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

Some subtle realignment and it finally seated after 45 minutes of fussing.... Im not hopeful for the future.

I upgraded from a 7700K. The last of intel’s “we have no competition, therefore we are going to remain complacent” processors. I bought this after the launch of the 5800X3D and chose it, because I have a GPU bottleneck and could probably use the extra cores going into the future. The 12900K absolutely has better single core performance, but the two things that made me choose 5950X, the fact that I fell victim to intel’s complacency. Second, the longevity and performance gains of the AM4 socket from Ryzen 1XXX to Ryzen 5XXX. I’m running this alongside a 3080Ti in a meshlicious package and I couldn’t be happier.

System: MSI Tomahawk B550 MB, 128 GB RAM, 2TB NVME SSD workstation - not a gaming rig. Unexpectedly required BIOS update to be happy with the RAM (May 2021) but afterwards runs smoothly. Overclocked CPU and RAM using MSI standard options. System has been chugging away on a CPU-heavy data analysis exercise for more than two days straight, running at <80C with an air-cooled system. Runs circles around an equivalently specd five-year-old XEON server-class machine (20 cores, 40 threads, 128 GB RAM) at my office.

Good seller

Finally arrived on the 18th day. Absolute beast. Latest bios update released the day I received it solved a memory issue which otherwise would have made this useless on Gigabyte X570 Ultra motherboard. Make sure you have atleast F31J bios on this motherboard installed with all the lastest software (Ryzen Master and Gigabyte utilites you use) before installing. If using Clock tuner Ryzen (CTR) disable and uninstall, not supported yet. Not sure how I got lucky to snag one but I did. Amazon shipped it from Brazil to fulfill the order. Slow, late but delivered so props to them. RX 6800 XT? Not much luck on that front.

Best for the money

This is my first new build in about 15 years and fact it was expensive I would do it agian this chip is a beast. Running at normal the turbo is hitting 5ghz in game on its on no overclock and Im running to 32inch monitors my home security cameras pulled up on one and gaming on other and this chip dont even break a sweat or load.

I had to go with the best. So there is.

It’s amazing, I got to work, it feels good to own this much power
