    • AMD makes great CPU's
Purchased this CPU for a new build for my sister. Works great and is fast. All my home PC's have AMD CPUs and they all work perfectly.

    • Great CPU for an AM4 Mid Range Build
I built my daughter a PC that she could play 1080P ultra, 1440P Med/High, and some 4K Low games. She is running this CPU paired with an intel A770 GPU (upgraded from an older RX580). Given the GPUs that were tied to this build so far, the CPU has been handling the gameplay without becoming a bottle neck. It runs with a stock cooler at acceptable temps. All in all, this was a good budget build with good performance with current games (given the display settings we are using). ... show more

    • Phenomenal Deal
I got this looking for something to match my RX 580 but also give me options for future upgrades and boy was this a good choice. While there is a pretty significant bottleneck (since it's paired with an RX 580), even in games like CS2 and Minecraft which are very CPU intensive, it never went above 70 degrees. Stress testing it never went over 76 degrees with the stock cooler. Overall, it is a great value for the budget market and I am happy that I could use this for my first ever build. ... show more

    • Great product!
I bought this CPU a little while ago, and i have to say it runs great with no issues so far. if you are looking for a great CPU for your money, i recommend this as a great, solid option.

    • Great budget CPU!
Sure, technology is moving so fast by the time you purchase the "latest and greatest" it's already outdated! Teaching a student of mine how to build a gaming PC decided to go with the Ryzen 5 5500 CPU. The install onto an ASRock B450M Steel Series motherboard was a simple set-in and lock down. (He got it on the first try!) Although he just finished the build and took it home today I trust the Ryzen's as I have 2 of them in use out of my three gaming computers. Great product by, what I think, is a great company. The Ryzen 5 5500 should run some of the latest games out there with no problems. Would definitely recommend. ... show more

    • Cpu
It works exactly as intended, there’s some better ones out there but for the money it’s great, I play a ton of big games like apex, Helldivers 2 etc. and it doesn’t overheat and the games run great!

    • It does it's job.
For me CPUs like this, which are budget CPUs are mostly about the price. For $100 USD or less this is an excellent buy. If it's more than that, uhhhh. I'll take the 5600 for $130 Bob. While this is a Zen 3 CPU, it's not PCIe gen4 and you should be aware of this before buying. It's not the same line of CPU that most Zen 3 CPUs which are Vermeer. This is Cezanne. There are 3 Cezanne CPUs, the other two are OEM only, meaning they only come in a PC you buy from a company that makes PCs like Dell, etc........ For the most part this isn't a problem because it's a budget CPU, however if you pair this with something like an AMD Radeon 6500 XT which only uses 4 PCIe lanes to connect to the CPU, you'll get bad performance. So don't do that. Otherwise as long as you pair this with at least an 8 PCIe lane GPU it works fine. You take a tiny hit in GPU performance but not enough to worry about. The bigger hit comes with the NVMe drives, especially in 2023 and going forward. There are now MANY NVMe disks that are a lot faster than 4GB/s, and to give as simple explanation as I can, a PCIe lane is a serial data line. The way a PCIe device/bus works is by grouping a certain amount of lanes so that you get the speed of a single PCIe lane times the number of lanes you have. Any NVMe disk has 4 lanes. It also means the port you plug it into along with what it connects to (CPU, motherboard chipset) has 4 PCIe lanes that it will connect with. So, you get 4 PCIe lanes. So now you need to know the data speed for each lane. For PCIe gen3, the speed of each lane is 1GB/s. For PCIe gen4 the speed of each lane is 2GB/s. So, with this CPU, the best you can get is a data transfer rate of 4GB/s to an NVMe disk. That's it. The newest disks coming out the end of 2022, and 2023 can hit speeds near 9GB/s. Now, most data transfers to/from NVMe disks can't run at that speed. However many disks can run many data transfers faster than 4GB/s, so that means a CPU that runs PCIe gen3 is slowing down modern NVMe disks that can run gen4 or now gen5 speeds. But that's not a statement that has a clear meaning, because just because a disk is called gen4, it doesn't mean most of the data transfers to/from that disk will run at the full bandwidth of PCIe gen4 x4 lanes = 8GB/s. Most gen4 disks rarely hit that speed if ever. Only the most expensive ones do. BUT once again many will run different types of transfers above 4GB/s. So that's the description of what it means to have PCIe gen3 when dealing with modern NVMe disks. You're going to slow down some of the data transfers, not all, depending on how fast (which also means more expensive) the disk is. Yes for a general purpose PC build this is good enough and it's a low cost option that's really good at $100 USD or less. However if the price of this starts to get closer to the Ryzen 5600, I'd rather buy the 5600 because that's PCIe gen4 which is as good as it gets with an AMD AM4 motherboard. ... show more

    • Excellent price for a great CPU
Worked great on an older motherboard with an updated bios! Just make sure you properly update the bios on older motherboards correctly!
