Customer Ratings & Reviews

This was a Christmas gift to my partner a couple years ago! Loads things really fast and is pretty darn affordable!

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

This processor is not better than intel but for the price it is way better than intel. this gives you the best bang for your buck. No joke buy now if you are on a budget

For the price it can not get better. Perfect for gaming and every day tasks

Great cpu for the price it will run most games without any issue and do some other tasks like light video editing and photo shop

Wow! The power you get for the $$$$ with this 5600X at MSRP is just amazing. Can't go wrong for your PC build with this. Should handle just about anything you throw at it. I can game and stream at 2k no problem. I love it. I had a Ryzen 1800X for the LONGEST time before getting this and it beats it in every way.

So far so goog i push this cpu to the limit and it hold on very nice and for the price is excelent

Great replacement for my 2600. Not sure if I would grab this over an 11th gen Intel chip if I was just starting a new build, but AMD's upgrade path made this a no-brainer for me. Worth the price for gaming.

It's amazing how powerful CPUs have become over the years. The 5600x strikes a balance between price and performance, although it may be better to opt for a 5600G (if you need integrated graphics) or a normal 5600 (as it's cheaper and roughly identical in performance).

Arguably the best cost to value chip on the market right now. Paired with higher end cards and this thing performs well above its weight class.

coming from a 1600 (i know i know) this was a much needed upgrade. im pretty late to the party here but this cpu still kicks butt. paired this bad boy up with a AMD 6650x and it runs any recent game flawlessly with high settings.

I've bought 3 Ryzen 5 5600Xs over the last year and they handle everything I've ever thrown at them. No complaints. Probably the most bang for your buck processor you'll come across

This cpu is amazing ive stress tested it a number of times running benchmarks while editing a 4K vid and dozens of tabs open some with vid and hasn’t hesitated in any way heat hasn’t gone up more than a few degrees, everything is quite a bit snappier as well, 299$ is a great price for what u get.

It was the best price-to-performance ratio that I could find at that time. This setup performs exceptionally well not only for gaming but also for everyday tasks like watching videos on YouTube and streaming content on Twitch. It really handles both types of activities with ease, making it a great choice for anyone looking to get the most value for their money.

Got this 3 years ago and it’s still going strong. I’ve only got a 970 graphics card and I’m still able to run games like baldurs gate on medium settings because this baby does all the heavy lifting. I’m able to stream with only occasional issues on more heavy duty games but throwing down some graphics settings fixes it right up. Overall best purchase of my build. I’m glad I chose this to splurge on. Every other aspect of my build I’m slowly overhauling but this gets to stay because it’s served me so well and still can compete 3 years later (which in tech time is usually decrepit)

One of the best CPUs I have used for gaming. I have mine paired with the sapphire 6750xt and have yet to have any issues running anything.

Got the hairbrained idea that I needed to swap to this CPU from my oem 5600g in an HP Omen... A bit of a sideways move, but I just felt it would be worth it for some dumb reason and in the end I am not let down. It went into the mix in a mid 2021 spec HP Omen 30L with a 3060, 48gig of ddr4 3200mhz ram and all fans converted to Noctuas with additional Noctuas added a year prior to the CPU swap. Just from the CPU swap alone I am seeing on average a 10% increase in FPS during demanding situations over the 5600G, and at the same time seeing 2-3 degrees celsius cooler than the 5600G. As I'm stuck with a 500w PSU and a case with crappy airflow at best - I am extremely pleased on all fronts.

This CPU is fantastic. It went into a nice budget gaming build, and runs everything very well. I highly recommend for a nice budget cpu

Amazing processor for the money. Definitely the best gaming CPU out there, don’t bother with the higher models in the 5000 series unless you intend to stream or do other content creation work.

It is an awesome cpu. 6 core, 12 thread and very good value for a gaming setup. Upgraded a customers pc that was running a 1600x, what a big difference.
