Customer Ratings & Reviews

Served me well in its 3-ish years of service, got a new pc and no longer need it, never bottlenecked my system and performed amazing with overclocking.

Amazing out of the box performance but where I saw it shine was how much I was able to Overclock it and maintain stability and thermals. I am able to hit well over 4 on this guy. Much needed improvement for my system. Don’t think I’ll have to get another for a couple years.

I believe I've purchased this CPU at least three times for my builds. I love it. Always in working condition, never any problems. It is a powerful CPU and provides awesome value. I recommend pairing this with an RTX 3060, 3060Ti, or 3070 as well as RX 6700XT. I don't think you can beat the power per value of this CPU.

Handles amazingly with my desktop, a fast processor. I can run any tasks easily. I was on a budget and it is worth your buck.

Better gaming performance than i7 10700K at a cheaper price, with PCIE Gen 4 support? Winner. Luckily at the time of posting this, these have become much easier to find at MSRP. Absolutely do not buy this for over listing price, buy a 10700K on a deal instead if you need something now and for some reason you still cant get a 5600X.

Best bang for you buck! And it’s not even close. Amd over the years have been getting really close if not been beating nvidia as far as CPU’s go as of late. And compared to other CPU’s in this price point this one is the best ngl

Faster than an Intel i9-10900K at single core and just under the multi core of a Ryzen 7 3700x, 65 watt tdp, just 300$. Stays pretty cool, but boosts quite a bit so expect some temperature spikes if you're using the stock cooler. Even works on some B450 motherboards with a bios update, if you're looking to upgrade. Highly recommend this CPU, very happy with it. If you manage to find one, it's an amazing deal.

Love it cant beat the quality and performance for price p Especially if you grab on sale pair this up with almost any gpu this chip is amazing for price Especially if your building a pc for the first time and not trying to break the bank.

Everything I needed it to be. Best Buy never lets me down with faulty products and this was the first CPU I've purchased from here. Big boost in gaming performance, and will hold it's value and performance on AAA games for a good while.

Very solid value for a 5000 series CPU. AMD is doing a killer job competing with Intel. The consumer wins here. For $300 US you can't go wrong here. Very happy with this processor, and may buy a 5900 if I have some extra money in a few months.

Beautiful performance, easy to install (ignoring some user errors), loads npcs, environments, etc like a champ, but my gaming needs arent demanding or intense, so this works perfectly for me! using this with a b550 gaming plus works just fine after updating the bios, very satisfied!

Having upgraded my desktop with the AMD Ryzen 5 5600X, I can confidently say it's a powerhouse processor for both gaming and productivity. The 6-core, 12-thread configuration ensures smooth multitasking and exceptional performance in demanding applications. Paired with the Wraith Stealth Cooler, temperatures stay under control even during intense gaming sessions. The unlocked feature allows for easy overclocking, further boosting performance. Games run flawlessly, and the processor handles video editing and content creation tasks like a champ. AMD's 4th Gen Ryzen series truly delivers, and the 5600X is a fantastic choice for anyone seeking a high-performance processor without breaking the bank. Highly recommended for gamers and content creators alike!

Works great for the whole month I've used it for. Does everything I throw at it well. It's a little pricey for six core, but the single core and gaming performance is very good, currently best in class. The multi core performance of the 5600x is close to the previous gen eight core cpu, the 3700x.

Great loved it help me play other games ive been wanting along with a good performance boost to going from a ryzen 3 to this night and day difference

I love Ryzen processors. This specific one is quite a good deal when under $100. It's a solid performer and if you really wanted to later down the line you can upgrade it wjth a higher end Ryzen processor (AM4 specific ones).

Great CPU. Try and catch this thing on sale to save so money. You can build a decent budget system by pairing this with a b450 board (You will need to update the motherboard bios first before it will work!) and something like a 1080ti or 3060ti to get a ton of performance without spending too much.

This was my first AMD processor and I've been more than happy with it. I replaced my previous Intel CPU with this and an Intel-based motherboard with one that would support this and I'm very pleased with the performance. Temps are good even with the stock fan. I have a better fan that I used with the Intel CPU, but haven't gotten around to getting the adapter needed. I'm still using a GeForce GTX 1080 with it and so far I'm very satisfied working in Adobe Creative Cloud Apps (even editing and rendering video), as well as 3D applications like Blender and ZBrush. Definitely meets my needs for any of the functions that are CPU intensive vs GPU.

It’s the best gaming pcu for a budget. It’s like maybe 10% behind a $500 cpu at the moment. Don’t follow the new stuff, get your money’s worth. Great for programming as well. Anything except maybe video coding professionally.

It’s no secret this CPU is recommended over and over and over again, and for good reason. This is the best budget CPU you will find. Best in class for gaming in my opinion.

Best bang for the buck in the lineup. Yes, more cores would be nice, but this thing does all core OC at 4.8Ghz for me which is amazing considering in games it's basically equal to a 5900x. Meanwhile the power consumption is far less so no where near the amount of heat a 5900x generates.
