With 6 cores and 12 threads, it provides plenty of performance for everyday computing and works very well in a budget gaming or general-purpose system when paired with a suitable graphics card. More importantly, it has proven reliable over time. The system has been in regular use and the CPU is still running perfectly with no stability issues. It's also relatively easy to cool and doesn't require an expensive cooling setup, which helps keep the overall cost of an AM4 build down. AM4 may no longer be AMD's newest platform, but if you're building or upgrading an affordable AM4 system, the Ryzen 5 5500 still offers a lot of performance for the money. Review: Great processor for the money - Now I’m not benchmarking or anything like that I’m just going on how the pc performs for the things it is used for. So some gaming and some graphics work , photo editing and video editing the pc is very slick and not encountered any problems .

Don't get me wrong it is an ultra classy way to water cool but it won't help your framerates... What you need is to Jetwash the CPU, just go to town and fire the water everywhere. The CPU will be so intimidated by your water cooling prowess that it will run Doom Eternal 4K Ultra Nightmare at 1000FPS with no GPU installed. Intimidation is the key! **Q: I paid £540 for my 5900X. This scalper price of £800 is insane and these practices should be made illegal.** A: Current price is £382 as of 25th July 2021. So it’s halved in price in 6 months on Amazon. Great value now. **Q: Is this a scam? Why the £200.54 delivery fee?** A: Check who is selling it - there’s many scalpers selling for £200+ over RRP **Q: Does this processor come with the code for far cry 6 in the box or is it sent out by amazon, how would i go about getting the code?** A: Yes, you'll get an email from amazon shortly after you buy the CPU. Then you must run an AMD system check to confirm you have installed the CPU and the game is yours....at least it will be when it releases in 2021. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent budget CPU – reliable and still going strong *by A***S on 14 August 2026* I've used this Ryzen 5 5500 in a budget PC build and it has proven to be an excellent little processor.
