AMD Ryzen 7 5700X 8-Core, 16-Thread Unlocked Desktop Processor

Pure Beast for Dedicated Gaming!
I bought this processor in June 2023 as the main engine for my PC, and three years later I’m still super satisfied with its performance. It’s a powerful, fast, and extremely efficient CPU for all the tasks I’ve thrown at it, from demanding gaming to intense productivity work. It deserves 5 stars for its raw performance!Undeniable Power: The speed and responsiveness are fantastic. It pairs perfectly with my dedicated graphics card, eliminating bottlenecks and ensuring very high and consistent frame rates.Reliability: Since installation, it has worked without a single problem, maintaining stable temperatures under load and proving to be an extremely reliable component.Important Notice for Buyers! ⚠️It is essential to note that this version of the processor does NOT include integrated graphics (it does not have an iGPU).My recommendation:If, like me, you are building a PC where you prioritize the use of a dedicated graphics card 100% and don’t mind giving up the possibility of having video backup (in case your GPU fails), this processor is the ideal choice and will give you incredible performance.BUT, if you are one of those users who prefers to have that “safety net” of integrated graphics (to be able to start up the PC or diagnose if your dedicated card has problems), then you should look for the model with the suffix that does include them.

Gaming or working? This powerful CPU with amazingly low power consumption got you
High performance with a low power consumption. Great value for the price range. Really good for gaming or working and many times I do both at the same time.

Man it’s good. Helluva process installing it though.
Works great! First time upgrading my CPU myself. That being so, I naively forgot to check my BIOS version to see if it was supported. I have a ASRock B450 K4 Gaming motherboard, so if you do too, or have a motherboard just as old or older, check if the BIOS supports it, or at least if it needs to be updated to do so (even if it has the same CPU slot, it necessarily doesn’t mean it’ll support newer AM4 cards…something I was reminded of the hard way.)This is all by no means relevant to how the product works, but the saga of my experience goes as follows: So, I installed it, got in a boot loop, realized my mistake of not updating the BIOS. So I had to uninstall the CPU, grab my old CPU. Then realize my old AMD CPU was stuck to the heatsink…now I have to spend 45 minutes melting the old CPU’s thermal paste with a hair dryer (something I vowed never to do…but, desperate times…), put it back in my motherboard after finally getting it off, get extremely frustrated trying to install the new heatsink I bought over my old CPU cause the screws weren’t lining up, haul it back to my desk and plug all my cables back in when I finished, look up what BIOS version I needed, find a USB drive that was actually FAT32, download the file, boot to BIOS and do the Instant Flash, wait for 10 minutes, praying that the power didn’t go out and fry my motherboard…then when it was finally done I got into YET ANOTHER boot loop after the BIOS was updated. I then was panicked that the update indeed DID fry my motherboard. But, then I AGAIN had to unplug my pc and haul it to my other table to work on it..try and get to my CMOS battery to reset the BIOS, but in order to get to it I had to unscrew and take out my brand new GPU, then I take the CMOS out for a few minutes, put it back in, then install the new CPU as well to see if the new version just didn’t support the old CPU…boot it up, pray it’ll work, but it still didn’t show anything on the screen, but I don’t hear my drive and fans turning on and off anymore. Then I realize that it finally DID work, but in the end I just forgot to plug the PCIE power cable back into my GPU, which is why my monitor didn’t show anything… ROOKIE MISTAKE. I LOVE computers :,)But, the moral of the story is, this is a great CPU. Runs great, doesn’t overheat. And after everything I got a nice boost in performance from my old CPU (R5 3600), and now it shouldn’t bottleneck my GPU when I upgrade to a 1440p monitor. Just don’t be dumb like me. Or as naive as I was to think it would be a seamless process to upgrade my CPU. I love you, AMD. <3

Love to see it
I recently upgraded from a ryzen 5 3600 to a ryzen 7 5800XT. Wasn’t satisfied with how much performance I was getting while using 50%+ more power than the 5700X. Nexus has compared these chips and there is literally only a 1-5% difference at max that I guarantee you won’t even notice unless your really really really picky. Less power, less heat, longer lifespan not only on the chip but motherboards and coolers. I’m not saying the ryzen 7 5800X and XT aren’t good but the 5700X gives near identical performance using half the power of the 5800 family. Best value overall. I had no issues installing or with thermals.Update – One thing I forgot to mention is shipping. I was very close to returning and buying again because my package was half opened but the chip and the original packaging it comes with wasn’t damaged. Shipping was faster than expected even without prime shipping. I will say for a computer part, A CPU! The packaging isn’t secure, very little protection but somehow still ended up on my doorstep undamaged. My luck I guess, just a little mention.

I bought this because it supports ECC, too bad there’s no onboard graphics so you need to buy a cheap GPU.

Really like this cpu for my set up
