I have been an AMD fan for ever.
I have been using AMD Ryzen 3 2200G switching to AMD Ryzen 7 5700X
To remove a CPU cooler (fan/heat sink) release the cooler's screws (or lever)
then gently pull up while rotating back and forth.
I have been using Ryzen 3 processors in the last fwe years, but have decided to
move up to Ryzen 7 5700X.
The primary caveat about moving from Ryzen 3 2200 to Ryzen 7 5700X is
the 7 needs a higher capacity cooler. At lease 65W

The AMD Ryzen 7 5800 is a desktop processor with 8 cores, launched in
January 2021. It is part of the Ryzen 7 lineup, using the Zen 3 (Vermeer)
architecture with Socket AM4. Thanks to AMD Simultaneous Multithreading
(SMT) the core-count is effectively doubled, to 16 threads. Ryzen 7 5800 has
32 MB of L3 cache and operates at 3.4 GHz by default, but can boost up to
4.6 GHz, depending on the workload. AMD is making the Ryzen 7 5800 on a 7 nm
production node using 4,150 million transistors. The silicon die of the chip
is not fabricated at AMD, but at the foundry of TSMC. You may freely adjust
the unlocked multiplier on Ryzen 7 5800, which simplifies overclocking
greatly, as you can easily dial in any overclocking frequency.
With a TDP of 65 W, the Ryzen 7 5800 consumes typical power levels for a
modern PC. AMD's processor supports DDR4 memory with a dual-channel
interface. The highest officially supported memory speed is 3200 MT/s, but
with overclocking (and the right memory modules) you can go even higher. ECC
memory is supported, too, which is an important capability for mission
-critical systems, to avoid data corruption. For communication with other
components in the machine, Ryzen 7 5800 uses a PCI-Express Gen 4 connection.
This processor does not have integrated graphics, you will need a separate
graphics card.
Hardware virtualization is available on the Ryzen 7 5800, which greatly
improves virtual machine performance. Programs using Advanced Vector
Extensions (AVX) can run on this processor, boosting performance for
calculation-heavy applications. Besides AVX, AMD is including the newer AVX2
standard, too, but not AVX-512.
