Ryzen™ 5 5600G 6-Core 12-Thread Desktop Processor with Radeon™ Graphics

The AMD Ryzen 5 5600G is a stellar 6-core, 12-thread processor that provides a perfect balance of performance and value, especially for budget-conscious builders who may not have a dedicated graphics card yet. Its integrated Radeon Vega 7 graphics are surprisingly powerful, capable of delivering smooth 60+ FPS gameplay at 1080p in popular eSports titles like Valorant and CS:GO right out of the box. Beyond gaming, the "Zen 3" architecture ensures ultra-fast responsiveness for multitasking and content creation, while the included Wraith Stealth cooler keeps temperatures stable and noise levels low. While it is limited to PCIe 3.0, it remains a highly efficient and reliable choice that maintains excellent CPU grunt even after you eventually upgrade to a discrete GPU. It is very durable and smooth.

So far working great! I had issues with my 5500 not displaying an image, so decided to go with a cpu with graphics to eliminate my gpu being the issue. Turns out my gpu was fine, the cpu just didn’t want to cooperate with the gpu, once I installed this 560 everything works and ran smoothly. Great processor, I can run SW outlaws at 1080p and barely break 45c

an amazing processor, I use it everyday for streaming, and some light gaming. can have 15 chrome tabs open and no slow down. Highly recommend! also, you can add a more powerful GPU if you want high level gaming

Worked like a charm and gave me no trouble when I installed in on my new ASUS ROG motherboard. I built a new system as I finally moved to Windows 11 and I was a bit concerned that all new hardware would cause me some problems in set-up but that wasn't the case. The heat levels are well controlled by both software and the cooling fans that I installed. I use stand alone Nvidea graphics card and the system delivers excellent grahics for the level of online gaming I do. All together I'm pleased with speed and power and 6 cores is more than enough for my purposes. It handles the 6 HDD & 2 CD/DVD recorder/players I still use once in awhile.

This Ryzen 5 5600G was the perfect CPU for the compact PC I built a few years ago. It’s a powerful little 6-Core/12-Thread chip that offers incredible performance for the price. What makes it great for a small system is the integrated Radeon Graphics. This let me postpone buying a dedicated GPU for a long time without sacrificing general usability. It ran everything perfectly on the Gigabyte A520I AC motherboard and was reliably powered by the Thermaltake 650W PSU. If you’re building a small form factor PC or a budget gaming rig, this is the ultimate starting point. It works perfectly to this day and has been rock-solid.

I write this review in the midst of the great chip shortage and video card mining debacle of 2021. In short - my GeForce 980TI failed. Video card prices are through the roof, even the used market has gone stupid. I picked this up after watching some reviews online and reading about it. Lets get right to it. Gaming Performance - I play a mix of games - Elder Scrolls Online (ESO), Diablo II Resurrected, Outer Worlds, and Fallout 4. Stock cooler, stock speeds, motherboard set to XMP profile 2 on my RAM. ESO - 1080p, mix of low and medium settings - 45 - 70 frames per second with 58 being the average. Diablo II Resurrected - 1080p low. 40 - 60 frames per second Outer Worlds - 720p, high and medium mixed settings - 50 frames per second. Fallout 4 - 1080p medium, 50 - 60 frames per second I do not play competitive games like Fortnite or Valorant, though there are plenty of reviews of this chip playing those games on YouTube. So here are the pros and cons: Pros - fast, good chip, excellent multi-thread performance (so if you do any sort of encoding or editing of pics, vids, etc) this thing is super fast, the Vega 7 graphics are good for what they are. This thing overclocks like a champ too, I was able to get it up 4.4ghz with the stock cooler... I wouldn't leave it there, but if you pick up a better cooler this thing would be a rocket. Best of all it slipped right into a my MSI B450 Mortar motherboard after a bios update. Cons - If you want to overclock this thing you need to a better cooler. Period. You also need fast RAM for the best performance out of the both the proc and the video (I would say minimum of 3600mhz RAM... I am using 4400 mhz). The Vega graphics are perfectly fine by my standards (MINE), if you are a competitive gamer and need to have the highest, best, fastest frame rates all the time, then you'd be better off either scouring the used market or waiting for video card prices to return to some form of sanity.

Tres bon pour les jeux et du multitâche et compatible windows 11 !

