- Runs fairly cool at idle, around 37-38C for me using push-pull AIO setup. - When under heavy load for bench and stress tests, I've barely exceeded 80C. - With some tweaking, was able to get it up to around 5.6Ghz OC and undervolting using PBO settings. - Doesn't even break a sweat while gaming or doing anything else.

Its efficient, its affordable, and it has plenty of power for an i5

Best processor gaming

Trade in program let me swap this for my old 13600k to get a much better binned CPU and two free games (Battlefield 6 & Assassin's Creed Shadows) for a grand total cost of $18 in the end. Not bad.

Was cheaper than the 7800x3d at the time of purchase

Had been on 8-core CPU's for the longest time, but I found that I was multi-tasking more and more. This CPU fit the bill and it was a noticeable speed bump over my old 5800X. It was a nice middle ground as the next level up, 9950X, was beyond my budget. Plenty good enough for gaming also. Power efficiency is still good enough to stick to air cooling.

- Cheap - Meet requirements of pretty much everything

Easy to install Good instructions Very fast

This processor is very fast, outperforms the Ryzen 5 3600X in every way. I was able to purchase this processor at MSRP! Shipping was fast, I received the 5600x in two days.

Rock stable, fast and actually runs cool as long as you have a 360 AIO. Gaming 65C, idle around 30-35C. Looking at 4k gaming and this is only around 4% slower than a 9950X3D and cost's much less! Productivity apps and gaming all run smooth and stable.

It seems fantastic runs like a jet

Prompt delivery and a great alternative to the issues being experienced in some series 12 and 13 CPU's

Gaming champ

Best choice for personal computer

-Able to play everything I've thrown at it for 1080p gaming. -Haven't had any issues with overheating or throttling - AMD drivers have been good and the software works well for turning on FSR and different profiles for each game.

CPU is quick and power efficient.



this processor is awesome speedy also ai ready (npu build in)
