-Easy to cool with air cooler running under 65c at all times. -Utilization is always under 5%, I have yet to find a task that puts it under any stress. -Overclocking is super easy, one click in the BIOS. -CRAZY FAST -AMD's Adrenaline software and current driver updates have made them a real competitor.

Low power consumption, excellent thermal performance and great performance for gaming and multitasking

it overclocks just barely slower than the x version, but it still performs great and stays cool. uses less power than the regular 5600 or the x version. even using unreal 5 it does good, but for 1080p gaming, i dont see a bottleneck when paired with a 6600.

Obviously simple to install it make my system run nice and fast. No real issues until I try to setup XMP. I really do like the CPU.


Power usage is surprisingly low

It was amazing for a am4 build

Been using this CPU for a month now, seated in an ASUS Crosshair X670E Hero motherboard with G Skill DDR5 6000 CL30 AMD EXPO 32GB memory and a Radeon 6950XT GPU. As reviews state when fully stressed CPU will hit 95C with boost clock 5.2-5.85GHz adjusted accordingly in synthetic benchmarks. However in real world applications I commonly see 6.3GHz on 12 of my 16 cores when gaming or video encoding running max at 84C cooled by a Cooler Master ML360 AIO.


Wokrs good no problems easy install

Best processor gaming

super fast

Boost above the base clock. Amd commitment to a long term chip.

Good price/performance. Using it for a recording studio and so far it shrugs off anything I can throw at it. Very please.

Beastie of a processor after updating the bios. Runs well and steady.

- Extremely fast - Less power hungry than equivalent intel chip

Strong performance in all environments!!

Good performance for the money. Would normally have ordered an i7, but as this was an upgrade on a 6 year old computer so that it could run Windows 11, it's performance was going to exceed the existing i7 anyways -- and was already happy with the older CPU's performance.

Multi core Low thermals

There is nothing to say except amazing! Right out of the box it will impress. Best CPU ever!
