-Much easier to overclock to between 4.9Ghz and 5Ghz -Requires less voltage between (1.2-1.3V), compared to Broadwell-E CPU which requires around 1.4V to reach 4.3-4.5Ghz -Cheaper than Broadwell-E Platform




I was lucky winner first to get this CPU and then find out that it runs 5Ghz + without effort on air cooling ...Got all my components on Newegg and could not be happier... easy instal and no trouble at all installing software playing games or editing video is a breeze

Fast and stable on the MSI mag z790 tomahawk WiFi MB.

Benchmarks make it as fast or faster than the Ryzen 5600x. It also was in stock and came with a free game.

Fit on the motherboard

like i said this is a very top end Processing Monster. So gaming is great its running on a small fraction of its ability so you will not be thrown off with programs in the back ground with 32 thread. It is ridiculous to OC the whole thing. Ryzen Master can help to do very little. I leave it stock and Turbo in the very low end 5Gz Even so it will make HEAT with a six fan AIO big rad. I ran 100% S.A.N.D.R.A. CPU benchie and the heat if far beyond the normal desktop.....runs well over TWICE the TDP announced on box etc. So all a RTX 3900 ZoTac puts out is easily handled. It all is nice and smooth and you see nice scenery and effects as you R&G.

If you are looking for the best performance on a budget, this is your chip. I built two systems with similar hardware except for the CPU - one with this and the other with a core 7 265. I can't tell a difference in Star Citizen, one of the most demanding games on a CPU.

Great Processer for a build that has a good video card !!!


It shipped slightly ahead of estimate and very near a holiday no less. Great price point


AMD released several new cpus for its AM4 platform and the Ryzen 5600GT is one of them. They perform basically the same as the old Ryzen 5600G and are slightly faster than the 5500. They pair great with Soyo or Maxsun motherboard as well as all the name brands like Asrock, Asus, Gigabyte, and MSI. I ordered 2 more since they dropped to $106. Pair the cpu with 3200mhz or 3600mhz ram since Ryzen likes fast ram.

I have both, but in different boards; i read a review that said the hyperthreading only counts in certain games, and since I run a dx-11 title on my surround view rig, i can't notice any disadvantage, nor a boost when playing american truck driver. the one thing i have noticed, is it's currently a lot cheaper than my 3600, lol! but seriously folks; I've run a few hundred hrs with this proc, using an msi r-9 290, a gigabyte wind force gtx 1650 o.c; and an asus rtx 5050 o.c. without a single hitch! i love the new 5050 by the way; i removed the plastic back plate, and re-installed the screws, to use the shroud as the support plate, so i could set a 92mm 4-pin fan over the pcb (dart tips fit the mounting holes, and are trimable for height) and it runs 5760 x 1080p at about 60% load, and 120 degrees F.... (44 fps and full eye candy) i'm on an asrock b550 phantom 4; 16gb timtec 16-18-18-38 3200mhz; a 40" tv, with two 32" viewsonics for the side windows, and it rocks! i'm old school; i built my first rig in 1995, and i never overclock, i just upgrade to go faster, lol! my bragging rights come from the years i can squeeze out of the cash i paid; i have 20 motherboards; an abit ax5 with a 100 mhz dx4, and perfect caps after 30 years. i have a foxconn destroyer, an asrock 990fx fatalty killer, an asrock z590 steel legend atx's all. a pair of zotac 780 gtx's amped editions with full solid copper water blocks, a gigabyte ud5 with an i7 core / and 8 x 4 gb sticks quad channel ddr3 patriot 1866 mhz copper aluminum spreaders with copper bars inside..................................... an original foxconn 8800 gtx i purchased the day it was released

- It exceeded my expectations when compared to my i9-14900k. I get more FPS and lower wattage! an Amazing Combo

- super fast


Unbelievably fast. Runs cool at stock (26C-28C at idle, 60C at extended maximum load).
