AMD Ryzen 5 5500 6-Core, 12-Thread Unlocked Desktop Processor with Wraith Stealth Cooler

This is an excellent PIB. I didn't have to apply any paste - it came included and applied quite evenly. The heat sink and fan keep it below 80 Celsius. It pairs well with my rtx3060, running marvel rivals at 160 frames per second almost constantly. None of the pins were bent when it arrived. After installation, my computer was significantly faster on boot and when compiling shaders. I have yet to give it a test in cycles to see how fast it renders a 3D scene so I will update this review after I have the opportunity.

Best budget cpu. This has to be the best costing and performance output processor in the market right now. It is a simple cpu that is great for gaming and streaming. It has various cores and threads and for this price, it’s amazing. While AMD is currently working to release their next gen processors, this cpu still holds up for middle of the cost gaming/streaming rigs.

Great for my budget build, overall performance is decent in modern AAA titles especially for the price. I got mine in sale for ~$60 USDHere are some benchmarks I've done.Baldurs gate 3 Ultra 1080p:~60fps some dips in high intensity areas and fights.Elden ring high 1080p: ~50-60fps can maintain 60 fps with some tweaks.Red dead redemption 1080p high:~45-60 fps with tweaks it can maintain 60 I'd suggest turning down shadows and volumetric clouds.Star citizen max 1080p:on Lorville 25-30fps.In space during ship combat 50-60fps around yelas astroids.Overall it is a good and reliable budget CPU and you can't beat the price to performance, if you're like me and don't really play many super AAA games and mostly play RPGs, games like Project zomboid, Satisfactory, Dayz, CS2, and some other more lighter on the graphical side video games this processor would be great with a mid tier GPU.Be mindful too though and understand very graphically intensive AAA games will stutter with this CPU it's not meant for these types of games it can run them but don't expect ultra quality, and definitely nothing above 1080pThermals: under heavy load from stair citizen ~80-85C.Highest ive seen it peak was 92C but I'm still running the stock cooler and it was installing and compiling some heavy files and it only peaked for like a minute than remained in the 70-80C range.My build:Ryzen 5 5500GTX 1660tiGigabyte B550 gaming x v216GB DDR4 3200Mz T force RAM512GB Inland NVME SSD

This product has been working great for about 2 months now with no issues and nothing to complain about. The included stealth cooler with pre applied thermal paste is a nice addition and cools the CPU perfectly.

This item just works. I build my own computers and these bundles, main board, processor and memory are truly plug and play. The manuals could be significantly improved, but wow what a difference in performance.

The microprocessor came with its own cooler and works great. Faster speeds for playing games online.

Bought this for my dad’s new budget PC since I do really like AMD process over intel. It’s my old PC and it’s an upgrade from a Ryzen 7 1700x as it’s a tad finicky now.It’s got plenty of processing power and the benchmark was very solid.The only issue was that I was putting it into a B350 chipset MoBo and while it stated that it was compatible, I forgot to update the bios and it would not post. This is more user error than anything.Eventually we got the bios to update after a few failed art attempts and now it works flawlessly.AM4 processors are always annoying to install, but I’ve done enough of them to know how to set the chip into the board with no issues.The thing runs games very well and the air cooler keeps it below 50°C on average when gaming. The fan is a tad noisy but it’s not too bad.Definitely a great budget CPU.

not a super good deal but its cheap enough and good enough for me, good cpu for buget ballers
