    So far so good. My son built his own computer and this was his number one choice. He is very happy and says it's an amazing processor.

    With the shortage of Ryzen 3 3300x I needed an alternative. Sadly this is more expensive, but the extra cores and processing is GREAT. Not sure it's $70 better, but I'd buy it again. And the PC build is finished because this was in stock. The stock cooling fan is VERY good!

    Great price and great performance. I use it for some mid level gaming, tripple A games and paired it with a 3060 and i have no complaints. If you want a solid performer without breaking the bank this was a good fit. The included fan is pretty quiet too!

    Super fast CPU, easy to install. I love how the thermal paste is already on the cooing fan so I don't have to try to spread it on myself! Not 100% sure the included fan is good enough though and I may need to get aftermarket to keep it cool enough.

    Got this because the 5600X is no where to be found. Already built one gaming system with this on a X570 with a RX580. Runs cool with on air. Planning future upgrade to an 8-core Zen 3 in the future

    I thought with it only having 6 cores the processor would be the bottle neck in my system, instead now it's my graphics cards. They are topping out and there is lots of headroom left in the processor.

    Finally,AMD is making a worthy CPU after years of silence. This is my first AMD build for about 8 years and the CPU is fast. I upgraded from an i7 and am not looking back. Working on buying another one for me as this was for a new build for my wife.

    Another impressive product from AMD. This company has been WOW'ing me for the past 2 decades. Great performance was always their schtick but now it's the "Greatest" performing line of silicon products money can buy.

    Used this for my first computer build and it is running great! Paired it with an Asus Tuf Gaming X570-Plus motherboard to allow for future growth. This is a great CPU for the money, giving great performance without breaking the bank.
