AMD – Ryzen 5 9600X 6-Core – 12-Thread 3.9 GHz (5.4 GHz Max Boost) Socket AM5 PCI Express 5.0 Unlocked Desktop Processor – Silver

Works wonderful! - Haven't had a single issue occur with this CPU, there are no nibs on the surface that are damagable so it is rather forgiving to install! Easy to clean if you are ever changing coolers.

Processor is amazing and was a good price - Love AMD product Best buy has good deals on computer parts

Great performance - Perfect speed if what you are looking for is play, tasks or heavy work. I will never leave you alone

Good price to performance - Was surprised how little it costs to my expectations, cant even reach 100% utilization because its that powerful

Fantastic Performance at Great Price - The other reviews speak volumes. The price point is great for the fantastic performance this CPU delivers. It feels wrong calling it a budget CPU when it handles every modern game I've thrown at it, system virtualization for education, graphic and video editing, without any noticeable dip in performance. It stays within temperature spec just using a budget airflow cooler and well thought out case fan placement. I'd say the power draw could be better, but I bought it knowing it's TDP, so I can't ding it for that.

Great value! - Great value for the price. Highly recommend. Paired nicely with the rtx 3060 12gb

Enjoying my games more - Built a PC myself with this chip. For its price at the time it was great value! Now I can lose my games in 1440p. That's winning in my book

Solid CPU - Runs great, I undervolted for better temps but a massive upgrade over my older 12400f.

Great budget CPU - This was 200 bucks and it is fantastic. It runs well. It's super fast for budget CPU. You can't go wrong with this one

Faster than a 5950x. Kind of. - Blows my 5950x out of the water in gaming; or rather it would if I assembled the system that this going be in sooner. I didn't and now the whole conceit of the build will be horrendously over budget. If DDR5 ever returns to the price it was three months ago then this will be a sweet piece of kit.

no issues - good cpu, did not have issues with installation or temperature.

Some Great Stuff Here - Hands down, a great CPU option for 1440p gaming. Was recommended this for computer builds by Zach’s Tech Turf, and gotta say it’s been great. Even better that I could snag one during the sale, making it roughly $60 cheaper.

Fantastic CPU for AMD 9070 Build - Great CPU. Arrived very fast and is everything I had hoped for!

Processor - This is a really good CPU for gaming and people who are in a budget

Very good CPU - Just recently bought it haven't used it a ton and stress tested it but from what I've done with it it's been very good

The best budget cpu for game in 2025 i recommend 100

Solid CPU for AM5 at good price - This processor is excellent! I wanted a solid CPU to dip my toes in the AM5 platform. This has exceeded my expectations.

Great budget cpu. Paired it with a 9060xt 16gb. Performed great on BF6, Marvel rivals, Highly recomend if you are on a budget and want great performance.

Does what you’d expect - [Employee of bestbuy] Upgrading from an R5 1600 will certainly prove enough to tell a difference. Low power use also made it possible to slap on a smaller cooler in my Meshroom S V2. Gaming performance is as expected, and the CPU isn’t being taxed incredibly hard since I’m gaming at 4K. At least for 4K resolution, I highly recommend saving some money with this CPU and putting the rest into a 5070 Ti / 5080 / 5090 / etc. to get good native frame numbers from newer games.

Great value - [Employee of bestbuy] Cool temperature and great performance I have no complaints
