For the 92 euros I paid for this particular processor, I have no complaints. It does its job properly in a computer for office work and gaming. With a BeQuiet Pure Rock 2 cooler, there is room to overclock up to 4.6 GHz, with a negative curve all core -20 and PBO +200 positive offset, scalar x1, PPT 120, TDC 95, EDC 130. The temperature remains at 65 degrees.

So, I've had the processor for 7 months now along with an RX 7600 for 1080p gaming. If you don't want to go to the AM5 platform, I think it's the king of 1080p for AM4. It will run all games without any issues. Now, don't make the mistake I did and get the stock cooler; with it, I had 80-83 degrees at full load and generally high temperatures. I replaced it with an Arctic Freezer 36 and at 100% load it doesn't exceed 51-52 degrees.

Excellent and VFM.
Bought new at 93-94 euros.
It fit into a b550 aorus elite V2, along with 2x8gb 3600mhz teamgroup Delta force rgb, raijintek Leto Rgb CPU cooler, and a Sparkle Arc b580 titan oc.

The system is a real beast.
The processor with pbo +200mhz, -30 per core for all cores except one at -28. Temperatures do not exceed 65-66 for any reason, even now in the summer!

The b580, which I was worried about from what I had read, turned out to be a worthy partner for the Ryzen 5 5600.
With minimal oc as well, and there is absolutely no issue so far in all games.
It seems they have greatly improved the drivers since its release and the overhead issue, as it seems, is not as prominent anymore!
Kudos to Intel as well for possibly the most VFM GPU at the moment

The processor for its price and in general is amazing. I use it for Gaming, Rendering, Editing, Photoshop and it DOESN'T EVEN FLINCH. It doesn't lag, it doesn't get too hot, and it does everything smoothly and quickly. Value for money with eyes closed.

the processor is a beast in its category even though I never supported ryzen processors and was always on the intel side, this processor changed my mind along with an rx 7600 it is the best for 1080p gaming on high graphics and high frame rates

The processor is the most vfm there is. I have a 4060, it runs all the games at satisfactory fps, but the temperatures reach 80-85 without issues, just that together with the stock cooler it makes quite a noise. If I could, I would upgrade to an rx 7700 and ryzen 7, as it struggles in more CPU-based games

I consider it one of the most VFM processors in terms of price/performance ratio! Now that its price is at the bottom, I can't even discuss it!! Just throw away the stock cooler and put something affordable from Arctic or Be Quiet...

From Athlon 860K to Ryzen 5600. Huge difference.
A bit slower than the 5900X for video editing/CAD/BIM tasks.
Combined with MSI B550 Gaming Plus & G.Skills 3600/16cl.

Very good processor. I had the AMD Ryzen 7 1700 for five years and I was very satisfied, so I chose Ryzen again. Essentially, I made the upgrade because I wanted a bit more fps in games and in emulators where the power of a processor plays a significantly larger role. I saw quite a few differences, much more than I expected for the €93 I paid, and it gave my system additional lifespan. 10/10

The best processor for gaming under 100 euros, if you don't have the budget for the Ryzen 7 5700X3D, then get this one. In games, there is very little difference from the 5600X (5-10 FPS)!

Perfect and almost no difference from the 5600X, with an air cooler of 50-60 euros I haven't seen temperatures above 65-70° with +0.2 GHz overclock.

Unbelievable value for money! The best gaming processor for its price. With the AM4 platform, I can upgrade to a 5800x3d without changing platforms!

The best processor for a budget system. Especially if you have a 1st-2nd generation Ryzen, you will see a huge difference with a simple upgrade (you might need to do a BIOS update at most). A must-have for builds up to €850; for a larger budget, I would recommend at least the Ryzen 7 5700X.

At the time I'm writing this review, the tray version is worth more than the box version, where you add +€10 in total and get a very good cooler (e.g., an Arctic Freezer 36).

