LOWEST PRICE

In Desktop CPU Processor

It has functioned flawlessly on a MSI Tomahawk MB with DDR 6000 CL 30 memory. Upgrade options down the road... Gaming performance has been a significant improvement over my previous 5600x.

I had a 5900x and got it on a sale but always wanted the 16/32 core 5950x since it was the best CPU AMD released for AM4. But it was always priced with too much inflated pricing. I got this 5900XT Jan 2026, 16/32, core CPU because it was priced right and had the full 16 cores I wanted. I got it because I decided to not buy into AM5 at the moment because of DDR5 pricing is so high, but I wanted some sort of an upgrade right now and I already have 64GB ram and a 7900XTX card. I am glad I bought it because I am pretty sure I got a cherry of a CPU. I used Ryzen master to do the curve optimizer testing and after 2 hours of it running it set all cores to -30 negative. I was a bit skeptical of this choice but ran with it and it has been 100% solid and stable and boost to 4975-5000Mhz. I left every setting alone in the bios and the AMD software set the bios up according to the tests it did when I ran the software. The only thing I setup myself was the DDR4 which is set to 3733Mhz with decent timings not the best but pretty decent. In Aida64 my latency when tested is about 57-59ns which is pretty good I think for a dual CCD CPU. I am happy with my choice so far. It does seem to be faster than my older 5900x 12/24 CPU in games mainly because it seems to hold the core clocks a lot longer and temps do not seem to affect it as much as on the older 5900x did.

Always been a fan of AMD. This processor does not disappoint. Graphic performance is superb for my purposes as I am not a gamer.

If you dont like to go into your motherboard, set the proper settings for your CPU and do various software things like Xbox Game Bar and ext. If you think you only need to run the chipset drivers and memory exp timings in the motherboard, then the 9950X3D2 is for you.

Low thermals - very good performance - pretty fast

Awesome speeds for 65 watts! No need for liquid cooling; wraith cooler is near silent.

FAST. SO FAST. I think my computer lifted off the floor once....I have had ZERO issues, incredible processor, runs cool, haven't even needed to OC yet, sitting pretty at 4.0ghz :D

Upgrading from a AMD 4170, what can I say this gave me 20 more frames or more in all of my games with my GTX 770. It finally feels like I'm a gamer. This CPU is built tough and thats what you would expect from Intel. I felt that my AMD was lagging behind a lot. Expensive but its worth every dollar over current AMDs.
