## Description

From the manufacturer

Review: Exceeds Expectation , a heavy duty piece of silicon - I was waiting for the price of 16 core Ryzen to drop ( drastically ) , but then this ryzen 9 , 12 core was offered at an attractive price. (Very ) Easy install into [ASUS-TUFGaming-B450-Plus-II] mobo, with a stock wraith cooler, with two M2 drives , and 64 GB or RAM ( which is the max supported by this board) . The mobo required a bios update to support this, then everything just worked. First thing, I do not use this for gaming ( and my graphics card is several years old anyway ) , primarily for development business software purposes. Installed windows 11 x64 without any issues. The CPU runs at idle for the background tasks, with average CPU core temperature between 50 - 55 degrees centigrade. Installed sql server 2022 from the M2 drive. This took less than 5 minutes, which is incredible, as this process typically takes over 30 minutes . Installing other business development tools was completed in record time, although this is aided hugely by the M2 drives ( 3.5GB / s allegedly ) . If you want to really take advantage of the capabilities of this CPU, you need M2 drives , not spinny disks, otherwise the CPU will spend much of its life in a wait state for data. Installed Asus Armoury crate which provides comprehensive feedback on the hardware. The CPU runs between 3.5 - 4.5 Ghz ( does not really matter that much with this many cores) . For the price, cannot fault the processor The one thing that is a minor issue is windows 11, which does not always play nicely with drivers. By default need to install all the supplied drivers from asus ( including bios updates ) , then should be okay. So far, this is the smoothest processor that I have installed, and I have used AMD for several years now Would recommend ( if you can purchase from a reputable vendor , rather than stock pilers )

## Questions & Answers

**Q: I tried water cooling but when i poured water on my pc it doesnt turn on. is this not compatible with water cooling? i also submerged the entire pc.**
A: The suggestion below of using VOS water from a Glass bottle just won't help. Don't get me wrong it is an ultra classy way to water cool but it won't help your framerates... What you need is to Jetwash the CPU, just go to town and fire the water everywhere. The CPU will be so intimidated by your water cooling prowess that it will run Doom Eternal 4K Ultra Nightmare at 1000FPS with no GPU installed. Intimidation is the key!

**Q: I paid £540 for my 5900X. This scalper price of £800 is insane and these practices should be made illegal.**
A: Current price is £382 as of 25th July 2021. So it’s halved in price in 6 months on Amazon. Great value now.

**Q: Is this a scam? Why the £200.54 delivery fee?**
A: Check who is selling it - there’s many scalpers selling for £200+ over RRP

**Q: Does this processor come with the code for far cry 6 in the box or is it sent out by amazon, how would i go about getting the code?**
A: Yes, you'll get an email from amazon shortly after you buy the CPU. Then you must run an AMD system check to confirm you have installed the CPU and the game is yours....at least it will be when it releases in 2021.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ High Quality CPU
*by D***K on 22 August 2025*

Good cpu. High stability and zero problems so far (after 2 years of daily use, about 10-12 hours per day). Good for all games I've tried out, both older titles and new tiple A games. I also do a lot of editing in both Photoshop and Premiere Pro and it works great in both; very few stutters and the extra core count helps when having multiple different editing suites open at once.
