    Great gaming processor. Decent value. $300.00 is a premium for a 6 core chip in 2021, but has gaming performance similar to i9 10900k

    Best bang for your buck CPU. Feels weird buying a 6 core cpu in 2021 but if you're just building a gaming PC this CPU is perfect. Just need to tweak settings with PBO and Curve optimizer.

    Great processor, really all you need if you're on AM4 outside of a professional setting. Stock cooler ran loud but BB made it an easy return process.

    Works great so far! A little confusing in terms of how to set up with Infinity Fabric.. love AMD but they should provide official guides to help users maximize performance!

    AMD is killing it, the 5600X is a great value to performance ration. Also 6 cores seems to be the sweet spot for current gaming

    When under-clocked - it runs great! It has almost identical performance either way.
