Very good budget cpu, would buy again!

Great CPU for AM4 sockets, though not the most powerful option. Doesn't come with a stock cooler.Strong enough to work with just about any GPU that's currently out, especially if you play on 1440p.

Prima CPU die doet wat ie moet doen.

Erg krachtige processor die alle andere overtreft voor vrijwel alle taken en games. Let wel dat deze CPU geen geïntegreerde videokaart (IGPU) heeft. Zonder een videokaart kan de computer niet opstarten!

Nice and fast cpu. Perfect for gaming.

Prima cpu alleen hoe het verzenden vanaf het begin liep het al klote maar verder prima cpu blijft mooi koel

Glue paste was touched

the pins of the processor are a few bent at the beginning, the cpu didn't fit in even though I do have an am4 motherboard and now i don't even know how to get a refund

For the price, best CPU out there. Works amazing with my 3060 Ti, can run almost any game on 144 fps 1080p. Hasn't given me any issues; however, I would highly recommend not using the stock cooler, as my temperatures dropped drastically even after purchasing a $30 Thermalright Assassin.

This is a great price for this CPU, and a serious contender if you're going to be buying a discrete GPU and building your own PC. Ryzen 7 5700X offers great base speeds with lots of cache on 8 cores, and will happily accept some tweaking and overclocking. Some folks have worried about CPU bottlenecking with higher-end GPUs, but this works very well with a 7900XTX, and bottlenecking is only going to be an issue with huge GPU demand and a lot of back-end processes or demand placed on the CPU. Cyberpunk 2077 in 4k at 200fps? Easy. This is a GREAT mid-range CPU, and the L3 cache (one of AMD's cornerstones) is the same as most of the 7000 series Ryzen processors.However, with it not being a flagship model, most lower- and many mid-ranged motherboards may not support the chip straight out of the box. But don't let that deter you..... If you opt for a motherboard like mine (MSI) and face a similar issue - needing to update firmware/BIOS - don't worry. Follow the video guides on YouTube and in manuals and you'll be fine. But remember: format a new, small USB2 drive in FAT32, Google is your friend for this and for checking a partition is MBR (if you're very particular), download the exact version of BIOS required, and rename the file AND extension as directed. If you then boot from a Windows Installation Media drive, you'll get a fresh install of Windows without any bloatware or rootkits from any device manufacturer!Very easy to install - be gentle and cautious (and consider an antistatic wristband), line up the triangles, and don't force anything. Stability is a proven strength, and Ryzen Master is a good monitoring tool; the CPU voltage remains constant after idling for several hours with core temperature peaking at 30°C. Make sure you apply the thermal paste evenly, making sure to avoid leaving a blank spot. Appearance-wise? It's a chip. In an unnecessarily large box.Clean install of Windows 11 and up-and-running in less than an hour. Don't forget this chip DOESN'T HAVE INTEGRATED GRAPHICS AND DOESN'T COME WITH A STOCK COOLER, but let the CPU do CPU things and invest in a GPU of your choice. Plus, if you're opting for a CPU without integrated graphics, you'll probably be doing something with the cooling, right?As others have said (and this review highlighted previously), there must be some issue with the Amazon/seller/logistics/delivery process. I had multiple notifications about updates to tracking, but nothing informative on the Amazon platform. I was told, multiple times, that it had been dispatched, or tracking information was available, which did cause me some distress and confusion when seeing other reviews. I strongly suspect there's some issue between the vendor's platform, Amazon, tracking/delivery service, and how their systems speak to each other.

Let’s just say it up front: if you’re building a mid-range gaming PC, a light workstation, or even a home lab test bench, the Ryzen 5 5600 is still one of the smartest buys you can make in 2025. This chip came out as a "budget refresh" under the 5600X, but guess what? It performs 95% as well for less money—and that’s a win in my book.I’ve used this in three different builds:A gaming rig with a 3060 Ti and 32GB RAM (runs everything at 1080p/1440p like butter)A micro-ATX NAS/media server comboA test bench I keep at the shop with a stripped-down Linux distro for container devAnd across all of them? It’s stable, fast, and ridiculously power-efficient. The 6-core, 12-thread layout handles multitasking, gaming, streaming, compiling, and even light 3D rendering without breaking a sweat.Why It’s a Beast (for the price):Base 3.5GHz, boost up to 4.4GHz—plenty fast for any modern taskUnlocked for overclocking (though most people won’t need to—it's already well-tuned)AM4 socket = drop-in upgrade for tons of older B450/B550/X570 motherboardsPaired with a decent cooler (like that Thermalright Assassin 👀), it runs cool and quietWorks perfectly with budget DDR4—no need to jump to DDR5 yetWhat Could Be Better:Doesn’t include integrated graphics—so you’ll need a GPU, even just to bootNot future-proof for AM5/DDR5 platforms—but that’s why it’s priced like a legendStock cooler is okay… but you’re gonna want to upgrade if you're pushing this chipTL;DR:The Ryzen 5 5600 is still one of AMD’s most balanced chips ever made. It’s affordable, reliable, snappy under pressure, and perfect for gamers and builders who care more about performance per dollar than flexing on Cinebench charts.If you're building smart—and not just shiny—this is your CPU.

I have this in a budget build with a 6600xt and 16gb ddr4 3200. I game at 1080, 60fps. I knew this was going to be the target and it has worked great.I know there are better options for not much more but I can always upgrade in the future to something better, but for now I am happy with the performance for my needs.No problems streaming out at 720p while gaming at 60fps.

Good as processor for your first gaming PC.
