard just as old or older, check if the BIOS supports it, or at least if it needs to be updated to do so (even if it has the same CPU slot, it necessarily doesn't mean it'll support newer AM4 cards...something I was reminded of the hard way.) This is all by no means relevant to how the product works, but the saga of my experience goes as follows: So, I installed it, got in a boot loop, realized my mistake of not updating the BIOS. So I had to uninstall the CPU, grab my old CPU. Then realize my old AMD CPU was stuck to the heatsink...now I have to spend 45 minutes melting the old CPU's thermal paste with a hair dryer (something I vowed never to do...but, desperate times...), put it back in my motherboard after finally getting it off, get extremely frustrated trying to install the new heatsink I bought over my old CPU cause the screws weren't lining up, haul it back to my desk and plug all my cables back in when I finished, look up what BIOS version I needed, find a USB drive that was actually FAT32, download the file, boot to BIOS and do the Instant Flash, wait for 10 minutes, praying that the power didn't go out and fry my motherboard...then when it was finally done I got into YET ANOTHER boot loop after the BIOS was updated. I then was panicked that the update indeed DID fry my motherboard. But, then I AGAIN had to unplug my pc and haul it to my other table to work on it..try and get to my CMOS battery to reset the BIOS, but in order to get to it I had to unscrew and take out my brand new GPU, then I take the CMOS out for a few minutes, put it back in, then install the new CPU as well to see if the new version just didn't support the old CPU...boot it up, pray it'll work, but it still didn't show anything on the screen, but I don't hear my drive and fans turning on and off anymore. Then I realize that it finally DID work, but in the end I just forgot to plug the PCIE power cable back into my GPU, which is why my monitor didn't show anything... ROOKIE MISTAKE. I LOVE computers :,) But, the moral of the story is, this is a great CPU. Runs great, doesn't overheat. And after everything I got a nice boost in performance from my old CPU (R5 3600), and now it shouldn't bottleneck my GPU when I upgrade to a 1440p monitor. Just don't be dumb like me. Or as naive as I was to think it would be a seamless process to upgrade my CPU. I love you, AMD. <3

Lower power draw at 60W. Very fast. AM4 chip so easy installation. Excellent performance for the price point for productivity and gaming. Bought a second one to use in my lab computer for productivity purposes. Upgraded to the 5700X from a Ryzen 5 4500 and the difference is night and day. Highly recommend this chip for mid tier builds.

Got it as an upgrade of my old R5 2600, and oh boy, it's a big upgrade. It will handle any game like nothing, and it's 8 cores and 16 threads make it exceptional at multitasking. If you are in a budget you can acquire this CPU and any B450 motherboard, just make sure to update your BIOS beforehand.

while it is the older A4 architecture, this is a phenomenal upgrade piece to aging machines. My PC while no slouch with gpu and ram was struggling under the aging ryzen 5 3600 which powered on dutifully since 2019 and was the one thing I had not upgraded within my pc. with the 32gb of ram and arc a750 gpu, its performance was severely bottlenecked until this guy came along. everything is running buttery smooth, it handles just about any task I throw at it and stays cool to boot. great value, great power honestly an easy recommendation.

For those that are most interested in this product, the most intensive thing that I use this CPU for is gaming. I am a hardcore sandbox gamer. Do you know what that means? That means my rig needs a strong cpu that has the cores, threads, and clockspeeds to make sure that my GPU is the lacking component. Right now, I think that my CPU and GPU are almost a perfect match: 7 5700x + RTX 4060 (8GB). There are a fair share of games where my CPU bottlenecks on performance, and a fair share where that is the case with my GPU. I bought this for my first PC build in November 2023, my only wish, is that I went with a slightly more pricey, but probably more future proof AM5 build. For those that might have a little more wiggle room with their budget, the 9 5900X (best AM4 CPU) was just on sale for about $222 not too long ago, and the prices with CPUs here on amazon are quite fickle. Use an amazon price tracker to determine the likelihood of a near sale. At the time of writing this, the 5900X can be expected to have a 32% performance improvement over the 5700X, for the expense of an additional $100. For first time builders that are considering the future proofing of their build, look into AM5 CPUs, given you have the budget for one. An AM5 equivalent would be the Ryzen 5 7600X, feel free to scale up from there, depending on your budget and needs.

