Best bang for your buck. Its a solid cpu for its price.

I got this as an upgrade since i was still on a 5th gen i7 and i have no complaints on it. I am able to run games that wasnt able to on my pervious set up.

Used for gaming primarily at 1440p. Was able to undervolt and oc to get a cinebench r23 score of 11814 on multi core. Runs cod and bf 2042 without a hitch. Granted it’s paired with a 3080 and 32gb of 3200 ram cl16. Just know oc the cpu is a lil different. Do your research on curve optimizer, pbo and auto oc.

Recently upgraded from a 3rd gen core i7 setup that recently died and was blown away by the performance boost.

solid processor, handles all the games with ease. solid performance in editing too

Good CPU for price, affordable good processor for the price

Can't believe the performance boost I got. I came from a 2200g to a 5600x and it's great. And the silicone lottery was kind to me giving me well over advertised boost speeds. Mind it with an aftermarket tower cooler.

This is a fantastic CPU. Like all modern CPUs, it runs hot but the included cooler does the job. This uses the AM4 slot and AMD is moving away from that. AMD and Intel announced great new products in early 2022 which will probably make this processor obsolete, but it was a powerhouse for its time.

Fantastic price to performance. Performs wonderfully in every game/benchmark I tested Only con is not with the processor itself, but rather the stock cooler. Not terrific but passable. 5/5 cpu for non ultra high end builds

Found it on sale for nearly half off and it comes included with a wraith cooler adding even more savings to the already great price.

Upgrade complete! This is a huge upgrade from my Ryzen 3, and pairs well with my 5600 gpu. Not the cheapest but mid tier worth it!

Upgraded an older computer I had along with a mobo and gpu. Coming from an ol FX-6300, this cpu has plently of oomph and handles games and Win11 with ease

The Zen 3 CPU architecture is amazing and the jump from Ryzen 5 3600 is noticeable pair it with a 30 series or 6000 series and you can conquer any modern title. Hopefully you can snag it for retail like I did.

If you're fishing in cyber world, Ryzen will always be a honorable mention if not the go to when it comes to their product. If you're building, don't cheat yourself by not moving with this brand.

Pretty good cpu for gaming and basic web browsing for the price! Just be sure your motherboard BIOS supports this cpu model.

Incredible performance for a budget build. AMD cannot be beat right now. No need to spend 500 on the 5900x or even more for a 5950x. I plow through my 4K workflows on Adobe premiere and after effects with ease after coming from a 9th gen intel

This cpu is prettu good for early games on a new pc, especially if you are looking to play the non-high title games, and if you pair this with Radeon RX 6600. Perfect

Upgraded from a Ryzen3 3200g. It's night and day. Great product.

Temperatures are able to keep low while not being a bottleneck with an RTX 3060Ti. The included box cooler isn’t impressive and I used a Noctua instead. It has limited overclocking or undervolting. Power consumption would nearly double for on 2-300 MHz.

These last few months of getting new components and tech have been tough. Trying to search for pc components felt like a job. Lucky Bestbuy had a queue system and I finally made the cut. Overall not much to say about the 5600x which most people know from reviews and benchmarks. It's at affordable price and perform great in gaming. Just few fps off from $500 plus cpu in gaming benchmarks. If you are not needing the extra cores for multitasking or work loads. 5600x should be enough for a quite awhile, till am5 platform or whatever comes out later.
