Nice CPU shame about the packaging (AMD bad, naughty AMD)
Great Ryzen product. Going from a 3600XT to the 5700X was quite a nice jump in performance at a reasonable price. AMD should sort out their packaging though, as there is no need for a box that is made for a CPU and cooler when you are only buying the CPU, I would not mind so much if a cardboard filler was inside, but no just lots of plastic. The CPU itself had no issues at all, the ASUS X570 motherboard had the original BIOS installed and still the CPU was recognised and worked flawlessly. The BIOS was updated to the latest a few hours later, but no real difference was seen in performance or stability.
The CPU was purchased for my 2nd PC that is mostly used by my partner to play Rust with friends on discord, or watch rubbish on gootube. It loads up a little quicker, and a few FPS was added to the overall game play, again nothing really significant, but the power usage and overall performance of the PC is noticeable.