This is a great price for this CPU, and a serious contender if you're going to be buying a discrete GPU and building your own PC. Ryzen 7 5700X offers great base speeds with lots of cache on 8 cores, and will happily accept some tweaking and overclocking. Some folks have worried about CPU bottlenecking with higher-end GPUs, but this works very well with a 7900XTX, and bottlenecking is only going to be an issue with huge GPU demand and a lot of back-end processes or demand placed on the CPU. Cyberpunk 2077 in 4k at 200fps? Easy. This is a GREAT mid-range CPU, and the L3 cache (one of AMD's cornerstones) is the same as most of the 7000 series Ryzen processors. However, with it not being a flagship model, most lower- and many mid-ranged motherboards may not support the chip straight out of the box. But don't let that deter you..... If you opt for a motherboard like mine (MSI) and face a similar issue - needing to update firmware/BIOS - don't worry. Follow the video guides on YouTube and in manuals and you'll be fine. But remember: format a new, small USB2 drive in FAT32, Google is your friend for this and for checking a partition is MBR (if you're very particular), download the exact version of BIOS required, and rename the file AND extension as directed. If you then boot from a Windows Installation Media drive, you'll get a fresh install of Windows without any bloatware or rootkits from any device manufacturer! Very easy to install - be gentle and cautious (and consider an antistatic wristband), line up the triangles, and don't force anything. Stability is a proven strength, and Ryzen Master is a good monitoring tool; the CPU voltage remains constant after idling for several hours with core temperature peaking at 30°C. Make sure you apply the thermal paste evenly, making sure to avoid leaving a blank spot. Appearance-wise? It's a chip. In an unnecessarily large box. Clean install of Windows 11 and up-and-running in less than an hour. Don't forget this chip DOESN'T HAVE INTEGRATED GRAPHICS AND DOESN'T COME WITH A STOCK COOLER, but let the CPU do CPU things and invest in a GPU of your choice. Plus, if you're opting for a CPU without integrated graphics, you'll probably be doing something with the cooling, right? As others have said (and this review highlighted previously), there must be some issue with the Amazon/seller/logistics/delivery process. I had multiple notifications about updates to tracking, but nothing informative on the Amazon platform. I was told, multiple times, that it had been dispatched, or tracking information was available, which did cause me some distress and confusion when seeing other reviews. I strongly suspect there's some issue between the vendor's platform, Amazon, tracking/delivery service, and how their systems speak to each other.

I bought this because it supports ECC, too bad there's no onboard graphics so you need to buy a cheap GPU.

Der Ryzen 7 5700X ist für mich aktuell einer der besten Deals, wenn es um starke Allround-Leistung im AM4-Sockel geht. 8 Kerne, 16 Threads, und dabei eine sehr gute Effizienz – perfekt für Gaming, Streaming und auch produktive Aufgaben wie Video- oder Fotobearbeitung. In Spielen steht der 5700X kaum teureren CPUs nach, vor allem wenn man eine halbwegs aktuelle Grafikkarte nutzt. Und wer multithreaded Anwendungen nutzt, bekommt hier richtig was fürs Geld. Die Temperaturen sind auch angenehm niedrig – selbst mit einem Mittelklasse-Luftkühler läuft er schön kühl und leise. Ein kleines Extra: Kein Boxed-Kühler dabei – aber das finde ich sogar gut, weil man sich sowieso meist einen besseren Kühler gönnt. Und die CPU ließ sich bei mir ohne große Mühe leicht übertakten. Fazit: Wer noch auf AM4 setzt oder aufrüstet, macht mit dem 5700X nichts falsch. Starke Performance, gute Effizienz, zukunftssicher für viele Jahre – absolute Empfehlung!
