    AMD does it once again

    Great overall chip for a good price. I upgraded from a R5 3600 after a PSU failure and got this on sale ($200 at the time). Works well as both my gaming and software dev rig. Pros: + Performance uplift of Zen 4 is noticeable in single core and multi-core workloads + Good price point for 6 cores + Little guy loves to boost + PCI-e Gen 5 + Doesn't run as hot as the other AM5 chips + Very stable with EXPO'd RAM at 6000MHz + No X3D cache, so no scheduling issues. + Good efficiency. + Stays cool during idle + iGPU. Not really needed when you have a dedicated one, but its pretty performant. Cons: - While AM5 increases the amount of PCI-e lanes, I still find it to be a limiting factor for anything containing more than 1 GPU... my own personal gripe I guess... - Likes to run hot. Anytime a sustained workload gets placed on it, it will keep boosting until it reaches TJMax. Not a problem if you have a good cooler (ps. thermalright has some cheap ones that can handle the power). - Want EXPO speeds above 6000 MHz? Too bad. - AM5 motherboards will run you a pretty penny. Different socket than AM4. However, AMD claims they will support it for a while, so maybe its worth it.

    Fantastic CPU and lightning fast.

    Despite this being a mid range CPU, it is no slouch. I paired this with a 7700xt and it has handled everything thus far. Coming from Intel, it was an adjustment seeing the temps rise quickly under load. Seeing 85° C is normal during heavier loads. I put a Thermalright Assassin 120x on it for cooling and its temps are perfectly in range with what they should be. Highly recommend.

    AMD Ryzen 5 7600X review

    From research I've done, this is a great CPU for gaming. I haven't used it yet as I am still building my PC, but it will be used soon once it's all fully built and running! Can't wait to be able to use it! Thank you, Best Buy of South County STL! I will give another review once the PC is fully built!
