Purchased this when upgrading my system. It is a great experience and improved performance for my system
lee8736 –
Great processor, powerful and great results from PBO, recommend getting a nonstock cooler like Noctura or a decent AIO to pair with it, as the 5600x is known for running hot under load. None the less, reaching almost 5ghz PBO and a maximum temperature of 95c(don’t actually let it go there lol), this thing puts in work.
TannerT –
Excellent performance in my system. The cooler is very quiet.
AliciaN –

I run all ryzen in my house. I am an IT guy and was a fan of amd back in the day. at one point the could not touch intel, but now there cpus are legit, and I believe they’re the best deal for the money. i have a 5600x,5800x,and 5800x3d. can’t say enough about amd.

EricaB –
Great product, would purchase again for my other computer
Andrew –
While this CPU may be over 3 years old it is still a very capable Processor in 2024. This comes with a cooler in the box which is not enough to cool the processor I recommend buying a after market one.

It’s a good starter CPU for building a beginner PC. i recommend it.

JesseD –
Solid proc, coolers low profile. price was the same as newegg.
Bottom –
As a mom who thought a CPU was a new type of educational program, embarking on a Christmas mission to rebuild my son’s PC introduced me to the world of processors and motherboards – a drama filled with twists, turns, and tech jargon I still don’t understand.
The Saga Begins:
Our journey started with the AMD Ryzen 5 5600X, a processor that sounded more like a secret agent than a computer part. This ‘agent’ was ready for a new partner, as the old motherboard had a fling with an Intel processor and things didn’t work out (apparently, it’s like mixing stripes with polka dots in the tech world).
The Blind Date:
Enter the MSI B550 Gaming Plus motherboard. I introduced it to Ryzen 5, nervously hoping they’d hit it off. I mean, what if they didn’t like each other? Do motherboards swipe left?
Why I Love Ryzen 5 5600X:
1. 6 Cores, 12 Threads: Sounds like a lot. More is better, right?
2. Unlocked: Which means… it’s ready for adventure? Go Ryzen!
3. Wraith Stealth Cooler: It comes with its own cooler! It’s like showing up to a date with ice cream.
The Perfect Match:
To my relief, the Ryzen 5 and the MSI B550 were like peanut butter and jelly. They clicked instantly. The Ryzen’s performance paired with the B550’s features was a tech love story in the making.
Mom’s Take on Tech Dating:
Watching these two components come together was like watching a rom-com where the nerd gets the cool kid. And let me tell you, the end result was a happy son with a super-fast, super-cool computer.
The Happily Ever After:
This love story ends with the Ryzen 5 5600X and the MSI B550 Gaming Plus living happily ever after in a PC case. As for me, I’m still trying to figure out what a ‘thread’ is in processor terms, but hey, as long as the tech lovebirds are happy, so am I.
Note: This review is based on my personal, and quite comedic, experience of pairing the AMD Ryzen 5 5600X with the MSI B550 Gaming Plus Motherboard, through the lens of a mom who’s new to the world of PC building.
Wayland –
It’s a really good cpu and performs well in games, I recommend this if it’s your first time building a pc.
Riley –
Perfect for 1440p gaming and multitasking. Works very nice for my needs. Will be buying ryzen again!
Paulking191 –
Bought this for my first custom built PC. It’s performed really well, handles running streamed video on one screen with a game on the other with no issues.
MattL –
Amazing product! I use this in my media computer for video editing and minimal gaming and this has no problem whatsoever!
EaganD –
It’s good but I’ve had a lot of moment when I first used and and now of it just needing to use all the cpu power it can grab. Going up to the 80-90 range when running a game on all low settings. But with that said there is NO Lag And Amazing quality just is scary when it’s being used that hard and won’t last long I would guess.
Caesary –
Very good processor for gaming, it can run everything
GabrielEncarnacion –
Bought this for my mother’s computer and she loves it so far for her needs paired well with the RX 6600 gpu
user165550 –
This cpu is great for the price. Fast and reliable. Got it for my wife who has been obsessed with BG3 it keeps up.
TrevonS –
I got this as an upgrade since i was still on a 5th gen i7 and i have no complaints on it. I am able to run games that wasnt able to on my pervious set up.
Boyd –
Works great! Picked it up on sale too, it is a great all around cpu.
KimB –
Very solid CPU and a great price! Just be aware there are no dedicated graphics on this CPU.
