To run a second Gen Ryzen like the one you are looking at, the motherboard may require a BIOS update, this can only be done with a 1st Gen Ryzen or an A-Series Chip. If you contact our sales team on 01274 471 201. - Matthewt

Does what it says on the box. Took a little more effort to fit, having to fit with screws through Mboard. Dont make same mistake i did! Fit before you fit Mboard.

I'm really pleased with the performance of this product. Especially happy that the stock cooler supplied with the unit is of a good quality.

For the money that is asked it is a brilliant cpu for gaming and general use. It happily plays games while not being a bottleneck to my 2060 super and is able to run everything else i have in the background as well. I use my pc mainly for vr and i have had zero issue with it as it handles vr great compared to my old cpu. Would definitely recommend it to anyone who needs a good mid range cpu

Product came with a deformed fan that wouldn't screw onto motherboard anymore but sent a picture to support and got a free replacement with next day delivery, very good customer service. Also got The Division 2 and WWZ for free with AMD rewards.

Building a new PC for the first time in about 5 years, I left team intel and went back to AMD. so far a massive improvement over my old 4690K

I bought this Ryzen 5 2600x to be the core of my new gaming system. Couldn't be happier with my purchase. Along with all other parts purchased at same time, this CPU has easily handled everything I have thrown at it (and all without any overclocking using stock cooler). Real overclocking will start when I replace cooler. As always with CCL, ordering is easy, payment is easy, products are well packed and delivered on time. Will buy from CCL again and would also recommend.

Great processor for gaming. Better value than its Pentium counterparts and in my view performs just as well. Great for building your gaming pc.

Paul

February 2019

Very good value for money for a mid level PC build without the hassle of overclocking the 2600 to achieve the same performance.

thomas kaye

February 2019

Great CPU! Runs everything Ive tried to play, AAA titles included. Very cheep considering What you get for your money, and the 2600x, if done right, can be overclocked to the power of a Ryzen 7 2700!

nemarsde

November 2018

For PhotoShop and InDesign, I'm wondering if I even need a discrete gfx card. Ryzen 5 and 7 are proving to be powerhouses, feeling quicker with integrated graphics under Win 10 than comparable Intel offerings. AMD's stock coolers are also far better.

Michael

October 2018

Does its job, running with GTX 1060 and 16gb of 3200 ram! Very good CPU and not had any heat issues.

Wesley Townsend

October 2018

Great kit from a great store, always competitively priced and free delivery if your order is over 50. I very rarely buy pc products from anywhere else.

charles

October 2018

Great Value cpu that you can just fit and forget, AMD's software takes care of "overclocking" and RAM profiles Yes the 2600 is better overall value but for pure reliability and simplicity the 2600x wins hands down. performs extremely well and program response times are fast and smooth, multi tasking is easy and stutter free. The stock cooler is more than adequate and with it being a "down draft" cooler actually helps with Mobo cooling

October 2018

Excellent I like all the products and the service was excellent

Anne Rigby

October 2018

Had expected a little more performance over my old i5, but it does deliver smoother fps with less spikes and at lower v-core than I had to use to get 4.2 on the i5, if there had been a bigger price gap at the time, I would have picked up the standard 2600 instead

Warren

Great all round CPU for the price. CCL Online is my go to place for PC components.
