Customer Review: Bent CPU pins on brand new CPU again
Received my brand new CPU with bent pins! Thanks Amazon! Dont even bother ordering parts like this from them because they don’t care if they’re damaged, go pick it up at micro center or anywhere else.

I upgraded to this from a Ryzen 7 1700, and noticed a drastic difference in performance with otherwise the same hardware.
Here's the rundown of the performance difference I experienced from upgrading from Ryzen 7 1700 to Ryzen 5 5600 (see also the picture):
[] ~30% improvement to 0.1% lows in Unigine Superposition @ 1080p Extreme (This means, much more stable framerate without stutters)
[] ~12% improvement to 0.1% lows in MSI Kombustor MSI-01 OpenGL test 1080p (This means, more stable framerate without stutters)
[] ~46% across-the-board improvement to average framerate, 1% lows, and 0.1% lows in Minecraft running what I call "The chicken test" (simulates lag around lots of active mobs)
[] ~19% across-the-board improvement to average framerate, 1% lows, and 0.1% lows in Horizon Zero Dawn at 1080p Ultra Quality/Max settings
[] ~51% single-core performance uplift in Cinebench R23
[] ~23% multi-core performance uplift in Cinebench R23
All in all the Ryzen 5 5600 is a fantastic budget upgrade if you have an older AM4 system. The motherboard being used here is an ASRock B450M A/C R-2.0.
I have just upgraded the RAM now too and endeavor to see what the performance difference is with faster-clocked RAM versus the older RAM speeds on the 5600 that were same as what the Ryzen 7 1700 was running at.

The 5600 and X variant DO NOT have on-board graphics if you are building with that in mind please look at the 5600g variant or a newer APU.
This CPU was a massive upgrade for me in gaming and even more for productivity from a very old Intel CPU so take that with a grain of salt.
In gaming this is a very powerful CPU for the vast majority of people. If you are gaming under 144hz and on a budget this is easily one of the best you can get from this generation.
This is continually one of, if not the highest, value cpu's as it comes with a very beefy performance for its cost and a cooler all in one package.
I had near-flawless performance when used on my 144hz 1440p monitor in most of my games. I generally reduce in-game settings to accommodate higher framerate which does often reduce CPU load as well but reducing max framerates to 120 and more-so 90 at comparable settings would be even more ideal if going for higher settings or a smoother 1% framerate experience for fast games.
Productivity - I had two monitors and often I watch videos, streamers, chat with friends and browse(browsers can be quite CPU intensive at times due if not using hardware-encoding which in my case I did not due to compatibility issues with other software)
All-in-all if you are building a new system, you may want to look at the newer AMD 7600 lineup as it is very similar, but if squeezing out a smaller budget with a very good sale or a used purchase, the 5600 will last you at minimum 4 years without issue.
So after carefully deliberating whether it was ram, motherboard or cpu, I bought ram, it didn't work. Went to the drawing board and did more tinkering and decided it had to be the cpu as said above. It's a very good cpu, but not entirely sure on quality, could've just been bad. Enable ReBar, PBO and XMP and you're good to go. Best paired with an AIO, with the original fan, it hit temps of 86c. Not good for me. AIO got me running 36c average and about 44c active and jumping to 50c occasionally. It hits advertised speeds and runs everything well. However I've noticed my usage does spike pretty high with what I run. So if you're a pretty heavy user, something a bit bigger might be better.
I haven't run into performance issues with any games. At max 70% to 76%. Most times running around 20 to 30%. If you can get this cpu for about 115$, grab it. I wouldn't pay more than 120$.

Edit 1: Ive been using it daily for extended periods of time for a few months now, forcing it to his maximum and i can say that it still holds well i recommand it.

Also wieder den alten eingebaut den Update gemacht , so funktioniert es auch richtig. Vorher hatte ich den Ryzen 5 2600 mhz der auch nicht so schlecht war. Da ich aber einige Spiele spiele dachte ich einen Upgrate wäre nicht verkehrt. Später habe ich noch den AMD chiptreiber auf den neuesten Stand gebracht. Was hat es jetzt wirklich gebracht?
Zuerst die Lieferung erfolgte am nächsten Tag . Lüfter und CPU waren gut verpackt und gesichert. Einbau ging auch schön Flott,nicht vergessen die Wärmeleitpaste aufzutragen, also gleich mitbestellen.
Nachdem ich mehrere Stunden am PC war muss ich sagen ,dass der neue CPU tatsächlich meine Erwartungen übertroffen hat. Der Strom Verbrauch ist deutlich weniger geworden, das hätte ich nicht erwartet, also einen Plus Punkt. Von der Leistung ist auch zu spüren, meine Spiele starten viel schneller und die Programme öffnen deutlich schneller. Positiv ist auch der neue Lüfter der kaum zu hören ist. Wenn ich in Turbo Modus gehe ist auch noch noch gerade so zu hören. Insgesamt ist meinen PC kaum zu hören. Die Temperatur des CPU ist auch sehr gut, die höchste Temperatur die ich erreicht habe waren 58° und das nur beim zocken. Beim Surfen oder Videos erreichte die Temperatur knapp 38° . Ich bereue dem Umbau nicht . Was den BIOS betrifft sollte man sich vorher erkundigen und wenn man sich nicht sicher ist welches BIOS man braucht wurde ich beim Hersteller nachfragen.
