Question 1

Does this come with thermal pad or paste?

Accepted Answer

It comes with paste pre-applied to the cooler, you will need to be careful to not smear it before placing it onto the CPU.

Question 2

Does this actually come with a Wraith Stealth CPU cooler?

Accepted Answer

Some do, some don't.  This is what I recommend you doing, because I can't go through every single AMD Ryzen CPU to see if it does or not.
They always say it comes with a Wraith Stealth CPU cooler (or not).

Question 3

What motherboard socket type and RAM specifications are required for installing the AMD Ryzen 5 5600 3.5G processor?

Accepted Answer

The AMD Ryzen 5 5600 uses the AM4 socket, so you'll need a motherboard with an AM4 socket to install it. It supports DDR4 RAM, typically up to 3200 MHz officially, which is standard for most Ryzen 5000 series CPUs. Make sure your motherboard BIOS is updated if you're using one from an older generation to ensure compatibility.

For best performance, pairing the CPU with dual-channel DDR4 memory at or above 3200 MHz can help reduce any bottlenecks, especially in gaming or multitasking scenarios. If you’re upgrading an older system, just double-check your motherboard’s CPU support list or BIOS version, since some earlier AM4 boards require an update before running Ryzen 5000 series chips.

You would want the g variant of the 5600, instead, for built-in video. Do keep in mind, however, that the 5600g uses the pci 3.0 revision, instead of the 4.0 that this and the 5600x makes use of. Not great for upgrades in the future.
