Cheap and reliable.
I run an esports program at the school I work for. Saddly like many school clubs the staff in chachas to go out of pocket for many things. When we do builds this has been my go to CPU for a few years, cost effective and runs most of games very well.

Great CPU for Budget Builds – Fast and Efficient!
I found myself in need of upgrading a Core i5 2500K to allow my daughter to play Fortnite with my son and I. I paired this Ryzen 5 4500 with a Gigabyte B450M DS3H WIFI board and 16GB of TForce DDR4, and completed the build with an Antec 520W power supply, a 500GB SSD, and a Radeon RX 6600 that I had sitting in the parts bin.I already had Windows 11 installed on the drive and it booted right up. I installed the appropriate drivers and then used CPU-z to run a stress test. Under 100% load using the included Wraith Stealth cooler, the max temp I saw was 85C. Since I run a Ryzen 9 7900x on my main rig, I am more than comfortable with Ryzen’s ability to handle heat, and 85C is perfectly acceptable in my book. Despite running hot, the fan was nice and quiet the entire time. This was under stock settings – no tuning to the fan curve. During the stress test, the max wattage use by the CPU was right around 58. Right now while idling it is pulling 10 watts and sitting at 40C.The only game I have installed right now is Fortnite. On Epic presets, 1080p, using the RX 6600, I was getting 40-55 FPS (which I consider perfectly playable on a budget-level system). On High presets I consistently pulled 60-70 FPS. I would get a little stuttering here and there, which I suspect is memory-bandwidth-related. In all fairness I haven’t even opened the BIOS to tune any settings. GPU usage was at 100% and CPU was at maybe 75%-80%. I consider that a pretty efficient pairing, though you could possibly bump up to something like a 6750 XT to get a little more performance without the CPU becoming a bottleneck. In any case, this is sufficient performance for 1080p gaming on most modern titles running at higher settings (without raytracing of course). I’ll be doing some additional benchmarks as I finish up the 100+GB downloads, and if there are any changes to my opinion I’ll update this review.There are definitely faster processors, some of which don’t cost a whole lot more than this. But since my goal was to build a viable system that paired well with my existing hardware, this really hit the sweet spot in terms of price and performance.

Excellent Processor
This is a relatively fast processor. I can play games with it and it keeps up. It runs Windows really well! Over all I’m very satisfied with this. My other computer has a Ryzen 7 5700G and it is blazing fast Windows, Office all of it. I really like AMD alot and I only buy their CPU’s. Excellent product.

Great value for the price
This processor met my expectations, it performs really well in most scenarios, great for productivity.

Haven’t tested it yet.
As this processor comes without video drivers. But it’s easy to install and cones with a fan that already has thermal paste

Solid mid tier CPU
If you aren’t looking for the most powerful CPU, this is a solid choice when going for Team Red.

good price point
For 70.00 price tag you get this unit, that comes with its own fan, but has no graphics capabilities. Worked out of the box, and is going to be an everyday, general use machine. Replaced a dual core, two thread with onboard graphics , the celeron said “I am tired of this nonsense, no more, out of here Jack”. Be safe out there everyone.

Good on a budget
Work’s excellent
Ãtima entrega, produto 100% funcional. Só não veio os parafusos da placa mãe, tive que me virar para aparafusar. –
Veio tudo certo e bem rápido. Nenhum problema encontrado.

Es sin duda un procesador bastante bueno y tiene mucha calidad en sus componentes, créeme vale la pena gastar un poquito más en ryzen 5 en vez de un 3, cabe señalar que esté no incluye gráficos integrado asà que solo es buena opción si ya cuentas con una tarjeta gráfica de lo contrario mejor compra un ryzen 5 5600 G

Good upgrade from a AMD Athlon 200 GE. And honestly really runs smooth and no problems. Easy to overclock as you can overclock from 3.6 to 4.1 GHz. I use this to play games and it does fine as long as you have a good GPU to go along with it. Just make sure your motherboard bios are up to date before installing this CPU. Overall, if you’re looking for something cheap and reliable this is a great place to start as some us just don’t have crazy amounts of money.

Artikel kam schon ca. 20 Stunden nach Bestellung, einfach top. Ware sehr gut für den Preis. Die CPU kann sogar meinen Microsoft Flugsimulator 2020 in Verbindung mit einer Radeon RX 6600 XT (8GB VRAM), 16 GB RAM und einer NVme 1 TB in Full HD darstellen. Für Einsteiger gaming geeignet. Das hätte ich nicht unbedingt erwartet.AuÃerdem hat dieser Prozessor deutlich bessere Temperaturwerte als Leistungsstärkere Modelle in meinem System. Da kommt man nicht so schnell in das thermal throtteling.

See if you are upgrading with r3 or blow so this would be great option but if you are thinking to upgrade with r5 3600 or something so wait le me tell you this is an zen3 processor so there is no benefit upgrade with other options because this processor is cheapest 6c 12t processor in market so if you are purchasing r3 or i3 so you can go with this rather than i3 or r3 you will get slightly high performance in gaming and in multi tasking you will get almost 2x performance boost like if you want to edit videos and edit photos and you are in a tight budget so you can chose this one rather than i3 or r3 so that’s pretty much it i hope this will help you to find out : )
