Paid $549 for mine and have nothing but good things to say. Runs fast, many cores, runs cool. That last is very important to me. I'll take a little less raw speed over a blow dryer any day.

Even under prime 95 on a 280mm aio it is very manageable and just fine to sit next to.

Using this with a cheap vetroo v5 cooler. After I replaced 120mm fan with a noctua, temps stay below 80. Usually 68 - 75 stock clocks during cinebench r24 multi.

Using a b550m motherboard with ddr4 and a 3060ti (pcie4.0) it's a nice little system!

Very happy with mine too and am using it right now... I was pretty happy when the price finally came down to $549 and I grabbed one (back in June of 2021), but I had to wait awhile for that because I wasn't going to give a bunch of money to scalpers selling these for a lot more than the retail price.

Great deal if you already have a motherboard that can take this chip and you want to upgrade.

Any suggestions for coolers? Ideally for under $100.

Thermalright Peerless Assassin and phantom spirit are probably the best air coolers out now.

I just recently updated my bios on my 5+ year old B350 mobo. Upgraded from a Ryzen 5 2600x. Very happy with it. I know mine is PCI 3 but it doubled single core performance and about tripled multi core performance - and I'm running in eco mode.

For general gaming would this be a better choice than a 5600x? Its more than twice the price, not quite sure if the value is there.

Thanks. Definitely a great price. Will likely go with one of those.

If you're buying brand new, I think the 5600x would do just fine. That said, I bought my 5900x for $180+ but it's used (but came in the original box and works fine).

Thank you! I was just coming back to edit that message, it was written as poorly as possible. I currently have a 6 month old 5600x (really dont want to resell, selling stuff on ebay is akin to a trip to hell for me), yea I think I will stay. If I could ever find the cpu for the same price as you, I wouldnt even question it haha. Good find!

What are the odds of this costing about 250$ by September or October?

Meh, needs to go to about $200 to spur demand. Not many AM4 upgraders at this price point, IMO

I got mine for $275 last year. Upgraded from 3900x. Did not notice much difference in day-to-day productivity tasks. Runs a bit hotter than 3900x using CM ML240L AIO.
