    I upgraded from a ryzen 5 2600 and this cpu has already made a massive difference in performance Warzone was beginning to become unplayable on my old cpu this increased the performance dramatically the only problem with it so far is it runs pretty hot with the stock cooler so I would definitely look into getting a better cpu cooler.

    Very pleased with this processor. Paired it with a low to mid-range discrete graphics card and I'm playing my favorite games on high settings with zero lag or stutters. Didn't install the stock cooler but from what I hear and past experience with other AMD coolers, I would assume it too is great. Strongly endorse this chip if you're just getting into PC gaming or looking for a good upgrade to an older setup.

    Look, if you need this, it works as intended. Trust. It's an AMD CPU, Very efficient and at a good value. Currently using this alongs side my graphics card to hit 60fps @1080p.

    Runs most games great, can even handle Star Citizen on lower settings. If you don't want to shell out more for a Ryzen 7, this will still work fine for most 1080p gaming and some light 2k gaming when paired with a decent GPU.

    Delivering noticeable performance increases over Zen 2's 3600 at a comparable price, AMD's Ryzen 5 5600X is a solid upgrade for budget builders who can afford to spend a little bit more for the latest generation of CPUs. *Note* Be aware of the BIOS configuration of your motherboard before installing Zen 3 CPUs; some may require BIOS updates.

    Excellent drop in upgrade to my AM4 system. The system was up and running in less than an hour. Much faster than the Ryzen 5 2400G it replaced. The free copy of Uncharted on Steam was the tipping point for me though. I had planned to get the game anyway so that made the cost of this upgrade an incredible deal.
