Performance for Price

After gaming on a mid tier CPU for a bout 5-6 years (i5 4460) in a prebuilt I bought, I finally decided this year was time to upgrade and I am very happy with this choice for a CPU.
The 5600x is more than enough for gaming it seems and I am very happy with it.

Wanted to upgrade from a Intel 4790 which served me really well for over 5 years. This CPU is just fantastic, got very lucky with ordering one with Amazon due to the very high demand and the scalpers. Have this mounted on an MSI B550 Carbon Wi-Fi which I got for a great price. The only issue I have run into is my particular memory will not run at 3600 with XMP on though is stable at 3200. This is more to do with my RAM so I would advise checking the QVL lists from the motherboard vendor. This may change for me with future BIOS updates. Gaming performance is fantastic. Hoping to get another 5 years with my new setup, really happy I upgraded now on a mature AM4 platform.

Great CPU

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 6 January 2021

Went from a i7 4790k to the 5600X, and it's noticeably faster both in single threaded and multi-threaded applications. OK, my previous CPU is a few years old, so that's to be expected, but the old processor was no slouch. The 5600X also runs far cooler. I could easily configure the fans to give me a very quiet PC with the CPU at about 65 degrees under load at stock clocks and voltages, or a very cool PC (mid 50s degrees) by bumping the fan curves a little. This was with my existing AIO though, I've not tried the cooler that was bundled with the CPU.

In games, at 1440p, I'm often GPU limited so there's no a huge bump in fps for the new CPU, and I don't expect the 5600X to be be the limiting factor in gaming for me for a long time.

So why four and not five stars? Price, and I mean MSRP, not the £400 these can appear at right now (Jan 21). Even at £280, this is quite a bit more than the 3600 or i5 10600KF (which are about £180 and £225 respectively right now). If you're only gaming, and don't have a top end GPU, the 3600 or 10600KF would likely perform as well. If you're using your PC for other things (coding, content creation etc), then the 5600X might well be worth it, but I really wouldn't pay more than £300.

I overpaid for this but it is an amazing cpu

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 26 November 2020

The CPU is as amazing as the reviews said it was, in games it feels like I updated my GPU to go with it. I would point you towards the hardware unboxed review on youtube as that was more thorough than anything I could write here.

One thing to note is that this is still very new hardware so many motherboards will require a USB bios update for this to work. My MSI B550 had me worried that the CPU didn't work for about half an hour but a quick download to a usb stick, plugging it in and pressing a button on the motherboard solved the whole issue.

Pricing is a bit mmmmm. But still a fantastic cpu

We all know about the pricing fiasco. AMD have cranked up prices and we dont even see those when they land on the retail shelves......
Hence the docked star

However, this is a stonking cpu. mine was holding 4.65ghz across 4 cores and even fully loaded barely hits 65c on a 240mm aio set to silent mode. It even seems to of reduced some of my performance issues in ACC (i use it for 4k/VR so wasnt expecting much).
Everybenchmark i run it crushes everything i have upto 4 cores. And upto about 10 threads only my 3900x can come close.
Yes none of us like the price - but this sort of performance.. and i can drop it in any of my AM4 machines... any hate is quickly overwhelmed with love.
I was going to skip getting a 5900x, but after getting the 5600x for my vr rig - i cant wait to get hold of two of them 'glued' together.
Good times AMD.
