Ryzen 5 2600x, been in my PC for about 2 weeks now and so far so good. No hitches, works flawlessly with Ryzen Master and is much, much faster than my previous 1300x. One thing I noticed was when loading in to Ryzen Master, I noticed My ECC percentage was at 99% in red. Easy fix to this is to set the Minimum Processor State to 5% under Power Options in the Control Panel. Otherwise it's worked without a hitch so far. Can't speak for the longevity of the chip, anything can happen. But it arrived on time and was unopened. And it worked, so 5 stars for now!

Cheaper than Intel. Runs just as well (And sometimes better) as Intel. More user-friendly than Intel. Not a lot to gripe about here. I couldn't be happier with my purchase. An amazing buy at $189.99 in 2018. Do yourself a favor and go with AMD if you choose to build a PC unless Intel decides to do some groundbreaking stuff in the coming months. I will admit that- depending on your case and motherboard- the CPU fan is a pain to seat properly onto the CPU. I actually had to wipe off the pre-applied thermal paste and re-apply my own because I could not for the life of me get one of the screws to start, and I ended up messing the stuff that was pre-applied up by trying to re-seat it after pulling it off.. Now that I have experience building, I know that those suckers actually require a good bit of force to mount! Besides that, installation was a breeze. Once I got everything up and running, I did (light) benchmarks and found out that I have PLENTY of overhead to overclock if I choose to, because my CPU was running at an amazing sixty degrees Celsius- Well within the manufacturer's rated temperature ceiling. Good luck and happy building out there!Read full review

I had an 8370 black edition which was a great processor, always running above 4ghz, had to buy an aftermarket cooler but no biggie, little did I know my FX processor was actually bottlenecking my computer even though it was high end and everything with my RX 580 my CPU became a bottleneck. fx8370 RX580 - Rainbow six siege, I could manage 60 fps with dips into 38 fps every minute or two, on medium settings. with the Ryzen 5 2600x (not overclock, stock cooler) I can run siege at 72 fps on ultra quality with my RX 580, if you haven't upgraded to ryzen or higher, do yourself a favour and just do it! it's so worth the money.

I got really big improvements in FPS on my games switching to this and a GTX 1070 TI from my FX-8320 and GTX 970. The single core performance is just way better and the installation and Wraith Stealth Cooler were great. So far haven’t seen the need to overclock it at all. Huge performance boost to RTS games like Total War: Warhammer 2 and Company of Heroes 2. Awesome improvements to Overwatch and other shooters as well. Very pleased with this purchase
