I recently bought a Steam Valve Index VR setup and started using it on my home theater PC (i7-6700 on an MSI Pro Carbon mobo with 16 gigs of ram and a GTX1080 GPU). I found that after running some games like Arizona Sunshine or Time Carnage VR, the CPU would spike up to 98-100% on all cores while the GPU was maxing out at about 45%. I decided to rebuild the computer using this CPU, an ASRock B550 Taichi, and 32 gigs of ram. I kept the GPU since a graphics card will pretty much cost you an organ these days, and the 1080 is still a strong performer. The 5600X is about 700 mhz faster than the 6700, has 2 additional cores and 4 more threads, a much newer architecture, and it made short work of load times! In addition to that, all cores peak at about 88%, and the GPU is now showing about 55% usage. 5600X and 6700 are both 65W chips, but it's amazing what 4 or 5 years newer tech gets you! In the AMD lineup, for gaming, the 5600X is it. The 5800X is much more expensive for only modest gains (content creation tasks aside), and the 5900X or 5950X are waaaaay more expensive and very much aimed towards content creators. The 5600X is probably the very best price:performance deal in computer chips in a very long time!Read full review

I was patient and got the best deal, when there were different kinds of Ryzen cpu's I wanted the 5600X and wasn''t disappointed I clocked it up to 4.3 ghz up the voltage a little and I have a very stable running computer on my new build, very satisfied. Performs well!.

The Ryzen 5600 is a great budget CPU for AM4, if you have an old AM4 board and want to make a little server or backup PC, the 5600 is more than powerful enough to handle anything. To be frank it will be perfectly fine as a high-end gaming CPU too, and only on the un-optimised CPU bound games will it ever be "an issue." It can end up bottle necking you if you have a heavy hitting GPU of course, The difference between the 5600 and 5600x is the power limit and that 5600x's tend to be better top binned. If you increase your power limit on the 5600... congrats, you functionally have a 5600x! Ryzen's have been really good hardware-wise so it will be a safe bet you can throw some extra power at it if you feel like you needed the base 5600x's performance boost. Good on power, good performance, handles 128gb of Ram, PCIE4 etc. This CPU is a good one.Read full review

CPU came in original packaging like new! There was a little bit of leftover thermal paste on the edges of the CPU but that was an easy cleanup. Works like a charm and was easy to install! I had to perform a BIOS update for it to work with my motherboard but that's of no fault to the seller. Thank you!

Besides having to buy another motherboard to be compatible with the 5000 series CPUs I love it. I learned just because the socket is an AM4 doesn’t mean it’s compatible with future processors. I upgraded from a Ryzen 5 2400g and couldn’t be happier with the results.
