AMD Ryzen 5 5600X 3.70GHz AM4 OEM 100-100000065

The AMD Ryzen 5 5600X is a six-core, twelve-thread processor from the Ryzen 5000 series, designed for the AM4 socket. It runs at a base clock of 3.7 GHz and boosts up to 4.6 GHz, making it a solid choice for gaming, multitasking and demanding everyday workloads. With 32 MB of L3 cache and 3 MB of L2 cache, it handles data efficiently, while its 65-watt TDP keeps power consumption moderate.

The processor supports DDR4 memory in dual-channel mode at up to 3200 MHz. It is supplied without a cooler, so a separate CPU cooler is required. For use with AM4 motherboards, a BIOS update is needed on A520, B450, B550, X470 and X570 boards before installation.

The CPU is compatible with Windows 11 and suits desktop builds or upgrades where a capable six-core processor is the priority.