If you're playing games at 1080p, and not doing insane tasks, this is the right CPU for you. I had one before the one I just bought, and not being nearly as experienced with computers, I never monitored its temperature and it likely toasted itself over time. The new one, however, is working like a charm. If I have a tip for you, it's this. Step 1: Go to the searchbar on the bottom left and type choose a power plan, and then open. Step 2: You'll see the balanced (recommended) one. Click change plan settings. Step 3: Click change advanced power settings. Step 4: You'll see a list with some plus signs left of various things. Click the plus sign to the left of "processor power management". Step 5: Click the plus sign next to "maximum processor state". Step 6: Click the number (I assume it will be 100%) and change it to 99%. By following these steps, you'll limit the amount of power your CPU receives. Now, this isn't dangerous, provided you don't set the number really low. I first set it to 70% while following a video. Then I slowly increased it to 85%, and I noticed an insane drop in temperature (around 20-30c) while playing various games. Red Dead Redemption 2, for instance, was cooking my CPU beforehand, and then I turned down the variable and the high temperatures were gone. Now, does it affect performance in any way? It....can. The 5600G is a 6 core, 12 thread processor. When setting it to 85%, the base clock of 3.90GHZ dropped to around 3-3.16GHZ for me. I've noticed zero affect on performance. If there is an affect to performance, it would be a few frames in games, MAYBE. If that. And for browsing the web, I have yet to notice anything. Now of course, if you're planning to use the 5600G as an APU solely (if you don't have a graphics card), then I would be a little more careful with lowering the variable. But if you have a graphics card then I wouldn't worry at all. Some people don't recommend the card because "it's not good enough", but how is it not good enough? It shatters web browsing, gaming, streaming, and basically everything that the average PC gamer does on their machine. If we're talking about more advanced activities, then yeah. You might want a CPU that has more cores, or one that is able to reach a higher speed and overclock. If you're planning to build a computer that is just gonna game at 1080p-1440p with some web browsing, Discord and streaming on the side, it's the CPU for you. Just pay attention to your temperatures. The last 5600G I had cooked under my nose. Ryzens get pretty hot.

Ich habe den Prozessor bereits seit ca einem halben Jahr. Das Ding ist flott genug. Der Stromverbrauch ist maximal 78W. Wenn man den Turbo aus schaltet (Windows Energiesparplan 99% Leistung), dann ist der Prozessor 11% langsamer und braucht nur 46W maximal. Im Leerlauf braucht der Prozessor ca 6-7W. Völlig okay. Im Deskmini oder im iTX Gehäuse empfehle ich den Prozessor auf 46W laufen zu lassen. Dann wird es auch schön leise und die Temperatur bleibt auch hier unter 70°C. Im passivem Gehäuse wie ein Incus von Cirrus7 Media Edition bleibt er bei 46W auch relativ kühl (max 69°C). Der beigelegte Kühler ist okay. Der wird im 78W Modus doch recht laut. Bei 46W ist auch der kaum wahrnehmbar. Wenn man einen großen Kühler im ATX-Gehäuse (Normales PC Gehäuse) verwendet bleibt der 5600G auch bei 78W kühl und leise. Die Grafik ist an sich nicht schlecht und teilweise wirkt es erstaunlich wenn man Spiele wie GTA5 zockt, welche Grafik aus der kleinen Box raus kommt. So ein Deskmini ist kleiner als ein PC-Netzteil. Aber die Grafik ist gerade so zu langsam um gängige, neue PC Spiele auf niedrigster Einstellung in 1080 zu zocken. Meist kommen da 25-30fps raus. Oder man geht auf 900/720p. Ich hätte mir etwas mehr CUs gewünscht, da der Vorgänger ja 8 hat und der 5600G nur 7 hat. Wäre toll wenn der 5600G 12 CUs hätte, dann würden die Spiele mit 35-45fps laufen. Dennoch total geniale CPU, wenn man kompakte PCs bauen will. Nachtrag Mai 2024: Immernoch total irre. Wenn ich das Ding nun auf 14W im Multi-Core begrenze ist der 5600G ca 1/3 langsamer als Apples aktuellster M3 und im Single-Core ca 40-50% langsamer. Apple kocht auch nur mit Wasser und theoretisch war die APU in der Lage Apples M1 ziemlich Feuer zu machen.

Smooth and fast boot-up from Window 11 and fast graphic display on the monitor. Good performance and quality for value compared to its competitor. I always enjoy AMD though I have had Intel before. This is really a good CPU as most put it!

This cpu is really fast. Im getting 300+ fps on fortnite performance mode all epic setting and in gta over 120. Really like the cpu and its also compatible with windows 11
