Quality5 out of 5Value5 out of 5Ease of Use5 out of 5Upgraded from the ryzen 5 1600 and couldn't be happier. All cores boost to 4.6 stock. I have zero throttling issues with my kraken cooler. Highly recommend if you can get your hands on one.

Amazing performance for a reasonable price!

Quality5 out of 5Value4 out of 5Ease of Use5 out of 5Pros mentioned:Performance, PriceThis CPU is amazing! Out of the box performance is absolutely incredible. For only $300, you get a top of the line cpu, a cooler for it, and a lovely case badge (really a fancy sticker). Ryzen Master overclocked this card automatically to 4.7 GHz running a scythe mugen cooler and max temps seen are 78C. Average load is 65C and idle is 35C. Cinebench R23 score was 11393 points.

The best CPU for you money/performance!

Quality5 out of 5Value5 out of 5Ease of Use5 out of 5Pros mentioned:Performance, PriceI just build a new PC with this beast... I can't say how happy I am. It runs so much faster than my previous one. Go for AMD CPUs! No regrat. Nevertheless, be ready to do BIOS updates. Make yourself a favor: get one of those MoBos with BIOS flash button.

Faster than Apple M1!

Quality5 out of 5Value5 out of 5Ease of Use5 out of 5Pros mentioned:For gamesUpgraded from Ryzen 3 1200. Compatible with ASRock B450M Pro4 after the latest BIOS update (4.60). The benchmark scores are higher than Apple M1 in single core, which is great for gaming and media applications. Stock cooler had ~85°C running at 4.15 GHz without overclocking. A 3rd-party cooler is highly recommended. I paired it with ID-Cooling SE-224-XT and now it has max temperature of 66°C (default) and 80°C (Auto OC).

Amazing bang for buck cpu
|Posted .Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.Features
Quality5 out of 5Value5 out of 5Ease of Use5 out of 5This cpu is perfect for gaming and it’s a good bang for the buck cpu compared to the other options (it comes with a cpu cooler) the only problem is that it is in high demand and is out of stock at the time of writing this but best buy has a perfect system for bots compared to other retailers (amazon). I was a little disappointed when my 5600x came with broken pins but i’m going to blame whoever shipped it and not best buy. I have no doubt that i will be able to get my hands on a new 5600x in no time!

Stock up please

Quality5 out of 5Value5 out of 5Ease of Use5 out of 5Like seriously, if you are on the AMD platform do yourself a favor BUY THIS CHIP (whenever it is in stock, that is). Things go out of stock for a reason. That should be a clue that it is worth your time. So next time you see it--Snag it, especially if you're a gamer on 1080p or 1440p.

Q: Questionhi i buy intel for my son or this?
Asked by joemama.
- A:Answer This chip makes much more sense than an Intel 10th gen. It has a higher IPC than Intel's 10th gen, up to 20% in productivity apps and about 5% higher average in gaming. A much better choice for future proofing than Intel's current offerings.

Q: QuestionDoes this currently support the B450 M motherboard?
Asked by MalakEbayuser.
- A:Answer Mobo makers are suppose to offer a new BIOS starting in Jan. '21 so that the earlier 400 series mobos can run the Ryzen 5000 series CPUs. You should contact your mobo maker to confirm a BIOS is on the way.

Q: QuestionWhen will this CPU be in stock? I have been searching for websites that have been in stock with this specific CPU, but only Best Buy has it consistently in stock
Asked by DoubleDstrktion.
- A:Answer Restocks are pretty random, BestBuy tends to throw up their items between 10AM and 2pm CST from my experience. I was able to purchase a couple RTX 3080's as well as this 5600x from Bestbuy without too much of a hassle.

Q: QuestionIs this CPU compatible with x570 motherboards right out of the box? Specifically the MSI MAG X570 TOMAHAWK WIFI ATX board. I'm not familiar with the BIOS and doing what is needed to get the CPU to work.
Asked by DrippyBanjo.
- A:Answer Most 500 series motherboards have to have a bios update, but most of them have Q flash capability which make it easier (ive done this by just downloading the bios update from motherboard manufacturer and putting it on a thumb drive). Some motherboards even have a Q flash button on the board itself which is very convenient. To be safe though, check in your boards manual, there will almost certainly be instructions on how to update the bios.
