Q: QuestionWill this run MS Paint @ 4k with Ultra settings?(6 answers)
A: AnswerNo. It's better to wait for Rocket Lake-S or even Zen 4.Answered by Cons
- A: AnswerThe 5000 series processors and 3000/6000 series gpus are all pick up only because it stops scalpers from buy them, and getting them shipped to their place without any actual human proof. Basicity to stop scalpers from scalping cards
Answered by Imageric
- A: AnswerFrom past experienced drops, they seem to come in Tuesday or Wednesday between 10am - 1pm Eastern. So far it has been two back to back Tuesdays and it's every other week. When you see add to cart, just be patient and don't refresh.

- A: AnswerDon't go with the 3900x, wait for a retail 5900x if you can - Don't let your urges send you into the Scalper pit...

Q: QuestionWhat is the best dip to go with this chip?(7 answers)
A: AnswerArtic Mx4 is pretty goodAnswered by tomuchdiponyourchip
- A: AnswerAMD did spec the Wraith Prism cooler for use with the 3900X(same wattage) so it's doable, however, I would say it's less than optimal if you expect the full performance of the processor for any significant length of time.
Answered by DanTheman
- A: AnswerGiven that raw components such as processors are not BB's bread and butter, they most likely don't get a large allotment. I'd be surprised if we are able to get one here. I have several sites that I check periodically during the day and they never show in stock either.

A: AnswerThey do not. I offered to pay in advanced and they said they don't do waiting lists or prepays.Answered by Goobee

An absolute POWERHOUSE!
After needing an upgrade from my 3600x, I decided to go with this guy, and all I have to say is WOW! I had to COMPLETELY overhaul the components in my PC because of this guy- it's a powerhouse. Between a new MOBO, AIO, and even GPU- All so it wouldn't be bottlenecked by this beast of a CPU. It's a great processor if you're gaming/editing/streaming, though if you're purely gaming, the 5800x3D is a great option as well. TLDR- If you need an upgrade for gaming/editing/streaming, you won't be disappointed.

A monster 12 Core CPU for only $299
The AMD Radeon 9 5900X is 12 Core, 24 Thread processor. It’s great for both gaming & content creation. My processor is revision (B) boosting to 5.25GHz on a high performance air cooler. With a 23,000 CB R23 multi core score. I’ve seen 147 watts & 79 degrees (C) with 10 minute CB R23 stress test. My motherboard is the Gigabyte B550 Vision D-P. I would recommend the AMD R9 5900X to family & friends.

AMD Finally Back On Top!
AMD continues to impress. This CPU is amazing! The 5900X absolutely blows the Intel i9 10900k out of the water when it comes to productivity and can trade blows when it comes to gaming (something Intel generally excels at). It's so nice to finally see AMD competitive w/ Intel again. The Ryzen 5000 series processors are a big step up in architecture from the previous generation (3000 series), especially when it comes to gaming, better CCX efficiency, and improved IPC (instructions per cycle). The only con I can even think of is that these do tend to run rather hot, especially compared to Intel CPU's. Though it's not really a con since AMD has stated that it's expected that these can peak at 98°C without issue. Throwing on a decent cooling setup is highly recommended. I run an Arctic Freezer II 360mm AIO and temps generally range from roughly 37-38°C @ idle to 68-72°C @ load. Having said all that, this processor is in extremely high demand & will be very hard to come by @ retail prices. If you can eventually get your hands on one, even at a slight ~$50 mark-up from MSRP, I would still recommend buying it. You most definitely will not be disappointed with your purchase! =)
