    Upgraded from 2700x to a 5600x. At the price point it’s an obvious upgrade. It’s been great for gaming and doesn’t bottle neck the 3080 it’s paired with. If you can get this at MSRP it’s a no brainer. Note: I had to flash my b450 board (steel legend) in order to use this CPU.

    Bought this cpu for my kids gaming pc. For the price point its best bang for the buck for what they need. Performs just as good as the 5800x and 5900x in my opinion. Boosting up to 4.7 on a b550 board. Paired with a 6800 and 3600 cl16 memory and has no issues in games.

    Very impressed by the speed and also the low heat it generates. I coupled it with a Noctua NH-U14S which seems overkill but is very silent. I didn't try to overclocked it.

    These new 5000 series AMD processors are fantastic and a huge upgrade from the last generation. This CPU works great with all of the latest games like Call of Duty. I'm glad I made this purchase and BestBuy does a great job of blocking bots from buying these highly-desired items.

    I had already puchased an AMD 3600 with knowing I would eventually upgrade into the 5000 series. This product was prefect once it went on sale for $159. Hopefully, GPU prices will also come down soon so I can upgrade from a 3060 to a 3070ti without breaking the bank.

    Was a nice upgrade to my Ryzen 3800X. Got everything running at max bus rates now... 7nm Vermeer (Zen 3) 65W, windows 11 ready, and comes with a fan (big plus for me)! All you really need for gaming unless you just have plenty of money to blow...

    I got this when it was on a very decent sale, and I'm very glad that I did. I was upgrading from a Ryzen 3 2300X, and the performance increase is very noticeable. 100% worth the upgrade

    Flawless, bought this to upgrade from my Ryzen 5 3600. I was very happy with my prior CPU and this one gets the job done beautifully. My usage is mainly web browsing, some downloads and some gaming

    Easy to install. Just required a Bios update with an ASUS tuf gaming x570 mobo. Processor runs great. The stock cooler keeps it around 50 degrees Celsius and around 70 under load. I eventually upgraded cooler and now it idles around 30 degrees and is about 50-60 while gaming.
