Great price considering the performance and efficiency. For 6 cores and 12 threads with an included CPU cooler. Was initially a bit sceptical coming from only Intel systems for the past decade but that has turned out to be one of the biggest plot twists of my twenties:)

It appears to be functioning

Performs like a charm, overclocks great, getting good fps!!

Much higher computes per second than the previous generation. The cpu sits at around 45 degrees in my system (midi ATX case with 1 fan) with the included wraith cooler idling. Its a great efficienct CPU. Highly recommended. I am using it with a 3080GTX video card. I haven't yet managed to pin the CPU to max while playing 4k games! So it gets the job done on a simple midrange modern gaming rig.

Upgraded from ryzen 2600 to 5600x, and it has increase a lots of FPS. Super powerful and very low power consumption, runs cool and quiet with my single tower cooler.
