Great CPU for an AM4 Mid Range Build

Reviewed in the United States on April 9, 2024

Verified Purchase

I built my daughter a PC that she could play 1080P ultra, 1440P Med/High, and some 4K Low games. She is running this CPU paired with an intel A770 GPU (upgraded from an older RX580). Given the GPUs that were tied to this build so far, the CPU has been handling the gameplay without becoming a bottle neck. It runs with a stock cooler at acceptable temps. All in all, this was a good budget build with good performance with current games (given the display settings we are using).

Phenomenal Deal

Reviewed in the United States on April 11, 2024

Verified Purchase

I got this looking for something to match my RX 580 but also give me options for future upgrades and boy was this a good choice. While there is a pretty significant bottleneck (since it's paired with an RX 580), even in games like CS2 and Minecraft which are very CPU intensive, it never went above 70 degrees. Stress testing it never went over 76 degrees with the stock cooler.

Overall, it is a great value for the budget market and I am happy that I could use this for my first ever build.

It does it's job.

Reviewed in the United States on July 17, 2023

Verified Purchase

For me CPUs like this, which are budget CPUs are mostly about the price. For $100 USD or less this is an excellent buy. If it's more than that, uhhhh. I'll take the 5600 for $130 Bob.

While this is a Zen 3 CPU, it's not PCIe gen4 and you should be aware of this before buying. It's not the same line of CPU that most Zen 3 CPUs which are Vermeer. This is Cezanne. There are 3 Cezanne CPUs, the other two are OEM only, meaning they only come in a PC you buy from a company that makes PCs like Dell, etc........ For the most part this isn't a problem because it's a budget CPU, however if you pair this with something like an AMD Radeon 6500 XT which only uses 4 PCIe lanes to connect to the CPU, you'll get bad performance. So don't do that.

Otherwise as long as you pair this with at least an 8 PCIe lane GPU it works fine. You take a tiny hit in GPU performance but not enough to worry about.

The bigger hit comes with the NVMe drives, especially in 2023 and going forward. There are now MANY NVMe disks that are a lot faster than 4GB/s, and to give as simple explanation as I can, a PCIe lane is a serial data line. The way a PCIe device/bus works is by grouping a certain amount of lanes so that you get the speed of a single PCIe lane times the number of lanes you have. Any NVMe disk has 4 lanes. It also means the port you plug it into along with what it connects to (CPU, motherboard chipset) has 4 PCIe lanes that it will connect with. So, you get 4 PCIe lanes. So now you need to know the data speed for each lane. For PCIe gen3, the speed of each lane is 1GB/s. For PCIe gen4 the speed of each lane is 2GB/s. So, with this CPU, the best you can get is a data transfer rate of 4GB/s to an NVMe disk. That's it. The newest disks coming out the end of 2022, and 2023 can hit speeds near 9GB/s. Now, most data transfers to/from NVMe disks can't run at that speed. However many disks can run many data transfers faster than 4GB/s, so that means a CPU that runs PCIe gen3 is slowing down modern NVMe disks that can run gen4 or now gen5 speeds. But that's not a statement that has a clear meaning, because just because a disk is called gen4, it doesn't mean most of the data transfers to/from that disk will run at the full bandwidth of PCIe gen4 x4 lanes = 8GB/s. Most gen4 disks rarely hit that speed if ever. Only the most expensive ones do. BUT once again many will run different types of transfers above 4GB/s.

So that's the description of what it means to have PCIe gen3 when dealing with modern NVMe disks. You're going to slow down some of the data transfers, not all, depending on how fast (which also means more expensive) the disk is.

Yes for a general purpose PC build this is good enough and it's a low cost option that's really good at $100 USD or less. However if the price of this starts to get closer to the Ryzen 5600, I'd rather buy the 5600 because that's PCIe gen4 which is as good as it gets with an AMD AM4 motherboard.

Great budget CPU!

Reviewed in the United States on March 27, 2024

Verified Purchase

Sure, technology is moving so fast by the time you purchase the "latest and greatest" it's already outdated!
Teaching a student of mine how to build a gaming PC decided to go with the Ryzen 5 5500 CPU.
The install onto an ASRock B450M Steel Series motherboard was a simple set-in and lock down. (He got it on the first try!)
Although he just finished the build and took it home today I trust the Ryzen's as I have 2 of them in use out of my three gaming computers.
Great product by, what I think, is a great company. The Ryzen 5 5500 should run some of the latest games out there with no problems.
Would definitely recommend.

You can't go wrong with the Ryzen 5 5500 CPU

What a monster of a CPU this Ryzen 5 5500 is!
I upgraded my 10 years old PC on budget and got a simple ASRock B550 motherboard, paired it with this CPU, a 10 years old Corsair 240mm liquid cooler, 16GB DDR4 3200 RAM, 256GB NVMe M2 SSD (3500 MB/s) and after applying new thermal paste and adjusting the intel based liquid cooler, I was able to slightly overclock this CPU from 3.6GH to 4.2GH. I didn't use the Stealth cooler fan, but it was a great deal t get the CPU and cooler for less than US$100. What a bargain!
I ran several benchmarks and the CPU is pretty stable.
You simply can't go wrong with the Ryzen 5 5500 for a budget build, even in 2024!

Processador maravilhoso, vale muito a pena, tinha um i3 de 4 geração e nem preciso dizer que o computador mudou da agua pro vinho em desempenho. Rodando perfeitamente na placa mãe A520M K V2 que comprei tbm da China, sem precisar atualizar a bios. Porém tenho que ressaltar a demora absurda na entrega do produto, comprei no começo de novembro com prazo de entrega do dia 21 de dezembro ate o dia 5 de janeiro, chegou somente dia 16 de janeiro. O produto ficou preso em curitiba esperando pagamento de taxa mesmo o anuncio dizendo que as taxas ja estariam inclusas, supresa desagradável, tive que por conta propria descobrir ja que nao fui avisado de nenhuma maneira, taxa pequena, entrei em contato com o vendedor ele prontamente fez o reebolso da taxa paga, responde rapido. Comprem mas atentos na demora, muito devido ao pessimo serviço de entregas do nosso pais, e que podera ficar esperando em curitiba o pagamento de uma pequena taxa.
