My first time with team red! very impressed so far. I don't even feel the need to overclock CPU at all, maybe if a game needs more CPU power I will in the future but for now I don't feel the need. my games run as if i upgraded my GPU, more frames and they look so smooth its unreal!!!! I have a 5600xt. Bundle worked as intended no problems at all. One of the main reasons I got this bundle was that flushing the BIOS is always scary for me as I had a motherboard die in the past doing this, I know 99% of time is very simple and easy but I rather not do it. Very happy that i got the Wraith Spire instead of the Wraith Stealth that I think is included with Ryzen 5 5600x :). I would have liked 3600mhz memory but its not the end of the world. The only problem am having is the performance am getting out of my 970 evo plus NVMe M.2, the speeds am getting are lower than what I was getting on my old Intel system, I've been researching about this and trying different bios settings and even moved it from M.2 1 slot to M.2 2 but still the same, even with RamCache on my Samsung SATA SSD outperforms my NVMe M.2 !!!. Is this an AMD issue? is this something am doing wrong? i have no idea yet. Am planning to email CCL in case they can help, maybe a future bios update will improve things? Another weird thing is that it takes forever for PC to shut down and to restart compared to my old i5 8400 system, I have set up Dual boot so I know is not my NVMe speeds cuz the times are the same with my SATA SSD. Maybe is an AMD thing. Overall am happy, bundle mounted in the PC case everything worked, windows (once in) very snappy and my games run as if I have bought a new GPU. If I solve the issues above I will have perfection.

All came installed which was nice, sped up the building process and kept it hassle free because I didn't need to flash the BIOS. Overall a good spend if you're looking for a convenient way to get these parts for a decent price.

Good bundle for new pc builders with the latest generation of technology, so far loving it! No issues with the buying process.

With this upgrade my machine flys , glad I upgraded

No problems, pre-assembled and BIOS updated to work straight away

The bundle arrived the next day from CCL well packaged with all leads etc. The ASUS B550 F Strix and AMD 5600x are a very good gaming combination. On boot up the RAM ran at its base speed of CL16 2666mhz however by activating DOCP (AMD version of XMP) in the BIOS the memory ran at the advertised 3200mhz. Unfortunately the memory timings under DOCP whilst stable were not very good so I tightened the timings by using Ryzen DRAM calculator by 1usmus and Thaiphoon Burner to identify the appropriate memory die. I installed it in my Coolermaster H500P Mesh added a Wraith Prism cooler I picked up for 12 to bling it up a bit given the RAM has no RGB and temperatures are good. A worthwhile purchase however better memory like CL16 3600mhz should have been paired with this bundle at the 600 price however I wanted the 5600x when it was out of stock almost everywhere so had to take the rough with the smooth!

Absolutely fantastic replacement for a blown board. My Windows 10 drive hot swapped quite nicely. Updated drivers, up and running within an hour.
