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.

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

Was finally able to get one for MSRP at bestbuy. it seems cpus are coming back into stock which is great! The CPU runs great for me i can run any game at 1080p or 1440p with 0 issues

Great CPU for gaming. This was a very great purchase. I recommend this to anyone that needs either an upgrade or even if you’re just starting off. Also, make sure your motherboards BIOs is up to date and is able to run this CPU.

Easy to install, hard to max out. I have games like Elden Ring and Halo Infinite on max, also thanks to the 3050 i have, and i have no heating issues. Definitely worth the upgrade.

Far better over the R5 g I had. Great price and does the job

works like a charm especially after upgrading from a 3600x there’s a complete change in the visual and non visual aspects of my computer

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.

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!

Waited for newer cpus to come out to get this at a bargain price. My rtx 3070ti is not bottlenecked anymore just make sure to use a aftermarket cooler because she gets hot.

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.

Some of the best performance you can get at this price point. Good for gaming, video editing, live streaming, you name it.

Honestly best value to performance CPU on the market. Perfect pairing for amd6700xt/3060ti

Great price for the power of this cpu! If you are contemplating buying this just know that if you are in need of an upgrade this is a great cheap option.

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.

Just from a small upgrade cpu to this ryzen 5 will boost the pc quantity in gaming you will not regret it!!!!

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 CPU, if you're upgrading from a Ryzen 5 3600 just save your money. Don't even worry about the performance, you wont see much of a difference. Not worth the upgrade. At the same time it's not a bad cpu either. If you have the money, by all means go for it.

Pretty fast, much faster than a lot of others out there, crazy performance, amazing value, worth much more than priced.

I almost bought the 5800x when it was on sale, but then remembered I'd also need to purchase a aftermarket cpu cooling solution so I opted to get this one instead. For gaming the performance is on par with the 5800x, so if gaming is all you want I say get it. I did have some issue with my cpu running hot in games. Up to 83C at times. While this is withing the specs per AMD it was warmer than i wanted and I ended up getting a AIO water cooler. Now I wish I'd just gotten the 5800x (on sale for $375 at the time) since I do run veritual machine from time to time.
