Very fast great CPU for gaming. Not too impressed with the cooler no rib? but at least it’s something to get you going. 3600 x probably just as good if you need to save money but if thinking about future upgrades get an x570 chipset board.

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!

I have no complaints so far. Nice upgrade from the 2600x I had installed in my set up. I can definitely see the difference in performance of many AAA titles I play.

Got this processor for a friend since it was so difficult to find. He loves the processor! Fast and efficient, as well as giving cool temperatures with a Hyper 212 RGB. Recommend it to those who are looking for a great value CPU from AMD.

This sought after CPU is the one you need for gaming! While it does handle other apps very well, it shines where gaming is concerned with better gaming performance than my son's Ryzen 9 3900x! If you need a gaming CPU, this is it!

Great CPU and the price was great. No complaints at all. I didn't want to change motherboards so I upgraded from a 3600X to a 5600X. No regrets. Just keep in mind you may need a bios update for the CPU to work properly.

Team one of these with an RX6650XT or RX7600, a brand name MATX mobo, and the PNY RAM available at Best Buy and you are on the way to affordable and reliable 1080P gaming on a budget.

Awesome Mid-range Gaming/Workstation Processor

Best mid-range gaming processor out there. Automatically turbo clocks to about 4.5-4.6 GHz. 6 cores with hyper threading is just about all you'll ever need for gaming, and AMD does it best at this price range.

I went from a 2700x all core overclocked 4.2ghz to this 5600x running PBO 200+ mhz and there is a huge difference in frame rates of VR games. I can run project cars 2 VR on almost all ultra settings with a rx 6800 video card never dropping below 90fps even with 30 cars in the race and rain.

Great AMD Platform Chip. If your into upgrading your rig, to smooth gaming in 1440p or High FPS with Low resolutions. This is a great Mid rande Chip for gaming and video editing.

I had a Ryzen 3600x and made this small jumó a while ago. I honestly saw a difference between the two. Nothing major like going to a Ryzen 7 or 9 but does have significant performance over the 3600x

AMD processors have been fairly remarkable the last 5 years and this is no different. I've had the R5 and the R9 processors and the 4th gen provides a noticeable improvement, especially for multithreaded non GPU dependent tasks. Would recommend the extra oomph.
