What can you ask more than the ryzen 5 5600 for 1080p, well nothing, the ryzen 5 5600 is cheap and perfect, it was an instant buy for me after a few days of research, combined with a b550 motherboard or x570 if you want more functionalities with an rx 6600 xt or rx 7600 it makes an absolute beast of a pc for a cheap price.(It comes with cooler and thermal paste)Edit 1: Ive been using it daily for extended periods of time for a few months now, forcing it to his maximum and i can say that it still holds well i recommand it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Good value CPU for gamers
Reviewed in Canada on June 22, 2024
Verified Purchase
This CPU is still a great purchase for midrange gamers. If you have a modest budget this CPU will do you well and there is an upgrade path to the X3d parts in the future.

The CPU runs cool and is efficient. It has enough cores for gaming and productivity. It is very similar to the X part and could be overclocked to reach those speeds, but i think you are better off running it cooler at lower energy levels

It's processors like this that are keeping the aging AM4 socket viable these days. The performance to cost ratio is good and supports pci4, unlike the 5500.

The Ryzen 5 5600 is seriously awesome for its price! It handles everything I throw at it like gaming and multitasking without any hiccups. No upgrade path going with this CPU since AM5 is here but still a decent option.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great Value, but...
Reviewed in Canada on July 12, 2023
Verified Purchase
Excellent CPU and platform especially for the price. Low power consumption at idle, handles CPU loads well. A pretty huge step up from my fx-8300 in my homelab setup.

Only issue was the CPU did not seat into the socket, pin inspection did not seem to have a bent pin, but upon very close inspection one pin was ever so slightly tilted. Was able to bend it back with a plastic shim and the socket helped guide it straight.

5.0 out of 5 stars 4.65ghz +200 PBO stable
Reviewed in Canada on January 5, 2023

Have this under water with an EK block. PBO +200 & -18 mv on each core.
Has been rock solid stable, but I haven't tried to overclock it past the +200 yet.

I don't see much of a point as the performance gains are minimal compared to the effort.
Coming from a 2500k & then a 2600x for a short awhile, I really enjoy the stable performance & low power usage.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best value mid-range CPU for it's generation. High value for Low to Medium systems.
Reviewed in the United States on August 15, 2023
Verified Purchase
As of this review I have already upgraded as planned to a 5800x3d with an aftermarket cooler and used those for a while but here is my review from memory.

The 5600 and X variant DO NOT have on-board graphics if you are building with that in mind please look at the 5600g variant or a newer APU.

This CPU was a massive upgrade for me in gaming and even more for productivity from a very old Intel CPU so take that with a grain of salt.

In gaming this is a very powerful CPU for the vast majority of people. If you are gaming under 144hz and on a budget this is easily one of the best you can get from this generation.

This is continually one of, if not the highest, value cpu's as it comes with a very beefy performance for its cost and a cooler all in one package.

I had near-flawless performance when used on my 144hz 1440p monitor in most of my games. I generally reduce in-game settings to accommodate higher framerate which does often reduce CPU load as well but reducing max framerates to 120 and more-so 90 at comparable settings would be even more ideal if going for higher settings or a smoother 1% framerate experience for fast games.

Productivity - I had two monitors and often I watch videos, streamers, chat with friends and browse(browsers can be quite CPU intensive at times due if not using hardware-encoding which in my case I did not due to compatibility issues with other software)

All-in-all if you are building a new system, you may want to look at the newer AMD 7600 lineup as it is very similar, but if squeezing out a smaller budget with a very good sale or a used purchase, the 5600 will last you at minimum 4 years without issue.

5.0 out of 5 stars El mejor procesador en su momento (Ryzen 5 - 5600 gran sucesor) NO COMPRAR REMATE ALMACEN
Reviewed in Mexico on September 19, 2022
Verified Purchase
Despues de casi 3 años de uso y que ha llegado la serie 5000 y pronto la serie 7000 en AM5; puedo decir que es un gran procesador, por un precio muy accesible.

Pasar del R5 2600 al R5 5600 es la mejor opcion y ademas estan al momento de escribir esta reseña al "mismo" precio que cuando el R5 2600 se lanzó.

Si buscan darle un ultimo respiro a sus equipos aun teniendo AM4 y chipset X370, B550 o X570 esta es una excelente opción de bajo costo al menos para darle vida a su equipo sin rezagarse mucho en lo que DDR5 se vuelve la normalidad quiza por el 2025 o 2026, mientras tendran un gran procesador.

EDIT. Devolvi el CPU despues de 10 días de intentar hacer jalar la PC con este CPU, me costo una motherboard brickeada (x370-F Gaming), una nueva fuente de poder (RM850) que son 5000-6000 pesos por que esta pieza no funciono.

Si su computadora, empieza a hacer cosas raras despues de instalar una pieza que vender Amazon Remates de Almacen, mejor devuelvanla lo mas rapido posible y compren algo nuevo y sellado antes que les heche a perder mas piezas y gasten mas (como en mi caso).

No le quito estrellas por que hacen la devolucion integra, pero mientras este CPU defectuoso que compre por ahorrarme 200MXN me hizo gastar 6000 extras, ustedes diran si vale la pena ahorrarse 200.

5.0 out of 5 stars Performances puissantes avec l'AMD Ryzen 5 5500 et son ventilateur Wraith Stealth
Reviewed in France on July 15, 2024
Verified Purchase
L'AMD Ryzen 5 5500 est vraiment impressionnant en termes de performances informatiques. La puissance de traitement est au rendez-vous, et le multitâche est super fluide. Franchement, il répond parfaitement à mes attentes.

Par contre, le ventilateur Wraith Stealth fourni est un peu décevant. Il fait le boulot en termes de refroidissement, mais j'aurais aimé qu'il soit un peu plus performant, surtout quand je lance des tâches gourmandes en ressources.

Malgré mes petites réserves sur le ventilateur, ce processeur reste un excellent choix pour ceux qui cherchent une bonne puissance de traitement avec un processeur AMD. Si vous avez des exigences thermiques plus élevées, ça pourrait valoir le coup d'investir dans un système de refroidissement supplémentaire. Idéal pour monter un PC équilibré, capable de faire tourner pas mal de jeux et de travailler de manière fluide sans se ruiner !
