"...after having much success with previous Ryzen processors and it came broken...." Read more

"...However, when it arrived that packaging was badly damaged to the point that I was worried that one of the pins could be damaged...." Read more

Super Fast Multi-tasker, Runs COOL with Proper Heatsink
5 Stars
Super Fast Multi-tasker, Runs COOL with Proper Heatsink
New System build.. Ryzen 9 5900X, MSI Tomahawk MB, 550, 64GB 3200mhz RAM (Yes I actually utilize it with AI language models!), MSI Nvidia 4070 (yeah its a beast) andx 2 1TB M.2 SSDS. The power supply is a 650watt gold PSU. The COOLER is a AK620 Digital. The install looked intimidating but I had it running very quickly. For AMD cpus, the parts bag contains tons of useless Intel parts, which makes it look intimidating at first. Just remember to torque bolts in sequence, apply thermal paste correctly and use CLEAN fingers or better yet powder free latex gloves handling parts if you are really particular. The motherboard did NOT require flashing. It just did it all by its self, literally, posted up, reset a couple times, loaded windows 11. I then had to download the new Nvidia drivers and the CPU cooler digital software and it was working perfectly. The Ryzen needed NOTHING except to reset my RAM speed back to 3200MHZ in the Bios. This things runs so fast with everything and the temps under load are running COOLER than my old 5600x with stock cooler. At idle its 32-35 degrees under load rendering with Stable diffusion and browsing web etc, its barely touching 70 degrees peak wattage maybe 75. Just get a quality cooler if your case has room!
