Small bomb

A year of waiting and it's finally here. Coupled with an Asus Strix B550-F Gaming Wifi + 4x8GB of ram in CL18 - 3600MHZ from Corsair (Vengeance RGB version) It replaces a valiant i7 4770K which did not allow to take advantage of a RTX 3080 TUF at its maximum, and it's an understatement to say so: 1440p resolution - Watch Dogs Legion went from 40fps to 80fps in Ultra with Raytracing. - Shadow of Tomb Raider from 75fps to 143fps. I waited a long time to get my new machine, this Ryzen 5600x is a bomb and honestly, for gaming, DTP or 3D, the RYZEN 5 5600x with its 6 cores is LARGE enough. As good as the 5800x / 5900x / 5950x for gaming and almost as good as the Ryzen 7 3700x for multithreading which has 8 cores. Very low power consumption (below 3600x) and therefore does not heat up, 53° in game with a Corsair H115i RGB PLATINUM AIO. I haven't tested the OC, I don't know AMD Master so I'll have to see but it looks very good in the tests. The only negative point is the price for this range. It's 2020, it's just a load of crap... I couldn't really wait months and it was hard to find elsewhere, it was in stock at the shop and I had a 5% discount: 360 euros. Ouch... A complete setup that will last a long time and is ready for Cyberpunk 2077 and just for that... it feels good! :D

Very poor cooling => lowers frequency

In intensive use, the CPU rises to 94°, then I stop when I smell the heat... So it lowered the frequency to heat up less (less than 5% of the time at 4+ GHz, and 80% at the minimum frequency of 2.2 GHz). I replaced the initial cooling system with a big dark rock4 + grizzly thermal pad, and I was able to start again: - 12 threads out of 12, all at max frequency 4+ Ghz for more than 10 minutes - temperature does not exceed 70°. So buy a model without a radiator/fan, and add a really good one with a thermal pad (I think a slim one is enough, I went too big ^^).

        Efficient.

        Good processor, no need for heavy cooling, a large case with good airflow is enough. With a pure rock slim 2 I don't exceed 50°c in game.
        I am very happy with my purchase. Thanks LDLC.

        I was recommended this model to replace my old Ryzen 5, and I was happy with the previous one, so I went for the new generation.

        opinion

        very good product, but be careful not to pair it with an rx 6600,
        Otherwise, it's a very versatile rad supplied with it!

        Versatile for all your tasks

        High-performance processor, fast in single-core and multi-core tasks. Excellent for computing, compiling, games and office applications. Ideal for upgrading to a B550 motherboard.
        Remember to get a real heat-pipe cooling unit, the one supplied by AMD ("WRAITH STEALTH" -> 65W) is "light" and above all noisy at full load.
        All in all, a versatile CPU for all your tasks.

        efficient and not too expensive

        After several months of use I am very satisfied with this processor. It's very efficient and doesn't heat up excessively when coupled with an MSI coreliquid 360 v2 watercooling system. I've also tried it out with the AMD ventirad supplied, and although performance is a little lower in terms of temperature, it has the advantage of being very quiet!

        Happy customer!

        I've been using it every day for nearly 3 years now, and it's perfect for gaming and for the software I need. Still needs a proper cooling system for optimal use. Coupled with an MSI 360v2 I never exceed 68°c. Very happy with this purchase.

        Good value for money

        My old PC had one of the 1st 6-core AMDand the difference is monstrous. But be careful, with overclock it's not just any cooling you put in. I opted for a hydro x pro custode watercooling system and I can run it at full power without worrying about the temperature (43 degrees max over two consecutive days).

        Super CPU

        This CPU is really top notch, switching from an intel core i7 8700K, and well, really not disappointed to have switched back to AMD.
        But beware, the original ventirad is unable to take full advantage of its power.

        Quality processor

        When I bought it, I was afraid I was buying a low-quality "entry-level" product. This was also my first experience with AMD (I've always been an Intel fan) and I have to say that I've never lacked power.
        It's true that I don't do video rendering or modelling, but gaming and office work.
        Accompanied by a GTX 1080Ti and this processor, I'm able to run almost everything at ultra speed.
        I can have a huge number of tasks running in the background or things running at the same time on different sessions without the processor exceeding 48°C.

        Satisfied but...

        Since my purchase and 2 months of use, I am satisfied with this processor but I think that the 5600 (3.5GHZ) would have been more than enough for me if it had been cheaper. I should point out that I don't do OC.

        A small error in advice, even if it's not dramatic.

        So it lowered the frequency to heat up less (less than 5% of the time at 4+ GHz, and 80% at the minimum frequency of 2.2 GHz).

        I replaced the initial cooling system with a big dark rock4 + grizzly thermal pad, and I was able to start again:
        - 12 threads out of 12, all at max frequency 4+ Ghz for more than 10 minutes
        - temperature does not exceed 70°.

        So buy a model without a radiator/fan, and add a really good one with a thermal pad (I think a slim one is enough, I went too big ^^).

        Excellent upgrade!

        After many, many years spent shunning AMD products (and with good reason), I finally let myself be persuaded to give them another chance, especially for the gaming use I intend to make of them, and I don't regret my choice!
        I switched from an i7-6700 K to this Ryzen 5600X, combined with an ASUS ROG STRIX B550-F GAMING motherboard and 32 GB of Corsair Vengeance LPX 3200 MHz, and while keeping my GTX 1070 I'm noticing a colossal performance gain on my games, between 20 and 50% depending on the game! (Playing on a 1080p screen)
        When it comes to heating, make sure you have a properly ventilated case, especially if you keep the ventirad supplied with this little gem. Initially, I was getting up to 85°C with intensive use, but after adding 2 extractor fans at the top of the tower, I gained between 15 and 20°, but I'm still considering switching to a small AIO for even more efficient cooling.