Very good processor for a mid-range PC. Although it is now 2 generations behind, it is and will be fast for quite some time. With the right undervolt, it performs excellently without raising temperatures. I have it at 4.45 permanently with undervolt and it doesn't exceed 63 watts (below the stock wattage of 65) with temperatures ranging from 50 to 60 degrees under heavy load, of course. I won the "silicon lottery," as they say, and I got a good chip.... that's why the low wattage in overclocking. I wanted to move to AM5 with the Ryzen 7500F, but the budget increases a lot. Combined with the RX 6750 XT, it's just right for 1440p.

Purchased for €130. Runs esports at over 240fps. The best CPU for its price. Running it with PBO undervolt and overclock at -30mv all core and +200 boost without any instabilities.

A very good processor overall.
Combined with memory at 3200 Mhz and 16 GBs.
With a weak graphics card like the gtx 1650, it easily holds 120fps at 1080p resolutions.
I also do file conversions, small in size truth be told, videos and it works like a charm.
Surely there are better processors out there but if you don't want to spend too much, this product is an excellent choice, even though its technology is theoretically outdated.

Very powerful processor for the money but I have a small issue with temperatures, it reaches 50-55 idle and 60-70 under load

Great processor for the money and for the capabilities it offers, I highly recommend it

Very good processor, great value for money for budget builds. If you're buying something over 900 - 1000, it's better to go for am4 for future proofing.

Very impressive processor and in this price category it is difficult to find something good! It handles gaming in 2K resolution and video/image editing without any problems! I highly recommend it without hesitation.

msi b550 a-pro
2 x 16 gb 3200 MHz cl 16
rx 6600
eSports 33 cooler

In 1440p resolution:
csgo2 with fsr 135 fps
Fortnite with dx 11 150+ fps
Rocket league 100 fps
AC Valhalla 60 fps

All the above games with settings mainly on high. Low temperatures with the eSports 33, in a case with good airflow. Definitely capable of comfortably handling a much better card than the 6600.

In video editing with davinci, it performs very well, at least for the amateur use I do.

Considering I bought it used for 90 euros towards the end of 2023, it's a steal. Great value for money.

To see a noticeable performance improvement (in certain) games on AM4, you only go for x3d (which is very expensive and loses the value for money), and only if you have a powerful GPU. All the other more expensive non-x3d CPUs in the 5000 series have minimal to no differences in gaming compared to the 5600.

Upgrade from 2600x and luckily I had foreseen and bought a good motherboard back then, so I didn't need to change.
Almost negligible difference from the 5600x in gaming.
Awesome value for money

The best choice I made... Upgrade from Ryzen 7 2700X that was experiencing severe bottleneck with GTX 1660 SUPER.

Now the PC flies.

W RYZEN

Very good powerful processor with a very good price. The only disadvantage it has is that with its own cooler it reaches temperatures close to 90 degrees if your case doesn't have very good airflow. It needs case fans throughout the case to keep the temperature lower.
The old build with just one fan at the back worked fine and never had temperature issues.

I recommend the r5 5600 because it is relatively affordable and performs well with modern CPUs. I paired it with the rx 7600 and it doesn't experience any bottleneck in Fortnite. However, it does get very hot and I want a better air cooler or maybe an AIO. I do not recommend the AMD stock cooler as it reaches temperatures of 80 to 95 degrees Celsius. Have a good day!

Basically the foundation for a modern computer without significant performance compromises.
Of course, prefer a b550 motherboard to enjoy pci4.0.
I think it's the only way forward in this category.

Very good CPU.
With 16 GB RAM and an MSI RX 6600.
Cyberpunk 2077 runs at 70-90 fps on High settings.
The Outer Worlds SC Ed. runs at 90+ fps on Ultra.
The Witcher 3 Next Gen. runs at 90+ fps on Ultra.
I am using a Cooler Master Hyper 212 ARGB.
Idle temperatures are around 30-35°C and under load it reaches 63-68°C.
It is definitely worth 100% of its price!

Powerful, worth its money. Many complain about increased temperature, I provide the following link.

From 80 degrees with BIOS settings, it dropped to 60 in GtaV without any frame drops on High settings. Essentially, it locks the processor at 3.5GHz

Very good CPU, easily worth its money. It would be good to install it with a different cooler than the one it comes with in the box, for lower temperatures.
