Customer reviews
Write a reviewGreat budget CPU - One of the best price to performance cpus for a budget
Cpu 5500 - Works perfect, Affordable price caught it on sale.
Great - Ran perfectly also didn’t have any fps problems or issues.
Very pleased with my purchase. - Very pleased with my purchase and would definitely recommend this product.
Core Woks great - This item was a replacement for a defective chip. At this time, the new chip and mother board are working well. I would buy it again & I would recommend it.
Big upgrade - My mother bought this for a new system after finding out her old Socket AM4 processor would not work with her new motherboard due to being incompatible. Her old Processor is an AMD Ryzen 2700x 8-core CPU. She chose this due to price as well as compatibility. She also likes how much faster this processor is with less cores than her old one. The only thing she doesn't like is the fact that it's a downgrade as far as cores go. She uses it just for browsing the internet, paying a few bills online, buying things online sometimes, and watching videos on YouTube.
Great fot getting the job done. - It handled very CPU demanding tasks surprisingly well.
Great CPU upgrade - This Ryzen 5 5500 is a great upgrade from Athlon 3000G for daily tasks; opening programs and browsing the web feels quick and smooth.
Solid budget CPU for an AM4 build - This is a really good processor if you are building a budget-friendly gaming PC or upgrading an older AM4 setup. Installation was straightforward, and once everything was running, it handled normal use, browsing, gaming, and multitasking without any issues. For the price, I think it gives you a lot of value. It may not be the newest or highest-end processor out there, but it is more than enough for a lot of people. If you are trying to get a PC running well without spending a ton, this is a solid choice. I would buy it again for a budget build.
Good cpu - I bought this a while ago and I had a little problem with putting it on my motherboard but that was my fault. After getting that fixed worked flawlessly. And I got it for a decent price
Great budget friendly upgrade. - Upgraded from a Ryzen 5 1600. Performance is through the roof with little power draw. 60% better frames on games. Great bang for the buck.
CPU review - Great product will be buying more as needed would recommend others to buy
This has served me well. Had to upgrade from a 1st gen 1700X in order to install Windows 11. Best bang for the buck as the 5800X3D was too expensive for an old AM4 system.
Fast and reliable - Great performance. Runs smoothly. 0erfect for everyday use and gaming
Awesome - Fast delivery. Great deal. Highly recommend. Works great.
