  • Excellent price and performance
Style: Desktop Processor
Purchased this for a mid-level gaming build. AMD are my preferred brand for CPU's (I own both AMD and Intel) and for the average gamer AMD has always preformed flawlessly.

  • This is not a retail Box but everything works
Style: Desktop Processor
The media could not be loaded. I was surprised when the CPU and Fan came in a brown box. But the CPU and the Fan worked perfectly so it's OK. It's supposed to be unlocked which I can overclock the CPU but I haven't done any of the tuning yet because my son thinks it's fast as it is. It's quite a plug and play. The price is good for this CPU especially with the Fan so we don't have to go out and buy a separate fan. The fan is quite efficient and quiet. ... show more

  • The Best CPU for a Budget Gaming PC
Style: Desktop Processor
This is the only processor you'll ever need if you're just looking for something to power a simple budget gaming PC build. Even when paired with a budget GPU like the RX 6600, you can expect to play almost any game at Ultra settings at 1080p with plenty of FPS to spare. The CPU works just as well for 1440p gaming as well, if you have a more powerful GPU like the 6800 XT. This CPU also comes with an included stock cooler, which does perform remarkably better than the stock coolers from older CPU generations. However, I would still recommend getting a different cooler, just to get that slight extra bit of performance in terms of temperature control. For my test, I used this with a low profile ID-COOLING IS-55 cooler and I had an average CPU temp in the mid-60 degrees in most games. In terms of FPS performance, this CPU is more than enough to deliver over or near 100 FPS at 1080p in almost any game with the 6600 and can even exceed 200 FPS when paired with a 6800 XT. The CPU has the perfect amount of performance where there isn't any concern of it being a bottleneck unless you pair it with something like the RTX 4090, for example. In my main tests, I averaged around 76FPS in Cyberpunk 2077 with FSR 2.0 enabled on High Settings at 1080p, and I averaged around 92FPS in Hogwarts Legacy with FSR 2.0 enabled at High and also at 1080p- both games were tested with the 6600 and with 16GB of 3200Mhz RAM. Overall, there isn't a CPU that has a much better value proposition than this one. If you want a solid CPU that will work just fine with almost any GPU while still providing an excellent gaming experience, then this is the CPU for you. It comes with a cooler in the box and has preapplied thermal paste, which makes building a budget/first time PC all that much easier. I highly recommend it. ... show more

  • Best value mid-range CPU for it's generation. High value for Low to Medium systems.
Style: Desktop Processor
As of this review I have already upgraded as planned to a 5800x3d with an aftermarket cooler and used those for a while but here is my review from memory. The 5600 and X variant DO NOT have on-board graphics if you are building with that in mind please look at the 5600g variant or a newer APU. This CPU was a massive upgrade for me in gaming and even more for productivity from a very old Intel CPU so take that with a grain of salt. In gaming this is a very powerful CPU for the vast majority of people. If you are gaming under 144hz and on a budget this is easily one of the best you can get from this generation. This is continually one of, if not the highest, value cpu's as it comes with a very beefy performance for its cost and a cooler all in one package. I had near-flawless performance when used on my 144hz 1440p monitor in most of my games. I generally reduce in-game settings to accommodate higher framerate which does often reduce CPU load as well but reducing max framerates to 120 and more-so 90 at comparable settings would be even more ideal if going for higher settings or a smoother 1% framerate experience for fast games. Productivity - I had two monitors and often I watch videos, streamers, chat with friends and browse(browsers can be quite CPU intensive at times due if not using hardware-encoding which in my case I did not due to compatibility issues with other software) All-in-all if you are building a new system, you may want to look at the newer AMD 7600 lineup as it is very similar, but if squeezing out a smaller budget with a very good sale or a used purchase, the 5600 will last you at minimum 4 years without issue. ... show more

  • great value, great performance for a budget build
Style: Desktop Processor
decided to upgrade from my first gen ryzen which had 8 cores. 6 cores, i decided, would be better overall, especially for gaming. at the same time, i also replaced my 980 with a rx580(8gb) - which wasn't much of an upgrade but my 980 was thoroughly used and was crashing. i may end up holding onto this one until after another GPU upgrade(3060 perhaps), then eventually get a 6ghz intel ... show more

  • Great upgrade to my Ryzen 3600
Style: Desktop Processor
My desktop is my daily driver, and nightly I play Fortnite. I did not want to upgrade to a 5800x3d because of the expense. If I was going to go that route I might as well update the GPU, which would require a new power supply, and by that point, I might as well replace whole new system with an AM5. I can now play Fortnite on all Epic settings at 120 fps. The CPU runs at around 65-75%, and the temp never goes above 80C. ... show more
