One of the best cores available in terms of processor power per pound.

Responds quickly and doesnt overheat.

Perfect CPU for a gaming pc

Excellent retailer,no issues at all.

A much needed upgrade for my system, used to run an i5 4400k and It couldnt handle new release games. after the switch to the 5600x I can run anything I want. I would recommend if you need to update an older system and want something that will stay relivent a bit longer than a 3600 or 3600x

Good value for money.

Arrived ahead of schedule, well packaged and in expected condition. I had no issue with the installation and have had no problems with use of the product.

Great product. The included cooler is not so good, it makes a slight humming noise that can get a little annoying but considering it is included with the CPU, it's perfectly acceptable.

Good CPU for the money

very pleased indeed , note to buyer dont panic when u see higher temps that previous gen cpu this is normal ie.. idleis around 30 .full load can reach 70c for me although ive discovered this isnt that hot, max temp is supposedly 95c

Only issue seemed to be one of the screws wouldn't bite when screwing fan to motherboard. Doesn't seem to have caused a major problem

No qualms or worries with this chip at all.

One of the best CPU's of the modern PC world, fast and quiet, able to handle the most mundane or demanding of activities with ease. When paired with components of equal quality makes a great machine fit to meet the challenges of years to come. Very pleased.

no issues so far with all the programs that I am using. this comes with an AMD wraith cooler

Good processor for gaming.

A great upgrade for me, although not a fair comparison, going from an i5 4690k with an ssd drive to this + an M.2 drive, the speed difference and workload capability of this combo is fantastic.

Fantastic cpu. Huge upgrade over my 1600x

Best value/price ratio on the market for high end gaming pc. With AIO watercooling i barely go above 60c and works just fine for any game. Honestly most games are GPU limited so i never have more than 50% usage.

this is the perfect cpu for people who want the highest fps in games at a good price point. I don't edit or render much so i don't need more than 6 cores. in overwatch i get 400 fps and it's great (3070 gpu)

Received very fast from ccl. very good cpu. can handle very high end gpus

Best bang for buck CPU out there.

amazing value and proformance

Good Solid processor, and CCL had the item at the best possible price.

5600x processor arrived quite quickly and it was discounted. Great service by CCL.

CCL on a par or better with other suppliers for price, and customer service as always go out of their way to make it a smooth process even when you mess them around like I did :) The CPU? 6 cores, twelve threads, low power now sitting nicely in a Fractal 304 chassis at the side of my desk working exactly as expected. Just like my own personal mini fridge :D

This cpu is great, good quality and great for the price. Was able to snag it for msrp and is great in my pc build. It fits great with my 3060.

Price:performance ratio is well worth it. Not only that, CCL do offer an excellent service. Thanks CCL

Whats got 6 cores, a low TDP and an included fan that "does the job"? This processor. It's great, but given the current scalper led market it's also waaaaay over priced. I bought at 30+ over the MSRP. An MSRP by the way that still makes this a slightly expensive value proposition v.s. the 5800X.

Very fast cpu, work amazingly for gaming and work.

This is an excellent CPU and is an all rounded good performance middle of the road CPU ! I highly recommend for a decent value for money and performance CPU

best value CPU for average build.

Exceptional CPU

Phenomenal CPU, feels like you're in the future. Low TDP, keeps cool with a 212 evo and includes a good in box cooler

Fantastic cpu, coupled with a decent gpu is more than adequate for all the latest AAA games, and excellent service as always from CCL

A lot of bang for your bucks. Coming from an older Skylake i5 6500 I was impressed by just how fast this CPU is.

Out of stock everywhere or 50 over rrp, but ccl computers had some at a good price. Fast delivery too!

Very pleased

CPU recommended !!

Runs anything very quickly, haven't had an issue yet

Great CPU. Plenty Single and Multi Thread Performance for most tasks. Huge improvement over my 10 year old i5-2500K. Very satisfied

Great processor with amazing bench test scores. I'm Running with 3600mhz Ram which apparently is the sweet spot for this CPU. Motherboard is a MSI Tomahawk X570 which again at this CPU price point is the best choice. I did loads and loads of research before settling for this set up and I'm so glad I did.

Amazing CPU, worth the upgrade

only had it for a little while but enjoying this CPU

Excellent processor with great performances for the price, a good bound for the Radeon RX 6800 XT, just what gamers need!

Thanks to your excellent sales staff I'm referring to Jack M CCL Computers has been a enjoyable experience throughout So Thanks again

bought this CPU with a Gigabyte B550 AORUS PRO motherboard, great CPU, and runs well without any issues.

great cpu for the value and good performance.

