    AMD does it once again

    Great overall chip for a good price. I upgraded from a R5 3600 after a PSU failure and got this on sale ($200 at the time). Works well as both my gaming and software dev rig. Pros: + Performance uplift of Zen 4 is noticeable in single core and multi-core workloads + Good price point for 6 cores + Little guy loves to boost + PCI-e Gen 5 + Doesn't run as hot as the other AM5 chips + Very stable with EXPO'd RAM at 6000MHz + No X3D cache, so no scheduling issues. + Good efficiency. + Stays cool during idle + iGPU. Not really needed when you have a dedicated one, but its pretty performant. Cons: - While AM5 increases the amount of PCI-e lanes, I still find it to be a limiting factor for anything containing more than 1 GPU... my own personal gripe I guess... - Likes to run hot. Anytime a sustained workload gets placed on it, it will keep boosting until it reaches TJMax. Not a problem if you have a good cooler (ps. thermalright has some cheap ones that can handle the power). - Want EXPO speeds above 6000 MHz? Too bad. - AM5 motherboards will run you a pretty penny. Different socket than AM4. However, AMD claims they will support it for a while, so maybe its worth it.

    Despite this being a mid range CPU, it is no slouch. I paired this with a 7700xt and it has handled everything thus far. Coming from Intel, it was an adjustment seeing the temps rise quickly under load. Seeing 85° C is normal during heavier loads. I put a Thermalright Assassin 120x on it for cooling and its temps are perfectly in range with what they should be. Highly recommend.

    Nice CPU for beginning. Powerful, low TDP. I will recommend it for peoples, who want to build cheap PC, but get a enough power. But, for me it’s not enough, cause I need more options in multitasking way

    Solid processor, probably the best you can get for AM5 if you're looking for a budget type build. this performs better than the 7700x and is a solid choice that you won't have to upgrade for another 3-5 years. Works great with my 4070 ti super, asus tuf gaming x670e plus wifi. Id give this cpu a 10/10.

    Not at all as bad as tech YouTubers try to make it out to be. This is a solid 6 core 12 thread gaming workhorse and it doesn't try to be anything else. I ultimately didn't keep my 7600x although all I do is game on my machines. Through a long set of troubleshooting brand new hardware making up an entire system... I didn't find out until I finally replaced the motherboard that that's where the problem lied. At time of writing, there is now the 7600 non-X CPU out there (I got my 7600x for the MSRP of non-X anyway) that may be an easier pill to swallow, being it includes a cooler. But this CPU does exactly what it's intended to do. It pushed frames to my 7900 XTX just fine!

    great gaming chip, 6 cores and 12 threads is plenty for me. could drive a 3090 or 6900 xt if i were to pair it with either card. if you can get it for less than $200 (at time of writing) the value is excellent.

    Great chip for a good price. I got mine when i caught it on sale for $199 plus tax. It plays my games really well, for a mid tier gaming rig. I play mostly 1440p in ultra settings.

    This is a great cpu, and it was very affordable. I got it on sale, for around $100 off, which is why Best Buy is, well, the best.
