Great Affordable CPU and CPU Fan
Very good CPU at an affordable price. Used it to build my budget PC and has worked very well. The addition of the CPU fan makes the installation process very easy, as a previous CPU fan that I tried to install was very difficult and caused my old CPU pins to bend, which made them defective.

So far, so good.
So far so good. My pc was pretty fast before this install but now it's even faster. Yes, it's not the latest but it definitely seems to be awesome. Obviously extremely easy to install and fast delivery.

Not sure why there is so much hate for this CPU.
Not sure why there is so much hate for this CPU. It played all my games fine and performed well in other tasks too. Plus it runs fairly cool.

Scammed by Ryzensets
Worked fine (if a little unstable) for a few weeks then straight up died, now refuses to install Windows 11 and after reading a few of the other low reviews realised Ryzensets are a scammer that sends out known faulty chips and wastes people's time chasing refunds. Refund their stuff through Amazon back to your card and buy a CPU from somewhere more reputable, Amazon haven't done a damn thing and Ryzensets has been scamming since at least 2020!

Build a nice computer for less then a 1000$ ca that still kicks aside my old computer that I build 12 years ago at the price of 2500$ Take note, the price mention above for the new computer is with AMAZON specials at the moment of purchase. (November 2024) Now, like I was saying for much less then a 1000$ using those components Motherboard ASUS Prime B550 plus. Power supply Thermaltake Smart BX1 750W Bronze SLI/Crossfire Ready. RAM Corsair Vengeance LPX 32GB (2 X 16) at 3200mhz CORSAIR 3000D Airflow Mid-Tower PC Case – 2X SP120 Elite Fans – Four-Slot GPU Support. Processor AMD Ryzen 5 5500 6-Core, 12-Thread Unlocked FAN included. May have to chip around 50$ for a Wi-Fi/Bluetooth card if you don’t have it already. Kingston 480 gb SSD. Graphic card GeForce GTX 1650 4gb Licence for Win 11 PRO, shop and find at different price, you only need a Digital license to make this machine work fine. Mine costed 125$ ca. This kit support without any problem Win 11 24H2 latest release almost a plug and play. (Installed it on the 22 Nov 2024 and never seen that before not one issue.) I'm not a hardcore gamer but I love my dead island, day light, etc... level of games and yes that system will support those and maybe more demanding games (Do your DD to find out, like I said I'm a mild gamer) no problem even projected on a 10 feet X 5 feet wall. So, my goal was to try at best not to invest my saving and have a nice machine that is functional for what I need, and not to flex (Look at me I got a machine that goes around Jupiter and back but it costed me 5000$) LOL You could also overclock that system with a little bit of knowledge, and the bios readiness unlock the RAM which is set to nominal 2133 or so to full values (Mine are 3200 MHz) at a click away, Rams have a build in profile to facilitate its full profile. And do not forget that you have room for expending for a bigger graphic card, RAM and a bit more room for the processor then what I used. So this was my quest on AMAZON to get something more recent then the Asus P8Z77- deluxe (2012) which is still fine but does not support win 11 due to TPM and for the hardcore gamers Steam do not support any longer the win 7, 8, 8.1 and it is just a question of time before win 10 will no longer be supported by Steam. Yes, I forgot, I can install win 11 on the Asus P8Z77 deluxe (2012) with the removal of the TPM notification but at the long run it keeps bugging more often then I care for, so, for all my software that I have for editing video, creating music etc..... Win 7 on this Asus P8Z77 deluxe works fine, and I know that win 10 will support my old system, so I will experiment more on the subject. In conclusion I got something that kick for less then 1000$ ca and I build it my self from A to Z without any problem (Plug and play I would say) and will last some years without having to cash out money left and right. Keep searching there are nice specials on AMAZON. hope this help a bit Den.

The AMD Ryzen 5 5500 was an excellent choice for my PC. Installation was straightforward, and the included Wraith Stealth cooler maintains good temperatures without needing to invest in another one. With its 6 cores and 12 threads, the performance is more than enough for multitasking, gaming, and demanding programs. It feels fast, stable, and reliable, and offers great value for money. Without a doubt, a processor that meets and exceeds expectations.

Prozessor kam schnell und gut verpackt an. Einbau war einfach, alles wurde direkt erkannt und läuft ohne Probleme. Auch nach längerer Nutzung bisher keine Auffälligkeiten, alles stabil. Verpackung und Lieferumfang waren wie beschrieben. Bin insgesamt zufrieden, Preis-Leistung stimmt und kann ihn empfehlen.