Bought ryzen 5600x together with Gigabyte B550 AORUS Elite v2 everything works great together!

After watching and reading reviews I decided that this would be the best choice to last for a while with the new architecture from AMD. The cpu does what I want exceptionally well, I do a lot of CAD work as well as play games and this gave the best of both worlds. The prices on CCL were very competitive and were some of the cheapest around for this cpu and had stock. I look forward to properly testing the cpu and seeing what is capable of but so far is working well.

Great good value cpu, came quickly and as described

The 5600x seem able to access motherboard resources more efficiently - Running a full 4 pass memtest86 V9.0 on a 3800x indicates a speed of 19179 MB/s and takes 6 hours 16 mins to complete. The 5600x indicates a speed of 48521 MB/s and takes 4 hours and 19mins to complete with everything else the same (Aorus X570 Pro / Ballistix 32 GB DDR4 3600).

Moved to Ryzen 5600x from intel. This processor is amazing. Very fast and cool.

Best pound for pound CPU for performance at the moment! Undervolted it for a nice little boost with the new AMD bios update.

Brilliant up to date processor for desktop and gaming. It's day and night compared to what I was experiencing with my i5 6600k. If you are still in quad-core now is the time to change.

Came on time and not broken

Great processor, paid more than other stores but CCLs queue system is great.

Very Good!

Nice CPU, good Shop

Where everywhere else didnt have . Ccl got , ordered and came next day. Everyone happy.

Great cpu, very noticeable upgrade from the 3600 although maybe not worth twice the price.

One of the best CPUs on the market from team Red. If you can find one for the manufacturer recommended retail price, snap it up.

Great gaming CPU, would recommend.

Insane gaming performance. Upgraded from an i7 8700k. Word of warning though: make sure your RAM is optimal for ryzen 5000, or you risk leaving a sizable performance unused.

5600x go brr

Excellent CPU, fast delivery. I've always had a good experience with CCL.

The best bang-for-bucks cpu for gaming bar none. Top class service from CCL, fast shipping and notified every step of the way.

My review isn't going to change your mind, but yes it's an excellent CPU

Fast processor at great price

I bought this as I'm rebuilding a gaming rig that's got a bit long in the tooth. I'm using it with an MSI X570 Tomahawk WiFi motherboard and they seem to work well together. It's got plenty of power for my gaming needs - I really don't need any more cores and it's single core speed is better than previous Ryzen's apparently. This is the first non Intel platform I've built as Intel CPU's were always far superior for gaming but not any longer it seems. I'm not even bothering to overclock as it's boost speed is great without it. My systems are watercooled but even so this processor seems to run nice and cool. My maximum temperatures recorded whilst gaming never really exceed 50 degrees which is very low. Overall this seems to have the ideal balance of cores, speed and price for a top level gaming rig and I highly recomend it. If only I could find an RTX 3080 to pair it with......

This is a great CPU and plays all modern games on high settings when paired with a good graphics card. The price was a bit inflated due to supply shortages in December.

Coming from an i5-6500, the 5600x is blazingly fast. Complex Boolean operations with millions of vertexes in Blender are significantly quicker, even using the same 2133mhz RAM. One thing to note is that the 5600x runs much hotter than I was expecting. My i5 idled at 30C and maxed out at 65C under load. The 5600x idles at around 40C and maxes out at around 90C with the stock cooler. At first I thought I'd installed the stock heatsink and fan incorrectly, but according to AMD, these temperatures are normal and nothing to be concerned about. I do see some thermal throttling when under sustained load (from 4.3Gghz down to 4.19). That is only when fully loading all cores with combined CPU+GPU rendering, which is a heavier load than I'd expect when gaming.

Super strong chip, I am now in red team and I dont think I will go back to blue. Has a fantastic value for the performance, Would reccomend

Very stylish, arrived earlier than expected.

Great cpu

Grease Lightning! This CPU and it's cousins are game changers. Not very long ago at all, performance at this level was simply unobtainable without a significant corporate type budget. Seriously impressed by the performance so far. No hesitation in recommending.

When comparing between 3700x and this product the 5600x won on all things gaming. If i had r a workstation CPU the 3700x would be better. Good price a little over RRP but stocks are low and not over priced

One of the best high end gaming processors, and the best one for vale-for-money.

one of the best current gaming CPUs

Great value for a price for a gaming PC. Comes with adequate cooler but I'd look into getting AIO for possibility to OC.

Basically all you need for a gaming PC. Good value for a price.

Good quality

good cpu.

