AMDRyzen™ 5 9600X 6-Core, 12-Thread Unlocked Desktop Processor

This is an amazing little CPU. Plays everything max settings at 1440p when paired with a rx7900gre. I was able to overclock it to 5.65ghz with a -55 core voltage curve undervolt, and the infinity clock set to 2100mhz. I was originally only going to use this as a stepping stone to get into the am5 platform, but now I think I'm going to use this CPU for years to come. I got this on sale from Amazon at $180, and for that price it has amazing value!It does get fairly warm, especially doing benchmarks and stress tests. I paired it with a thermalright phantom spirit 120 Evo. I limited the TJ Max temp to 83⁰c, stock it's at 95⁰c. But during gaming it never goes above 70⁰c. To be honest, I think this Ryzen 5 is what most people need for 1440p gaming. Don't waste your money buying the more expensive chips, if you're only going to use it for gaming.

I've been a loyal user of AMD processors for many years now, and for good reason – I consistently find them to be excellent. This Ryzen 5 9600X is no exception; it delivers great performance and lives up to the high standards I've come to expect from AMD.I purchased this CPU to pair with a Gigabyte B650 motherboard, and they work together flawlessly. The compatibility has been perfect, and I'm really happy with the overall performance of this setup. If you're considering an AMD build, I highly recommend checking out their latest Ryzen processors!

Excellent value if picked up on sale. Snagged this for $220 and it absolutely stomps. Cinebench multi core comes in at 924. Compared to the top of their benchmarks this is tremendous performance per dollar, with the very best Apple M1 Ultra 20 core scoring just over 1600. Heck, the next best ranked a Ryzen 5 Threadripper 2990 with 32 cores only manages a synthetic 1201. That's nuts!I've had this up and running for a few hours with a very basic ID-Cooler Frozen a620 and it runs well within spec. Idle around 40c, full load around 65c. This packaging does not come with a cooler of any kind, so keep that in mind when you're budgeting.As I've been running benchmarks it'll hit the max TDP of 65w and just.....breeze through computations. No fuss, no muss. In general duty so far it smoothly ramps clock speed depending on the load without hiccups or slowdown. I never thought I'd see the day where a factory CPU will peg itself to 5.4ghz and scream for more yet sip power like this thing does.Just simply floored at how far AMD has come.

El Ryzen 5 9600X es simplemente increíble. Rápido, eficiente y perfecto para gaming o cualquier tarea exigente. Se mantiene fresco y estable, y su rendimiento es brutal sin necesidad de ajustes complicados. Si buscas una CPU confiable y potente, esta es la elección perfecta.

I bought this for a budget-friendly PC build that I hope will last a few years. It’s great for gaming, just pair it with a decent GPU, and you’ll get excellent performance. It’s also power-efficient, so it doesn’t run too hot. I’m using an air cooler, and even under heavy load, the CPU stays between 60°C and 70°C.

Amazing CPU for a pretty good price overall giving me amazing performance for my 9070 XT and its amazing for my first PC it’s giving me great 1440p performance and has been pretty easy to cool

Best budget AM5 cpu. For $185+ tax I wouldn’t get anything else. I have it paired with a 7900 xt build I did and I am very happy with it.

Excellent CPU, as fast as my 8 core 7700x.Purchased to upgrade my son's PC that used a 5600x. What a difference. Paired with a B650M motherboard and 32 GB of PC 6000 ram, it has given his old 6700xt a new lease on life.
