    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)

    One of the best AMD CPUs, runs well and dependable. 5600X runs less hotter than my 5800X thats for sure (built the 5600X for my gf’s PC).

    Works good so far. The fan that comes with it is a little too wide and causes issues if you need to remove the processor. It does come with a little thermal paste on the fan, but nothing spectacular and you are better wiping it off and putting your own on it.

    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.

    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 :/
