    I do some minor gaming and I’m heavy on running processes/programs and this CPU gets the job done perfectly. I haven’t seen any slight slowing down and overclocking is no issue

    Used to have a Ryzen 5 2600 and the performance in game with the 5600X was way far from my expectations, good raise on fps, programs run quite faster, its a good product

    Perfect cpu for a gaming setup. I have had no issues with it getting hot like some complain about. Have it on a 120mm AIO from EK and I don't think it has ever hit 60c , even in an ITX case. Definitely an upgrade over my 2700x.

    I paired this with my 3070ti and I get lightning speed gameplay with high frame rates 144hz at 1080p. I can run multiple programs at once for school easily. Great CPU and honestly the best one for under $300.

    I've had every Ryzen CPU including a Ryzen 1200 which was actually fantastic. So these new 5xxx series have an extra 34%+ performance and are noticeably quicker than the 3700x and 3600.
