Ah yep, second hand but lightly used, month old supposedly.
May yet turn out to be a box of rocks though

Well it's definitely a 5950x and not rocks thankfully
Will install and test it out tonight. Fingers crossed it's all good.
3900x will be going to the members market

Now I've sorted out my temperature issues, caused by an aging AIO, I'll be able to do some proper testingRunning a 3900X here. Would love to hear your thoughts once you have experimented with the 5950X a bit.
First impressions are it is definitely a superior CPU, not night and day better, but worth picking up if you can get one for a good price and want to extend the life of your am4 setup a bit.
