    Excellent CPU, and for under $100 you can't beat it. I paired it with an RX 6700 XT and I've seen no bottle necks playing at high settings. I also bought a Thermalright Peerless Assassin and the CPU hasn't gone above 65⁰C! Definitely recommend!

    Well worth it for a great budget build

    Purchased this specifically for a budget VR gaming system, paired with an Nvidia 3060 Ti and 16GB system RAM. Have no issues playing Half Life: Alyx on Ultra settings with an HP Reverb G2, haven't tried much else yet, but I'm sure it will handle it fine. The lack of PCIe 4 support makes no difference to me in this use case, as PCIe 3 is plenty fast enough for gaming, and I have this running in a cheap A520 board which doesn't support PCIe 4 anyways. Considering I bought this for less than $85, and it was close to $50 less than a Ryzen 5 5600 at the time, this CPU was well worth the purchase!

    Been gaming on this 5500 and so far my bottleneck has been my rx 7600. Still wish I got the 5600 or 5600x.
