5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic for 1440P and 4K gaming
I got this to pair up with a 7900 XTX for 4K gaming. This is a fantastic CPU, however there are a few things to know. I did pair this with 6000 CL36 RAM and a MSI B650 Tomahawk board. It ran EXPO with no issues, however the processor was running at a higher clock than factory and was causing some stability issues. To fix this issue I ran the CPU at a negative .15 offset. This brought stability to the system and also increased performance in games and in cinabench R23. Also to note this is a chip that runs hot, but that it is designed to run hot by AMD. To keep it cool I ran a EK 360 AIO and set the package temperature limit to 85 degrees. Even with the negative .15 offset and 85 degrees limit this chip benchmarked higher that most review I have seen for the 7600X. I did attempt a undervolt with PBO and it would not accept any, however with the setting I have previously mentioned this chip ran cool with awesome performance, still exceeding the factory 5.3 boost speeds. After settings were in place it was running games at 50-60c, with no bottlenecks on the 79000XTX at 1440p or 4K. Overall I am very pleased with my choice to get the 7600X as I only use it for gaming and no productivity. For anyone that is wanting a fast gaming CPU, this one will accomplish that at a very good price!

5.0 out of 5 stars Nearly the Same Performance as the 7700X but for Less
I have absolutely zero complaints about this processor. I originally had a 7700X, but I decided to sell it and get the 7600X in its place- that was a perfect decision. The 7600X is an absolute powerhouse. While you do lose a couple of cores, and may lose some productivity performance in terms of video editing and graphic design, there is barely a difference when it comes to games.
In the games I tested, such as Cyberpunk, GTA V, RDR2, and Borderlands 3, I averaged only about a 2-4 FPS difference compared to when I was using the 7700X. It also helps extensively with cooling, as this only has a TDP of 65W at its best efficiency compared to the 7700X’s 105W. However, despite the lower TDP, the 7600X can still get fairly hot, as I still found that my AIO wouldn’t stop it from still reaching the lower 80’s in more demanding titles.
One major thing to note about the 7600X (or all AM5 processors in general) is that due to the new heat spreader design, you will need to make sure that you use a compatible cooler that uses a mounting system that will still apply adequate pressure, and also to be careful if you ever need to remove the CPU as it is harder to grip it by the sides. It’s also very easy for thermal paste to fall into the grooves of the new IHS, but this won’t be an issue as long as you steer clear of metal-based thermal solutions (unless you know what you’re doing.)
Overall, the Ryzen 5 7600X is the best value bargain deal in terms of ALL CPUs on the market right now- regardless if you prefer AMD or Intel. There is simply no CPU with as much performance, versatility, and general range of use in terms of its cost. Additionally, the periodic sales make it even more of a value deal, and I would definitely suggest getting the 7600X over all the other options if all you primarily do is streaming, gaming, or general use. I highly recommend it!

5.0 out of 5 stars First time using AMD
I’m pretty amazed the speed of this processor, I mean it’s fast, my primary use it’s for gaming and I can say it performs pretty quick. And for the price you can say it’s the very bang for the buck.
Keep improving amd going to build another one and I’m pretty satisfied with amd so far.

5.0 out of 5 stars Good bang for your buck for newer Ryzen 7000 series processors
This CPU works out great while waiting for the top Ryzen CPUS to come down in price. That might take some time but this CPU is really good. It is easy to install. Ryzen processors are designed to run hot. It’s by design. If that bothers you, just under clock/under volt it to keep it cooler. Use the curve settings in your MB bios.

5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect
Does a great job with no issues. Good in game performance and matches with my 4080 very well

5.0 out of 5 stars Works like I expected it to
Had to return a Ryzen 7600 because it couldn’t detect the video card (rx7600) I bought, or any for that matter.
Got this today and plugged it in and it worked!

1.0 out of 5 stars Having problems w my pc since the beginning…
Having issues with my pc since the start. Just turned on and everything seems fine, after installing all the drivers, and try to play some games. My pc starts crashing the whole time, first runned a windows memory diagnostic and found out something seems wrong w the ram, return and exchanged for another pair, and the system still malfunctioning, crashing, blue screen, not stable w any easy task. Try to see the Voltage, and see what is wrong w this unstable nightmare, find out the cpu is not even able to handle any other number than 5 w the curve in bios and not even that, after 10 to 15 mins everything crash again… I am really pissed off, I do not think it is fair for me work monday to friday, get the money to buy some good quality pc, and find out after many hours of troubleshooting that the only way my pc is able to work properly (with out being able to undervolt and get some nice temps and perfor) was setting CPU Boost Clock OV Enable (Negative) w MAX CPU boost clock Override (-) 200.
I have been strugling w this pc for 3 weeks and just realize the cpu is defective… otherwise I am not supposed to be troubleshooting for many many hours, and CPU should be working FINE AT DEFAULT SETTINGS…
PD: Because I am living outside the US and the time it took for me to get to this point, I will not be able to return it and get me money back… I had to work for another 2 weeks to get the same CPU local for 300$ THANKS…

4.0 out of 5 stars It’s a bit spicy
Great value entry point to the AM5 platform. It was $10 cheaper than the non-X model. No fan included, which is fine because I went elsewhere for that in ITX case.
I ended up undervolting it after seeing it hit 84c in Cyberpunk 2077. After that simple config switch it dropped almost 20 degrees! WIth no drops in FPS. Or at least not noticeable.
