Still such a good am4 cpu. good for the price and gaming

The best CPU out there in the market for the price with no doubt! Thank to best buy I also was discounted a birthday % off. Love this store and will always purchase from them. CPU is currently paired with a 3060ti, pretty much runs everything you want to throw at it!

Awesome performance on a budget. Great for really any use.

5600X is a great cpu for gaming. Upgraded from a 1600 AF to this cpu and noticed a significant performance increase. Used to play Destiny 2 with a 2060 super at 90 fps at 1080p with the 1600 AF and switching to the 5600X fps increased to 120-130 fps. This CPU is the best bang for buck esepcially if its on sale.

Great CPU that can handle whatever I throw at it, mostly used for gaming though. It's great bang for your buck. The included wraith stealth cooler isn't the best though, it had my base cpu temps at 60+C which isn't terrible but a little too toasty for my comfort when not under load. The hyper evo 212 cooler dropped my temps by 12ish C for about 40$ so i'd reccomend a better cooler than what's included.

AMD has been amazing. I’ve mixed a GeForce RTX with an AMD chip and it’s perfect :)

Six core cpu that really puts in the work to produce a great pc experience. Paired it with a 3080 and makes a nice little gaming setup. Stock cooler is fine and works however I am running it on an AIO NZXT 240mm water cooler. Temps stay cool and performs well and recommended for those looking to get started gaming.

Great processor, game runs smoothly. It was easy to put in as well.

I just upgraded from 1600 to this CPU and it is a beast when comparing with my old CPU. I use Asus Tuf Gaming X570 Plus Wifi and ran into a little issue with the BIOS. The motherboard had old BIOS version and I had to flash it to the latest in able to POST. I was looking for 5800x or 5900x but the price difference made me pick 5600. This is the new rig for my kid and she's happy.

Great CPU for gaming even greater value when it is discounted.

Great processor. Fast and efficient. The newly released 5600 is less expensive and a better value. But if you can't find that this is minimally better.

Amazing Cpu especially when paired with a 3060 ti. Best bang for your buck imo

The 5600x is the best performance/price combo of Zen3 and runs extremely cool. At 65w, you could even get away with a tiny air cooler. This makes it viable and optimal for an SFF build. It performs amazingly well too. If you are playing at 4k, it is unlikely you'll notice a real world difference between this and much more expensive CPUs.

This CPU is amazing. Runs pretty cool and runs games at full FPS when paired with a 30-series GPU. Ended up upgrading to a 5900x but that is because I wanted the extra cores for work related items, but for gaming and some mild workloads this is a fantastic choice!

This a great beginner processor or mid class processor for budget, got it paired with a amd rx 6600 and 1tb ssd, i get 120fps on elden ring 1080p and about the same for warframe

I upgraded from Ryzen 2600, this thing is light-years faster and better preforming in virtually every way possible. I was hesitant due to the reviews saying this chip ran hot, so far that hasn't been the case for me. I'm getting better temps than I had with the 2600. That being said I am using a cooler master fan. This chip is well worth the money.

They say 6 cores is all you need for gaming and that is true. But you might find yourself wanting just a little bit more performance. Especially if you are a multi-tasker or dual monitor user. I run dual monitors with a game on one monitor while playing youtube on the other. It's definitely doable on this processor but I found myself needing a bit more to get a smoother experience. If you're on a tight budget, then this will get the job done. But if you can afford a bit more, definitely go for the 5700x or even the 5900x

Great CPU for a great price. One of the best value CPU’s out there. Never had any issues with it. Bought it for a friend who never has had a pc before and he loves it. It can handle all the load he wants pretty easily.

If you're looking for a processor thats about middle ground performance for a good price, this is the processor for you. Paired with my 3060 I can run most games on Ultra settings. Need a little extra performance boost? No problem! AMD offers the AMD Ryzen Master Software on their website that allows you to enable auto-overclocking when it needs it.

Good price and perfect for gaming and other tasking projects.
