    When I bought it, I got my doubts. I was looking for an I7, but I want to try the I5. This one is fast. The combination with the mother board was a good decision.

    What I needed to run with my 3060. Pretty much can output all my games at ultra on at 120 fps. Pc is running optimally now and loving this cpu since i was due while previously running the amd ryzen 1500. No way i was going to do the 3060 injustice with that. For any future customers looking to upgrade to this cpu make sure you have the most recent bios on the mobo.

    the Ryzen 5 5600x is a beast of a CPU for the price. I upgraded from a Ryzen 7 1700x to my Ryzen 5 5600x on a ASUS rog strix x470 f Mobo without an issue.

    If you’re going for a gaming build, that can also do some workstation workloads look no further. This cpu won’t bottleneck your graphics card for sure.
