    I was hesitant to get this CPU. I thought of maybe going with an AM5 system but my budget was not enough. So far this has been a crusher. With just a simple OC within the AMD Adrenalin settings I am hitting over 5 ghz...not a typo...hitting 5 ghz with a simple OC. Voltage does not go above 1.488, The temp stays in the low 80's or lower. I did change the wraith prism cooler which was nice but did not keep it cool enough. I was only able to hit the 5 g mark with the cheap aftermarket cooler.

    Upgraded from an Ryzen 7 3700X & it has been a pretty dramatic improvement. Games load quicker, and overall perform much better than the 3700x. It does run a little hotter than the 3700x so make sure you pair with an AIO.

    Product woks exactly as expected and actually slightly above other benchmarks and rated cpu frequency with no overclocking. I nearly hit .2Ghz over manufacturer rating speed. I saw shortly after purchase that it was reduced in price by another $40 and Bestbuy refunded the difference which was definitely not expected but very welcome! I will continue shopping here looking for a desktop in te near future for a member of the family.

    I bought this cpu in order to upgrade from a Ryzen 5 5500 and it was worth every penny. After updating my bios and making sure my motherboard was compatible, it was pretty straight forward to install. Also came with the stock cooler with thermal paste on it. Highly recommend this cpu to anyone on the fence about it. Easy and painless order online and pickup in store.

    Love it, needed a cheap but worthwhile upgrade before my am5 upgrade later this year. Runs fantastic has good temps and gaming looks great on it. If you have Am4 and don’t wanna upgrade yet this is a great choice for now.

    the price is a bit high for what it is but if you can get it on sale below $200, its well worth the price for its performance. i got lucky and searched amazon while at the store and they was willing to price match it for me at $160 and since the 5600x was only about $30 less, i decided to grab this one.

    Have been using AMD for a while now. This was actually kind of a future proof buy, but it is worth it. With the right GPU you just drop it in and away you go. Just as a precaution make sure your cooling is on point. Keeping everything running smoothly is essential.
