Great overall chip for a good price. I upgraded from a R5 3600 after a PSU failure and got this on sale ($200 at the time). Works well as both my gaming and software dev rig.
Pros:
+ Performance uplift of Zen 4 is noticeable in single core and multi-core workloads
+ Good price point for 6 cores
+ Little guy loves to boost
+ PCI-e Gen 5
+ Doesn't run as hot as the other AM5 chips
+ Very stable with EXPO'd RAM at 6000MHz
+ No X3D cache, so no scheduling issues.
+ Good efficiency.
+ Stays cool during idle
+ iGPU. Not really needed when you have a dedicated one, but its pretty performant.
Cons:
- While AM5 increases the amount of PCI-e lanes, I still find it to be a limiting factor for anything containing more than 1 GPU... my own personal gripe I guess...
- Likes to run hot. Anytime a sustained workload gets placed on it, it will keep boosting until it reaches TJMax. Not a problem if you have a good cooler (ps. thermalright has some cheap ones that can handle the power).
- Want EXPO speeds above 6000 MHz? Too bad.
- AM5 motherboards will run you a pretty penny. Different socket than AM4. However, AMD claims they will support it for a while, so maybe its worth it.

Despite this being a mid range CPU, it is no slouch. I paired this with a 7700xt and it has handled everything thus far. Coming from Intel, it was an adjustment seeing the temps rise quickly under load. Seeing 85° C is normal during heavier loads. I put a Thermalright Assassin 120x on it for cooling and its temps are perfectly in range with what they should be. Highly recommend.

To be honest I have never bought a core computer component like a cpu from BB cause I always thought they were too expensive compared to other major players. Not anymore, I reached out via chat to customer service and they did not hesitate a min or gave the run around to price match the competiton. Using my BB card allows me to save 5% on the purchase basically making it tax free. I can order the quantity I want, no more "Limit one per household ". I can pick up from store or they deliver same day for free. Way to go BB hope you keep up the good work!

Nice CPU for beginning.
Powerful, low TDP.
I will recommend it for peoples, who want to build cheap PC, but get a enough power.
But, for me it’s not enough, cause I need more options in multitasking way

Not at all as bad as tech YouTubers try to make it out to be. This is a solid 6 core 12 thread gaming workhorse and it doesn't try to be anything else.
I ultimately didn't keep my 7600x although all I do is game on my machines. Through a long set of troubleshooting brand new hardware making up an entire system... I didn't find out until I finally replaced the motherboard that that's where the problem lied.
At time of writing, there is now the 7600 non-X CPU out there (I got my 7600x for the MSRP of non-X anyway) that may be an easier pill to swallow, being it includes a cooler. But this CPU does exactly what it's intended to do. It pushed frames to my 7900 XTX just fine!

What a bang for the budget. The Ryzen 5 7600x strikes a perfect balance between power and efficiency, making it a great choice for gaming enthusiasts and content creators alike. You can't go wrong with this processor from AMD! Also just installed into my personal build!

Cannot be more happy with my upgrade from my am4 ryzen5 this thing absoulty destroys my old ryzen5 by all standards paired with 64gb ddr5 and my new gpu is game changer.

great gaming chip, 6 cores and 12 threads is plenty for me. could drive a 3090 or 6900 xt if i were to pair it with either card. if you can get it for less than $200 (at time of writing) the value is excellent.

Solid processor, probably the best you can get for AM5 if you're looking for a budget type build. this performs better than the 7700x and is a solid choice that you won't have to upgrade for another 3-5 years. Works great with my 4070 ti super, asus tuf gaming x670e plus wifi. Id give this cpu a 10/10.

Great chip for a good price. I got mine when i caught it on sale for $199 plus tax. It plays my games really well, for a mid tier gaming rig. I play mostly 1440p in ultra settings.

Works great for my new pc build would recommend especially with the ease of access from Best Buy they had about 3-4 extra on the shelf’s and helped answer all my questions about the pc part .

I’ve had this chip for a few weeks and it’s been able to easily keep up with my school work, gaming, an coding with ease, it’s a very good chip for its price.
