AMD Ryzen 9 5950X 16-core, 32-Thread Unlocked Desktop Processor

Update: Ended up continue having issues, returned and had to reinstall windows. Looking at the current threads, it looks like people with Asus hero boards (also dark) are having issues, so I would try a different motherboard.

Very satisfied

Amazing processor

Hated to pay the surcharge but it is a fantastic CPU. Has worked very well. Excellent speed and the two M.2 drives in my motherboard have unimaginably fast response.

From playing a game at max settings, to running a memory debugger and an SQL Database inside of a virtual machine and NOT EVEN going above 25% usage while doing all of that, this thing is a beast. THE beast.

To be clear these CPUs run hot but they are meant to Im seeing between 140 - 160 degrees normally

Use the QVL list for best experiences

Currently using with msi x570 ace, this processor is fast but I will say it does run pretty warm. I highly recommend using a good aftermarket cooler and undervolting this thing if you dont want thermal throttling.

Excelente producto!!!!
