I have used this processing unit in my desktop machine for a little over a year now.

The machine as a whole runs very well and the processor have never given me any trouble.

In fact, using standard resource monitors (htop & conky) on my system I actually have to push RAM & GPU usage up (like playing a resource-intensive game via steam) to see CPU usage rise over 10%. Otherwise it is consistently low even with a base of 9 separate working windows open and functioning on my window manager.

The processor was easy to apply during the build process.

The stock cooler looks fantastic with the rest of my components.

A great CPU.

Moving from i7 3770 to Ryzen was the best decision I've ever made, it was such a huge improvement for my content creation, my computer is very fast and I am loving every minute of it.

Bought this as part of my build, i actually wanted the X version of this CPU but im very happy overall with my choice as its performing well enough for me and it fitted my budget and required spec. very neatly packed, unopened and quick shipping!

I have no complaints - I did buy it when the price was more reasonable at R2799, but when it comes to actually reviewing the product itself, it is excellent

I upgraded to this cpu from my old ryzen 5 1400 and it was definitely well worth it.
Definitely one of the best value for money cpus on the market these days and I'd highly recommend it.

I can't find fault with it i am very impressed with this product, I upgraded from a Ryzen 3 1st Gen. I am very happy with the product , Would recommend 100%

Recently upgraded to this processor, great performance at budget price. Stock cooler temps not amazing but AIO Liquid Cooling giving you amazing temps and overclocking capacity. Great service from Wootware staff! Keep it up guys.

I've had mine for about 5 months now, and it performed relatively well under stock conditions. Overclocked it a notch with a Reeven RC-1205 CPU cooler, and it handled most of what I could throw at it (games like Division/Division 2/Rise of the Tombraider/Witcher 3/ESO/) along with heavy graphic and photo editing software. Decided to install a proper liquid cooler (Cooler Master MasterLiquid ML240L) and results are astounding. See ( https://valid.x86.fr/bench/y0fvpm/12 ) for my bench results. Outperforms Intel Core i7-8700, Intel Core i7-8086K, AMD Ryzen 5 2600X, Intel Xeon E5-1650 v4 , Intel Core i7-6850K, Intel Core i7-7800X in the bench tests.

A great CPU at a very affordable price. You cannot go wrong.

Ek het twee van hierdie gekoop moet se my broer was baie beindruk.

This thing has much better value than most of Intel's offerings at the moment. I am impressed with it's performance. It manages to beat my 6700K (overclocked) even at stock speeds in benchmarks. Considering how much my 6700K was when I got it, this CPU has a much more attractive price. AMD is definitely the way to go right now, for sure.

A brilliant processor at a great price, I must say. Extremely happy with the performance though it must be said... the stock cooler really isn't anything special. Been playing Shadow of the Tomb Raider lately and noticed my CPU temps reached as high as 83 degrees using the Wraith Stealth and pre-applied thermal paste. So just a heads-up for anyone looking to use stock cooler for gaming. Other games I've played do run in the low to mid 70s but just to be on the safe side I'd recommend an aftermarket cooler and additional fans (in case you don't have many).

Overall, I couldn't be happier :)

You will be hard pressed to find a better cpu for this price. A word of caution though, it does run hot and the stock cooler doesnt do a great job so if you are always doing cpu intensive tasks like video editing get a aftermarket cooler or even better AIO

Awesome processor for the price. It clocks well and stay really cool with a corsair h100i cooler. Really happy with the performance.

It's the jack of all trades at a reasonable price, it will do everything at a level I would call "great" out of; ( bad - ok - good - great - excellent ). This series of AMD cpus (Ryzen 5s) have proven to be a sensible choice for people wanting to get the best value for money. In my experience using them, they haven't fallen short in any way that was unexpected.
