AMD Ryzen 5 5600X - Ryzen 5 5000 Series Vermeer (Zen 3) 6-Core 3.7 GHz Socket AM4 65W None Integrated Graphics Desktop CPU Processor - 100-100000065BOX

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: Arrived in two days, excellent.

Cons: Was non-functional when it arrived, tried in two different machines.

Overall Review: I'm assuming this was simply from a bad batch, as there were no bent pins or other signs of compromise.

To confirm I purchased the same item from a different vendor and it worked perfectly.

So an AMD issue not a Newegg issue.
