AMD Ryzen 5 5600 CPU

I have this CPU in my custom build and it is great! Runs my games really well with no issue. Especially good how they included a cooler in it, which works good.

Upgraded from an i7 7000 series to this. Amazing core and boost clock. Performs nearly the same as a 5600X for a few $ less. Highly recommend for a PC build on a budget for mid/high range gaming Upgraded from an i7 7000 series to this. Amazing core and boost clock. Performs nearly the same as a 5600X for a few $ less.

It took a BIOS update on my venerable A320M motherboard to install this. Fortunately I knew that would be needed so I took care of it before I upgraded my PC. I'm very happy with this new CPU and I expect it will serve me well over the coming years. It took a BIOS update on my venerable A320M motherboard to install this.

No issues with installing this to a new build. Great price and happy with the performance over the past month. I did buy an upgraded cooler for this based on recommendations and have not had an issue. No issues with installing this to a new build.

Bought the Ryzen 5600 CPu to replace my Ryzen 3600.
I'm not entirely sure it was worth changing in my particular case but if you are upgrading from something worse than a 3600 or you are building a new system the AMD Ryzen 5 5600 is hard to beat for value. Since my Motherboard did not require any updates to accept the 5600 the installation process took less than 10 minutes!
Would definitely recommend for anyone doing office work or gaming at 1080p.

This is easily the best budget CPU to buy for a new build right now, no difference between this CPU and the 5600x except for the letter.
Pair this with 16GB 3200MHz RAM and an RX 6600 and you have top of the line 1080p max setting high refresh gaming, best budget combo on the market today. This is easily the best budget CPU to buy for a new build right now, no difference between this CPU and the 5600x except for the letter.

I upgraded from a gen one ryzen 5 1600 to this cpu.

Runs cooler and reaches max frequency of 4.4 Gz easy on my 4 year old mini-itx mother board (sustained under full core load , it holds this)
I would recommend a cheap aftermarket cooler on this , for much lower temps than standard cooler (which works fine). Having a better cooler on the cpu and it runs at max 4.4 easy consistently at full 6 core/12 thread loads no problem. Stock cooler may not give u full performance
I have a cheap coolermaster 410R 90mm tower cooler (fits in my small cube case with my mini-itx board).Keeps cpu about 15 deg C cooler than stock cooler.
These are great...view more I upgraded from a gen one ryzen 5 1600 to this cpu.

These are great low power cpus, ideal for smaller cases like mine, and they run nice and cool with a cheap tower fan/heatsink like the coolermaster 410R.

Compared to my r5 1600 the 5600 is about 50-70% faster in most use situations (idles cooler and runs at higher clocks far better).
Check out the hardware unboxed review of the 5600 on you tube (they have compared this cpu to previous gen and other cpus)

The other bonus is the cpu (at time of purchase) comes with UNCHARTED™: Legacy of Thieves Collection ($90 on steam right now) making it even better value.

It's def an excellent buy, esp as an upgrade cpu , def a nice performance upgrade for a great price.
NOTE:

I needed the lastest bios to use a 5000 series ryzen cpu, so check your motherboard support site to confirm and do that before installing this cpu.

I made my first gaming PC and used this CPU, it runs everything i play. Apex, AOE4 all amazing. thanks PB for the good deal I made my first gaming PC and used this CPU, it runs everything i play. Apex, AOE4 all amazing. thanks PB for the good deal

I bought this over the Ryzen 5500 for the extra cache, which might be handy when rendering on multiple cores, and a little because of PCIE 4. Really I'm just pampering myself a little because I'm sure the 5500 would have worked about the same for my purposes. A vast improvement on my old FX-6300 based desktop, much improved in multi-core rendering performance, 10 times faster rendering in one application (SweetHome3D).
