5950X Best Processor for Performance and Price
This is by all experiences the best processor I have ever used. First time ever owning a 16 core, works better than I even expected. It replaced the AMD Ryzen 3900X that I did own before which I thought at the time about two years ago was cream of the crop, and in many ways still is for price and performance, but I wanted to go the extra step with the 5950X. Yes, you can buy Intel's lineup that competes, but for me, the price, the performance, the longevity of the AMD platform for desktops was an overwhelming decision to make when making this purchase. Don't get me wrong, I still have Intel products and they are great to have, just that for the 4.0 PCIE standard that is currently driving the market, AMD processors are one step ahead. Once we get past this COVID era, and PCIE 5.0 and DDR5 takes hold, things may change. But for now, I am totally satisfied with the 5950X processor running in my 590X motherboard with the AMD 5700XT graphics card.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

It had two bent pins on corner and a fair amount of old thermal paste on the side on the chip. It’s cleaned up fine and I was able to straighten the pins and make the chip work. Everything seems fine nowVerified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Upgrading from an i9 9900K
I couldn't really justify upgrading from a 9900k unless it was worth the core count. The Intel i9 always did run a little hot, and even with an Corsair AIO. This 5950x has actually been dipping below 90c rather often while the i9 would jump passed 90c rather often. The same tasks have the temps sit at about the same, but I do notice that when I hammer the i9 the cores trade off the work within Windows 10, meanwhile the same tasks hammer ALL of the 5950X cores at the same time. Regardless, the end results allow me more than enough speed to continue my work while background tasks burn away.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

Spend you money on something else.
There was a 40% improvement in the Cinebench score (multi-core) over a 3900X. I expected a 52% improvement (33% for the extra 4 cores and 19% for the improved Instructions per Clock). Still 40% isn't too bad. So far, I haven't found a motherboard which will let me put a video card in the primary slot, only in the secondary. Antonline's price was only 10% over list, so while not a bargain, at least it was better than the 50% over list the other places were charging. Bottom line: I would'nt do it again. A 75% premium in price over the 3900X isn't worth it for my needs.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

You'll want watercooling
If you don't know what this is then you probably don't need it. 16 cores with a 4.9 boost clock (w/built in overclocking with my MB its boosting to 5.0 on two cores). Its a great chip and its probably overkill for what you will use it for. Its your money.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

Great so far
Runs warm, even with Arctic Silver 5 and a Noctua D15 air cooler. Haven’t found anything the new system can’t handle. Have it matched with a Asus Crosshair VIII DH, a 3080Ti, and 64GB of DDR4 3600. A real step up from my previous 8 core system.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

5950X from AMD
The 5950X is Amazing it's like cruising on the top in a car that's got luxury. It goes good with the RX6700XT I've been told it's better with the 6900XT. What can I say the 16 cores spoil you.
