    • Great and affordable CPU
Bought this for my dad’s new budget PC since I do really like AMD process over intel. It’s my old PC and it’s an upgrade from a Ryzen 7 1700x as it’s a tad finicky now. It’s got plenty of processing power and the benchmark was very solid. The only issue was that I was putting it into a B350 chipset MoBo and while it stated that it was compatible, I forgot to update the bios and it would not post. This is more user error than anything. Eventually we got the bios to update after a few failed art attempts and now it works flawlessly. AM4 processors are always annoying to install, but I’ve done enough of them to know how to set the chip into the board with no issues. The thing runs games very well and the air cooler keeps it below 50°C on average when gaming. The fan is a tad noisy but it’s not too bad. Definitely a great budget CPU. ... show more

    • opinion on this budget friendly cpu
This cpu works great for gaming and you can save money. Especially when it’s on sale for a good price. Although it does lack in some cases like CPU heavy games. Like Fortnite if you have this budget cpu and paired it with an Rtx 4060 for a budget build Fortnite will have some frame dips. Because of the Gpu being too powerful for the cpu. But in Gpu heavy games it works great. Temperatures on the cpu are consistent never going to high. But do be warned that games like Fortnite will not be playable on any other graphic settings besides performance mode. Trying to launch the game max or on lowest settings of direct 12 will cause major dips in frames. Even with a good pc. I believe it has to just be the cpu not being strong enough. I think that other variables that affect the cpu would be background software like discord and if you use msi afterburner then the fps counter could cause frame issues. Ram is a factor and storage type. So if your buying this cpu for gaming specifically Fortnite run the game on performance and keep the resolution to 80% to 100% then your fine if you want frames. But don’t let my review scare you go with what you believe is best. In my case this cpu was definitely worth the price. And been using it for a few months now with no problems. ... show more

    • Great price to performance
Great budget CPU as it’s always on sale, handles a lot of process and doesn’t get too hot under load with the included cooler. Overall nice W by AMD and this is why they are beating intel

    • Budget Friendly Gaming CPU
For several years, AMD has consistently put out solid products in the CPU space. Many would argue that their Ryzen series processors, de-throned Intel as the premier CPU manufacturer, and I would tend to agree in most circumstances. The value and performance from this CPU is fantastic. You can regularly find this processor for under $100, at the time of this review, it can be had for $80. You can't hope to find value like this from Intel, at least not currently. Released in April 2022, the Ryzen 5 5500 is a great choice for someone who is looking for a budget friendly and performant processor, whether it be for gaming or casual computer use. It's got 6 cores and 12 threads, which means that it's more modern architecture makes it viable for longer. A TDP of 65w(watts), means that it's a relatively easy processor to power, so you won't need a high-powered rig to run it, and the inclusion of a cooler in the box, means you have everything you need to put it into your system and go. The Wraith coolers from AMD, are nothing to write home about, but it's additional value for your money that you don't find much nowadays. It's on the AM4 socket, which AMD will be supporting for at least a few more years, although they no longer release new CPUs for this socket. It's pretty clear that AM4 still has some solid staying power, so I would expect some decent longevity with it. All in all, I'd highly recommend this CPU. My fiancé got it for her first desktop, to do gaming and media consumption, and we've both been very happy with it. ... show more

When I saw that this item doesn't ship to my location after the purchase, I thought it was SUS. BUT, *Exactly what I wanted. Brand new, comes with a cooler. ✅ *No Issue multitasking (Blender, Photoshop, Chrome etc) ✅ *Speeds occasionally hops to 4.1ghz and never below 3.8 ✅ *So far so good, works right away in the Gigabyte B550MK board. ✅ *Cooler is bigger than expected, doesn't feel cheap and has pre-installed thermal paste ✅ ... show more

I won't take too much time on this review. I'll just say it's a very good CPU at a great price. From a reliable brand better than the competition. Get it.
