AMD Ryzensets 7 5800 XT Processor (8 Cores/16 Threads, 105W DTP, AM4 Socket, 36MB Cache, Up to 4.8 GHz max boost frequency, Wraith Prism Cooler)

I bought the Ryzen 7 5800XT as an upgrade because I didn’t want to move to a newer socket right now, especially with the current cost of RAM. I was previously running a Ryzen 7 2700, and the difference in performance is immediately noticeable, particularly in games. Load times are faster, frame rates are higher, and overall gameplay feels much smoother and more responsive. The processor handles modern titles with ease, and multitasking performance is also a big step up thanks to the improved architecture and higher boost clocks. Installation was straightforward on my existing AM4 motherboard, and the included Wraith Prism cooler does a solid job keeping temperatures under control. This CPU is a fantastic option if you want to breathe new life into an AM4 system without the expense of a full platform upgrade. Highly recommended for anyone looking to extend the life of their AM4 build with a serious performance uplift.

Wonderfull upgrade from my 5600x great cpu for the price and only just been released

Hands down the fastest am4 CPU, be warned though - it can get toasty. For my use case the wraith prism cooler couldn't hack it, continuously kept jumping to 70% speed or so, which makes it very very noisy. So yea - great cpu but make sure you have plenty of airflow or aio cooling

Right so I went for the XT, and from my experience, don't bother with the X, or the X3D, unless you're doing a specific build. I upgraded from an i7 7700, to this, the Ryzen 7 5800XT, and I am very impressed. I did a new motherboard build (MSI MAG MAX) which complemented this nicely, but the key thing was the CPU comes with a new cpu cooler, the AMD Wraith, which works insanely well together. Fyi, the instructions with the CPU are pretty rubbish, but I knew what I was doing anyway. Also, a heartbreaking amount of force is required to secure the cooler to the CPU/ board, but the pre-applied thermal paste has worked just as well as the MX-4 does. Overall, very impressed, very fast. This CPU can run any game I throw at it, very capable! very good value for the price, and amd ain't too bad! (intel from day 1). Would recommend - 10/10. Fyi, go for something else if you have anything more powerful than a 4080.

Super fast, does run a bit hot though. Put a peerless assassin 120 on it which keeps the temps in check.

Works well does what its supposed to do

Great upgrade to my PC without buying expensive ddr5 memory.

These CPU’s run hot out of the box, but with some playing around with curve optimiser and PBO I managed to get it to boost to 5.1ghz on negative 30 with max wattages of 80 temps never go above 72 degrees now.
