QuestionIs this compatible with a Nvidia GeForce GTX 760?
Asked 3 years ago by Mason.

QuestionDoes unlocked mean that it is overclocked? Is there a way to underclock it so it doesn't reach past 4ghz?
Asked 3 years ago by CuriousGeorgeTheThird.
- Answer Unlocked means it can be overclocked. You can lock the processor to whatever speed you like but i don't know why you would want to limit it. If you fully load all cores it won't boost beyond 4.0ghz on each core anyway.

QuestionIs this CPU compatible with the GEForce GTX 1650 graphics card?
Asked 3 years ago by anon.
- Answer Yes You can mix and match invidia GPUs and AMD CPUs! No worries your fine but make sure your running a board that has a AM4 socket. Your question likely means your running a intel cpu and you’ll need to buy a new Motherboard if you are! The ASUS TUF 570 is my go to!

QuestionWould this computer work with the oculas qwest 2?
Asked 4 years ago by Niecy.
- Answer This is a processor for a computer not a computer and I believe the oculus guest two is a standalone VR that does not need a PC/laptop but you can buy a cable and connect it to a VR ready system if you would like to!

Questioni currently have the r5 3600 and mostly game and running a rtx 2080 ti xc ultra would this be a good upgrade and worth the money. ps. a noticable upgrade.
Asked 4 years ago by freakdaddy.
- Answer I personally would not consider upgrading from R5 3600 to R5 5600X unless you play a lot of CPU intensive games (simulation, RTS, etc), do a lot of things that are CPU intensive, or are ultra competitive in online gaming. The ~20% IPC uplift of 5000 series is real, but it is not going to make a huge difference to most people or gamers compared to the prior gen.

QuestionI have a Gigabyte B450 mobo and Ryzen 2600, I mainly want to upgrade CPU for gaming emulation, will this be much better than my 2600 and will it work with my b450 mobo?
Asked 4 years ago by Mandi10.
- Answer your motherboard should support a 3600 without issues, look for motherboard bios updates in the manufacturer website if any issue arise but i doubt there's any issue with that motherboard processor combination

QuestionWhen will this product be back in stock?
Asked 4 years ago by Bread.
- Answer It's back in stock. It's actually kind of funny because I have a 5600X, but I was kind of wishing that I'd gone with the 5900X because my 5600X took longer than I expected to compress a 4K file. Yet, the 5900X and 5950X are sold out, while I believe the reverse was true on Launch Day with the 5600X being very difficult to buy due to its very understandable popularity; if I had gone with the 5900X, I probably would have been able to buy it much earlier in the day.

QuestionCan u order these cpu online or do you have to go into the store to get them?
Asked 4 years ago by JangoMango.
- Answer The 5600x can only be ordered online. You can either do regular shipping or in-store pickup and hope there is a best buy relatively nearby. Unless the closest best buy is really far (like more than 2 hours away) I would recommend in-store pickup.