Definitely the best value CPU available! Spent many hours looking at various CPU's and am very happy with my choice. Also, a great price from CCL, combined with a Gigabyte B550 Aorus Pro.

Best cpu for gaming and affordable

One of the best value for money cpu. CCL offered the most competitive pricing and delivery was free and fast!

Superfast CPU with great performance across different applications.

Best value for money CPU for gaming at the moment. Bought alongside Gigabyte's B550 Aorus Elite AX V2. Cheapest I found in the UK at under 300

Great bang for buck processor, CCL managed their stock and order queue really well during a difficult time for CPU stocks worldwide. Sent it straight away, couldnt fault the service received! 5*

Fantastic product and delivered really quickly. Thanks CCL.

it was a bit pricy when i bought it due to the limited stock. Its a fantastic gaming chip.

Brilliant product, very powerful they say good things come in small packages... This definately exceeds expectations

Pound for pound, this is the best gaming CPU currently on the market.

Blazingly fast. Perfect upgrade from R5 3600. Nice bump in single core performance, with the all core performance ramped up too. Couldn't be happier. Value for money, 4 stars as I had to pay a 40 premium on RRP to secure one due to limited stock.

Great value and really fast delivery once in stock! Great bundled with the aorus x570 pro!

Fab processor for gaming, upgraded from 1800x and not disappointed

bought the ryzen 5600x to upgrade from intel 4790k and what an upgrade. amazing perfomance and as always CCL delivered ontime on a sunday.

Amazing processor, perfect for gaming.

Great upgrade from an intel 4790k. As always CCL bang on with price and arrived on time.

Got the Gigabyte B550I AORUS PRO AX ITX Motherboard and AMD Ryzen 5 5600X for gaming build - This processor is an amazingly fast piece of kit and the power draw is so low! Makes my old i7-4790K feel slow + hot! Doing the benchmarks has seen an immediate increase in FPS for some of my games. Very happy.

spot on cpu.

Lightning fast with an impressively low power draw. Great CPU and one of the best prices currently, though would be even better if it was available at the recommended retail price.

Made the jump to AMD and everything works well so far, paired with Gigabyte X570 AORUS PRO and worked straight out of the box.

At the moment it's the ideal balance of power and a low 65w TDP at a resonable price

Superb processor especially for the money.

I fully recommend this top notch CPU!

great processor however price drops on intel have lowered the value

6 fast cores, decent cooler included. Can't beat the value.

Great cpu, but be careful on prices...Few days after I ordered, it dropped by 20, and the motherboard I ordered dropped 18...So I've lost 38 because I ordered a few days earlier...The cpu itself it's great, and would benefit of a lower price, and without the cooler that comes with, I doubt people would use it anyway... A bit steep on price for a 6 core cpu, but, hopefully in the next few months the price will come down to under 300, and will worth it more :)

just great

I got this baby running on stock cooler, Great value and performance

Great single core performance and very impressively low tdp

Amazing processor!

Great value and performance, not much to envy to the bigger brothers and not much performance difference.

Good speeds out of the box

Best cpu for the money in 2020

By far the best gaming CPU for the price on the market.

ientb: Nice mid-range CPU from AMD

Wow, I've got this baby running on stock cooler & actually doing some heavily threaded work & although it looks like there appears to be some reduction in boost due to temps (not the 95 throttle, but I've read over ~ 65 or 68 the boost is reduced) it's crunching through the workload 6 times faster than it's replacement i5-4570 ...chip + 4 * the ram to be more accurrate. All the reviews I read tended to be gaming focused, if you're looking to use the threads too, then I'd recommend a descent cooler. My initial guestimate is it will run another 15% or so faster if kept under the boost limit. Excellent chip.

Great performance from the latest Ryzen mid-range CPU

Finally catching up to Intels IPC and still maintaining the multi-core lead. Glad to grab one of these so close to launch.

Good processor

Recent purchase, have been surprised by performance gain over 3600, very stable, not overclocked by much yet but very pleased with purchase.

Replaced my Ryzen 5 1600 with 5600x. Huge improvement in speed and efficiency. Value for money only gets 4 stars as had to pay a premium over RRP to get this.

Bought this along with Gigabyte Aorus B550 Elite to replace my Ryzen 5 1600. Huge improvement over the 1600 in speed and efficiency. Only 4 stars for "value for money" as I had to pay a premium over the rrp.

Really good cpu for gaming

The performance of this processor is beyond words. I never expected performance that I got with my chip for the price I paid for it. Definitely recommend this processor to anyone wanting an upgrade.
