Customer Ratings & Reviews

Great new CPU if you can get one. Really great performance for the price. Hits higher than it's price point and can take on some more expensive intel cpus. So far really happy as it's taken anything I can throw at it.

So far so goog i push this cpu to the limit and it hold on very nice and for the price is excelent

AMD hit it out of the park with this series. For a pure gaming setup with some light photoshop and rendering on the side, the 5600x will be your best bang for your buck !

As far as I am concerned, this is the perfect CPU for a gaming PC. Sure, you could spend a lot more for a few more FPS, but that money would be better spent on buying a more powerful video card.

One of the best CPUs I have used for gaming. I have mine paired with the sapphire 6750xt and have yet to have any issues running anything.

It is an awesome cpu. 6 core, 12 thread and very good value for a gaming setup. Upgraded a customers pc that was running a 1600x, what a big difference.

This CPU is fantastic. It went into a nice budget gaming build, and runs everything very well. I highly recommend for a nice budget cpu

This cpu is awesome. I was lucky to be able to purchase this for my first pc build. I have it overclocked and it performs really well in pc games and for work. You will need an aftermarket cooler for overclocking. Any cheap cooler will work way better than the stock cooler

For the price it can not get better. Perfect for gaming and every day tasks

My brother has been wanting to build a PC. Got him this for his birthday, definitely made his day! It's a good CPU and perfect for someone on a budget (but probably not for someone on a tight budget) but wants good gaming performance.

Still a decent processor in 2023 for 1080p 60hz or faster gaming when paired with a 20 series Nvidia RTX card or Amd 6000 series card. For gaming go with 16gb memory or more. Can also be counted on for productivity applications when needed,but wont win any awards in 2023. Stock Waith fan and heatsink descent, but gaming can yield 80c or higher. Aftermarket heatsink fan combo would be better but stock works in a pinch. Cpu can withstand about 90c before TJ max starts to take affect. Good cpu for descent gaming and basic productivity and video streaming when paired correctly with gpu.

good value for a fast processor. price for performance makes the 5600 x a better value than 5800 x

I got this at around $175. At that price there is nothing better. Using for gaming and streaming. Computer never stutters.

I highly recommend this cpu for anyone looking to build a budget gaming pc it puts out really well i highly recommend

It was the best price-to-performance ratio that I could find at that time. This setup performs exceptionally well not only for gaming but also for everyday tasks like watching videos on YouTube and streaming content on Twitch. It really handles both types of activities with ease, making it a great choice for anyone looking to get the most value for their money.

Amazing CPU cant go wrong with Zen 3. Love how good my games play after upgraded from a zen 1

Unbeatable performance for gaming, excellent thermals, the IPC uplift is pretty amazing. Wish I could buy one more, they're still hard to come by.

CPU barely breaks a sweat and allows the 3080 to fully utilize and it doesn’t cost that much

Served me well in its 3-ish years of service, got a new pc and no longer need it, never bottlenecked my system and performed amazing with overclocking.

With 6 cores and 12 threads, this CPU fills most needs starting with gaming, to other computing needs. AMD has finally caught up and even surpassed Intel. This unit is not exactly cheap, but you get a fast and powerful CPU for what you pay. Most software (other than very specialized processing) does not use more cores/threads than this CPU offers, so it will be fine to use for some time. Nice of AMD to stay with the same socket for a bit, make sure your motherboard supports this CPU (may be an issue with older B450 motherboards, where you may need an older generation CPU to update the BIOS first). Do not like the heatsink/fan that comes with it, seems to be not powerful enough for the job, I bought an aftermarket cooler, so factor that price in as well if you want to cool your investment adequately.
