    Great for beginners/budget build PC. I’ve got it sitting behind a NZXT AIO 360mm cooler and it always keeps a cool head.

    Good! Pretty easy to setup. Stock cooler is not very good though - hit 80 degrees celsius after a short while, but thankfully doesn't get much higher.

    This is one of the hardest product to find and purchase due to its high demand. Luckily, I was able to secure one before it was sold out! I needed this part to build my dream PC and it was perfect! I definitely recommend.

    Before this CPU I had a 3070 GPU & couldn't run Doom Eternal with Ray Tracing. I had to replace my old motherboard to upgrade to this CPU but it was so worth it, I finally fixed the bottleneck in my system & I'm now running Doom 100fps+

    Big upgrade from the Ryzen 3 4100, the 5600x still works with DDR4 ram as well.

    I upgraded from a R5-2600 and this one is a lot better. I think this is on par with an intel 10th gen series. The single core performance is much better. Best buy was the best price from anything I've seen online.

    Unbelievable value! I absolutely love the 5600x. I would recommend you look into undervolting becuase it can run hot on the stock cooler.

    I used to love overclocking. I still do. But CPU overclocking is a chore - constantly resetting the CMOS, starting over with BIOS defaults, etc. With the 5600x, all you need to do is enable PBO and get a 4.8 GHZ clock. It's a better way to live my friends.

    This processor is of good value compared to many processors out there, but like many processors, hard to get at a decent price.

    No problem whatsoever hitting and staying at 4.6ghz stock boost with an all in one air cooler. Paired with a RTX 3070 I'm easily able to maintain 110-120 FPS on Call of Duty: Warzone.
