    An absolute beast of a processor. I run it with a 3080 and it feels like I can tackle anything. Apex legends at 240FPS, streaming at 1080p, 4k gaming with ease. Buy this processor (at MSRP)

    Can’t complain with this CPU. If your not trying to full throttle it and just want a good gaming cpu this works well.

    CPU is a beast. Extremely happy with it's performance. In Cinebench it runs essentially the same as my Ryzen 7 3700x for multi core. It crushes the 3700 in single core. Low TDP also.

    An excellent cpu to match with a lower ended motherboard B450 Tomahawk.. Runs great without any issues. Upgraded from a 2200g to the 5600x after updating my Bios.

    Used this for a build with AMD 6700xt and haven’t come across any games that it can’t handle well yet. The combo seems to work well together with our other components.

    Great product, worked straight out of the box! Did not have any shipping or billing issues either which is also really great. The Ryzen CPU is a beautiful upgrade for any PC enthusiast.

    This thing smokes my old Ryzen 7 2700x with 2 less cores, and runs much cooler too. Framerates in games have improved and I don't notice that this is a 6 core processor even in heavier workloads. Excellent buy!

    Make sure your mobo is 550 or newer. As for load 6 core is not really a good option for most gaming. Runs high, i bought for my mining rig but board too old 2700x runs smoother but now its in my mining board :/
