    Heavy duty for a small price

    Mounted in a Be Quiet Pure Base 500DX, it is the heart of a PC I put together for a colleague who was entering the PC world.
    It's heavy, not the most violent, but the price/performance ratio is top notch.

    Config :
    5600X
    RTX 2060
    X570 AORUS Ultra
    16GB DDR4
    980 pro 256gb
    SSD 1TO
    Noctua NH-U12S
    This is a good configuration that hits 7000 on 3D Mark Time SPY and it works well, the GPU is a bit slow though. A bit hot with the NH-U12S

    In short: a good proco that I think will last a long time

    Impeccable RAS

    It's a great system, plugged in, it works, doesn't get hot with a little water cooling
    the power difference between my old i7 2600 is not as big as expected.

    Very good

    I had a server (without display) assembled by LDLC. As it will be running 24 hours a day, I wanted to keep the power consumption low while providing good performance. This processor is fast, multi-core and has low power consumption, exactly what I wanted! I am sure it will last me many years.

    Impeccable

    This processor runs beautifully and it doesn't bottleneck when coupled with an RTX 2060. Mounted with a BeQuiet Pure Rock 2 (Noctua thermal head) it goes up to 60C max after 2 hours of Red Dead Redemption 2, almost all in ultra. I recommend it.

    Monstrous

    A real power monster! The whole with a very correct consumption and temperatures ( 45 max until now with a watercooling 360mm)My configuration :CPU : Ryzen 5 5600x ( its base frequency of 3,7 GHz)Motherboard : MSI B550 Gaming PlusGPU : MSI Radeon RX 5500 XT 8GbRAM : 32Gb Corsair LPX 3200 MHzSamsung 970 Evo NVME diskThis gives in game :- 140 fps on Battlefield 4 in Ultra- 120 fps on Rainbow Six in Elev- 90 fps on Sea of Thieves in UltraThe results are largely limited by the graphics card, I can't wait for a new GPU to really exploit the capabilities of the processor!
