  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!

  This review is about the packaging: Tray

  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.

  The best Value for Money Meta CPU!

  I consider it at €90 to be a sure choice for 1080p/1440p gaming (depending on the graphics card). If combined with RX 6000/7000 series and B550/X570, you have Smart Access Memory, which is very positive for AMD Builders.

  5600 VS 5600X: 5600 is the winner. €30 cheaper to lose 1% that you can gain back with a CPU speed boost... €30 that could go towards RAM, for example, and you can do 2x8 to 2x16 for the more demanding games....!

  5600 vs 12400f: If you go with AMD, the 10% you lose from the 5600 is gained back with the card (SAM). If you want something future-proof and NVIDIA, I would go for the 12400f to upgrade in 3 years when and if needed, to 14700f with around €250 and get another 2-3 years of PC use and NVIDIA to have room so I don't bottleneck from the CPU.

  WARNING! The processor is on a platform that is slowly being phased out... DDR5 prices drop by around €5 over time, and already the 2x16gb from last year at €188 went down to €110 (the 6000mhz), B650 dropped within the semester, and AM5 CPUs are €200 for 7600X or €175 for 7500f. So keep this in mind, don't overspend on an AM4 motherboard and DDR4! In my opinion, a 2x16gb DDR4 3600mhz (€60) and a B550/550M for €85-120 (Aorus Elite/Gaming X2/Asus Prime Plus/MSI Mortar-Tomahawk) is a very good solution for around €250 for a good upgrade and not to buy a used 8th or 9th generation Intel combo set for €250-300 on the marketplace...

  Tip for Enthusiasts: CPU ratio "45" + CPU frequency "110mhz" without extra voltage, instead try 0.25v reduction... final speed of my system is 4.950mhz (4.95ghz) @ 1.225v with the stock cooler at 55-65c in gaming.

  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

  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.
  How to reduce temperature: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kvxykSMBxaY&t=497s&fbclid=IwAR2TWoxRq4kQsHe8mGZsbHF8i-UZ3X1S1a2YgNyfzfNuz5emdW636K88Ix8
  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

  The processor is very powerful, more than I expected, and also warmer (75°C with the stock cooler in heavy games like The Last of Us with poor optimization on the CPU). I needed to get another cooler, so I got the Arctic Freezer 34 Duo, and it reaches a maximum of 57°C. It is capable for gaming and other similar tasks. I haven't tried it for video editing, but I believe it will be able to handle the basics. Also, I don't see a reason to go for Intel, which changes sockets and processors every week, and their processors are more expensive (although they are good, but in Greece we care more about value, so AMD is worth it)

  Very good processor for its price.
  It does everything and it's worth it.
  I, at least, am satisfied since I mainly bought it for gaming.
  WARNING!!!
  This specific one does not have integrated graphics... if you're building a PC and don't have a graphics card, you won't be able to use it on any monitor.

  Coming from the 2200G. The difference is huge. Even in Chrome, when you open multiple tabs together, you can notice the difference in speed and extra cores, let alone when you do more demanding tasks. At the 100 Euros that I bought it, it is value for money.

  PSA! Put your own thermal paste if you can, removing the stock one from the cooler first. (or even better, put a different cooler)
  The stock thermal paste from AMD tends to stick to an extreme degree, so much so that it can be dangerous for the cooler to come off with the CPU stuck to it during a future upgrade! It happened to me with the 2200G and with a quick research on Reddit/YouTube, it is a common phenomenon!

  It works perfectly, truly incredible for its price. The only small "issue" is the temperature with its cooler, which is not that good, but in the near future, with an upgrade to the cooler, it will be fine. Overall, very satisfied. I recommend it!

  I replaced my i7-7700 and I am very satisfied with the upgrade. If you enable Precision Boost in demanding tasks, the processor exceeds the 65W TDP, causing the stock cooler to be unable to cool it down. Specifically, running Handbrake with the stock cooler resulted in 95 degrees Celsius (thus thermal throttling), while with the Be Quiet Pure Rock 2 it reached 78 degrees Celsius with a consumption of 75W and a locked frequency of 4.400MHz. Therefore, to get the maximum performance from the processor, an aftermarket cooler is needed.

  It's a very good processor on both Linux and Windows, performing very well in games as well as any kind of virtual machine I've run (it handles multiple tasks very well). I'm currently facing an issue with temperature, but it's nothing that can't be fixed by purchasing a better cooling system, since I've been using the one provided by AMD until now.
