    Bought this to make up for a PC I helped my friend with that ended up failing. This has been working great for him just like the 5600X I bought a couple years back has, and I haven't had any complaints from him since. Only thing I don't like is that the stock cooler doesn't use the standard mounting tabs that are preinstalled on boards, and it is a little wacky to get the screws to thread in.

    Its response on startups, programs download and installs were great. Even with the setup that I have the performance is really great.

    Excellent upgrade for my buddy's old Ryzen 2600 setup! If you're building a PC from scratch, go with the 7000 series or later, so your motherboard has a few generations of upgradability, but if you're already on AM4 and don't have much to spend, this is a good upgrade from the lower 1000 and 2000 series chips!

    Bought this for my girlfriend’s PC build, she has been having such an awesome time with it. It delivers the power needed for games, especially does newer titles. If I ever decide to build another beginner friendly build, for sure going to get this chip again

    Does everything I need it to do in a medium-build gaming pc. Paired with an RX580 it slaps at 1080p. Do yourself a favor and pick this up, especially if it's on sale!

    Ive been building pc's for myself and friends for years and ive always tend to use the same cpu for how great it works and the low budget point makes it even more enticing of a choice I use this cpu in my own pc and its been a tank for the last 6 years. For anyone looking for great preformance without spending there whole budget this cpu is perfect

    An excellent upgrade for an older AM4+ motherboard

    It is a superb value for a CPU that mates well with my Gigabyte AB350N gaming Wifi motherboard. It does not support PCIe 4.0 but those 350 era MBs don't support it either. Performance bump of over 30% from the Ryzen 1600 it replaced. AND it makes my old rig Windows 11 compatible. However, I don't like the cooler. Too hard to install. Aftermarket tower coolers are much easier to install. Hence the one star less in ease of use.

    Bought it for my cousins birthday, massive performance bump over an i3 7100, allowed his rx 580 to utilize its full power, plus with SAM, the power is even better, pairing AMD with AMD in dual channel 360mhz and with driver updates, he’s got a solid setup for 1080p gaming

    Solid processor, upgraded from a first Gen Ryzen 7 and the improvement in speed was very noticeable. So far, so good; no issues with installation or use; and would recommend to anyone planning on using this for every day use.
