I bought it 5 days ago and haven't had any issues yet, just with heating, the airflow must be great if you want to use the original box cooler, or you could opt for buying a water cooler which solves 100% of the problems. Aside from that, the processor is perfect.

Pros

  • Great value for money
  • Great performance
  • Compatible with some a320 motherboards, which is great for those who want to buy a low-end PC.

Cons

  • Extremely high temperature

The Ryzen 5 5600 proves to be a great price to quality ratio processor. It offers good performance in both gaming and productivity. Even though Intel stands out more in the latter, Ryzen even manages to win with the Ryzen 5 5600 over the Intel core i5 11400, in both multi-core and single-core performance. Furthermore, Ryzen implemented the new Zen 3 architecture technology, which proved to be a great success in terms of the processor's core performance. Within the range of Ryzen processors, the 5600 proves to be a competent processor and not very far from its elder brother, the Ryzen 7 5700.

Pros

  • Price to quality ratio
  • Zen 3 Architecture
  • PCIe 4.0

Cons
