AMD Ryzen 5 5600X 6-Core 3.7 GHz Socket AM4 65W 100-100000065BOX Desktop Processor

Pros: Beats every other processor in its class.

Cons: None

Overall Review: This is an awesome processor. Every claim AMD made about it's performance is absolutely true. See my photos for benchmarks, no overclock.

Pros: - Equal to / better than the i9 10900k in single threaded performance for almost half the cost. - No problem whatsoever hitting and staying at 4.6ghz stock boost with an air cooler.

Cons: Absolutely nothing. AMD pulled no punches when it came to the Ryzen 5000 series.

Overall Review: Honestly, the best value for money CPU that has ever been made in my eyes. Everything AMD claimed in marketing for this CPU turned out to be true, and it seems they even undersold themselves. i9 10900k levels of performance for around half the cost is truly unprecedented, and really shines a light on Intel's anti-consumer strategies they've been pulling in the last few years since there was no competition. Not only is there competition now, Intel is getting absolutely smoked by the 5000 series release. One of the best PC purchases I've ever made.

Pros: After swapping from a 1600x, around 60/70% improvement

Cons: Nothing so far

Overall Review: If you are below a 3000 series, go for it

Pros: -Fast -Cheap - Support MSI B450 Tomahawk Non Max -SAM is enable on B450

Cons: -Not delivered by Lisa Su herself

Overall Review: I upgraded from a 2600 with MSI B450 Tomahawk non Max. Flash the new Bios and it work perfectly out of the box. SAM was added into the bios feature so anyone with a B450/470 don't need to spend extra $$ on a new motherboard. The most impressive feature about this chip is their PBO 2 which undervolt and overclock as good as manually overclocking. The PBO that is feature in the Ryzen 5000 series are a lot better than the 3000 series according to various sources in google search lol. Highly recommend for anyone with older Zen and are looking to upgrade.

Pros: Fast Efficient (65W) Cooler Included AMD making that CPU game strong

Cons: Broken keyboard from that constant F5 and bot battle.

Overall Review: Solid win for AMD. Intel better step their game up and their prices down or it's gonna be a long 2021 for them.

Pros: - Fast and Quiet - Comes with a cooler - Easy install - Huge improvement in PC responsiveness

Cons: - None

Overall Review: - highly recommend

Pros: I bought the 5800x, only option I could find by luck on Newegg with F5 in Dec... Wanted 5600x as I'm a gamer. There is no difference in gaming comparing the two against each other with 1440p. Selling my 5800x to put 150 bones back in my pocket.

Overall Review: Runs 20c cooler than my 5800x in the same system. Fps is the same maybe 1 or 2 fps different. PBO raises it to 4.85ghz with a few clicks. Bye bye 5800x, games and gamers don't need you yet.

Pros: - Big upgrade over zen 2 - Compatible with b450 motherboards after Bios update.

Cons: - None so far.

Overall Review: - This the best CPU you can get for gaming right now. If you can find it in stock grab it as soon as you can, you won't be disappointed.