        In short, a very good product at a very reasonable price, I recommend it ;)

        I love it!

        I ordered this processor a few weeks ago and I must say that I like it very much. To begin with the product arrived in two days. The packaging was fine and the package had not received any damage on the way. The processor itself works as it should. It can stay under 60°c in normal mode and can reach 80°c in gaming mode. It all depends on what you want. If you want silence. Then you have to accept that it can reach quite high temperatures. But if you want performance you'll get it. Forget about overclocking for gamers. According to the tests it makes no real difference to performance but increases consumption and temperatures for nothing. If you want to overclock go to INTEL because AMD is not your friend. For the rest. I like it a lot.

        Ryzen's reputation is well and truly established. The processor is simply powerful, reliable and has a low power consumption. I do not exceed 65° in game. You have to pair it with a powerful graphics card and a B550 motherboard to get full power. I recommend this product with my eyes closed, DO IT!

        I've never seen a processor that runs at full boost. It's automatically set to 3.6 ghz when it's set to 3.7 ghz.
        I'm sure you'll find that it's not a good idea to use a ryzen 5 3600 as the maximum speed.
        It's not a good idea to buy a ryzen 7, it's a good idea to buy a ryzen 5.

        A good compromise

        Coming from the world of Intel, an i7-3770s, the fact of still having a TDP of 65W in these times of expensive energy is a good surprise. For gaming it's a good compromise, it doesn't heat up much and with the same video card I gained some fps. In short, I'm happy with this purchase and I have a good opinion of AMD

        The best value for money on the market today!

        This processor has been a best seller since it was released. I've been eyeing it for a while and I decided to take the plunge and I don't regret it. I'm switching from a Ryzen 2600 which proved its worth at the time but is starting to get a bit tight on some games in 1440p. I was with Intel for almost 20 years before I tried an AMD processor again with the 2600, and now with this 5600x AMD has proven that it is now back in the game for the sake of our small pockets.

        super

        holds its promises, does not heat up with a Dark Pro 4 overclocked to 4675 stable at 1.35V-1.4 on all cores, validated by encoding without errors x 48 h
        excellent price/performance ratio, even if a bit expensive with penuries in early 2021

        still need to find a recent GPU one day.... to finish upgrade
        I had an i7-960k OVC at 4.2 since 2011

        I'm not sure if it's a good idea to upgrade to a 4.2 GPU, but it's a good idea to upgrade to a 4.2 GPU.
        on X470 and RAM 3600

        Good mid-range proc

        Mainly used for gaming on an ASUS ROG STRIX B550-F GAMING WI-FI motherboard (Bios update required for CPU recognition) with an MSI RTX 3070 graphics card I have not encountered any problems with this processor at the moment. It is cooled by Corsair Hydro H100i RGB Platinum SE watercooling and powered by a 650W power supply.

        The proc is at 35C° at rest and goes up to 60C° during a game session (CSGO 144hz for example) and runs at 60% occupancy.

        As always, LDLC is on time with the customer service, the package arrived 2 days before the announced delivery date.

        I am satisfied with this purchase which will last me a few years.

        Good gaming CPU

        After 1 month of use, no problem for this CPU.
        To be coupled with 3000GHz+ RAM and a good CM

        A racing beast for pure gaming

        Having purchased a 3080 a few weeks ago, I wanted to replace the 3600 as I knew the gain would be quite big according to the benchmarks (I play in 1440p)

        Result: +20 FPS on Horizon ZD
        +30 on Hitman 2
        +15 on Control

        Note that I have a B450 gigabyte and that the F60c bios update from the manufacturer's site works perfectly, my 5600X is recognized and works very well.

        Advantages :

        -Very powerful processor for pure gaming (it is a proc capable of competing with I9-10900K)
        -Low power consumption

        Disadvantages:

        -current price too high
        -don't use the supplied fan, it's not enough to keep it cool and you'll lose performance because it will heat up

        Conclusion:
        Excellent processor.

        At the top

        I took this processor as a replacement for an I5-8600k. On paper, the performance is not very different except for a higher number of cores/threads and a better cache. On an office use, you can feel the difference, on a gaming use you have to take advantage of the new AMD CPU/GPU communication technology by taking a RX 6000 to really make this 4th generation profitable!

        Small bomb

        A year of waiting and it's finally here.
        Coupled with an Asus Strix B550-F Gaming Wifi
        + 4x8GB of ram in CL18 - 3600MHZ from Corsair (Vengeance RGB version)

        It replaces a valiant i7 4770K which did not allow to take advantage of a RTX 3080 TUF at its maximum, and it's an understatement to say so:
        1440p resolution
        - Watch Dogs Legion went from 40fps to 80fps in Ultra with Raytracing.
        - Shadow of Tomb Raider from 75fps to 143fps.

        I waited a long time to get my new machine, this Ryzen 5600x is a bomb and honestly, for gaming, DTP or 3D, the RYZEN 5 5600x with its 6 cores is LARGE enough.
        As good as the 5800x / 5900x / 5950x for gaming and almost as good as the Ryzen 7 3700x for multithreading which has 8 cores.

        Very low power consumption (below 3600x) and therefore does not heat up, 53° in game with a Corsair H115i RGB PLATINUM AIO.

        I haven't tested the OC, I don't know AMD Master so I'll have to see but it looks very good in the tests.

        The only negative point is the price for this range.
        It's 2020, it's just a load of crap...
        I couldn't really wait months and it was hard to find elsewhere, it was in stock at the shop and I had a 5% discount: 360 euros. Ouch...

        A complete setup that will last a long time and is ready for Cyberpunk 2077 and just for that... it feels good! :D
