AMD Ryzen 5 5600GT 6-Core, 12-Thread Desktop Processor

The most important thing to know about the Ryzen 5 5600GT is that it’s an excellent foundation for a first gaming computer. I installed this in a brand-new build for my daughter as her first PC, and it has been more than capable for everyday use and light gaming with room to grow. I chose the 5600GT specifically because of its balance of price and capability. It delivers solid performance without overcomplicating the build or budget. In day-to-day use, the system feels fast and responsive for her needs. I paired it with a used NVIDIA GPU rather than relying on the integrated graphics, so I can’t speak to iGPU gaming performance, but with a discrete card it performs exactly as expected. Temps and power usage have been completely fine with a standard cooling setup, and installation on the motherboard was straightforward with no hiccups. This CPU is ideal for a first gaming setup or a budget-conscious build. If you’re chasing high-end performance, there are better options, but for starting out, this is a great choice.

Works great! I don't need a video card to run all of my everyday functions! I have 2 monitors hooked up and everything works fine. Speed is very good.

Awesome little CPU, worked out of box. Writing comment on PC it was installed on. The fan that was included has to work overtime to keep the CPU cool however. Came pre-pasted however had to re-paste as it was slightly overheating with the original.

Works really good for the price

Excellent CPU for my first build. Love that it has integrated graphics. Low power consumption and speedy as well.

No problems with CPU, it works great just like all my other Ryzen CPU's but box was already opened when I received it so I'm only giving 4 stars. Amazon and/or sellers have been really terrible lately and I've received salvage and open box items despite paying for "new" or "open-box very good" (salvage item).

Came in 2 days. I saw the reviews saying that their stuff was shipped loose or not in the original packaging. I opened the original Amazon packaging everything seems fine with this one box is sealed excited to put my pc together!

This is a good CPU or APU option for those looking to upgrade from something like 1st or 2nd gen ryzen. With the latest BIOS update and a reset I had no issues. Depending on the benchmark, there's anywhere from a 15% to 75% performance improvement over the 1600X. I think there are better options out right now if you already have a DDR5 platform, as the max memory speed for this APU is 3200 MHz. For the price, and my needs I would buy it again.
