Great processor, lots of threads at a reasonable price!

from completed build Modest AMD Gaming/Productivity Build

I had been using an 8320E for a few years now. Huge noticeable difference with Ryzen 5 in video editing and streaming games.

from completed build First Ever PC Build - Ryzen 5 1600, GTX 1050 Ti

so far so good. great price for the performance/core count. it was hard for me to line up the screws on the cooler, I smeared the thermal paste a bit.

from completed build My First Build! (For my Dad)

This CPU has a great value/performance ratio. It also includes an amazing cooler that is nearly silent and a nice case badge. I didn't know this, but the heat sink has thermal paste pre-applied.

Amazing CPU! Good for gaming and everything else :)

from completed build Finally upgraded to Ryzen - and lovin' it

Absolutely great value! 6 cores with SMT for just over 220 € and the included Wraith Spire cooler is actually pretty decent (fairly quiet and keeps the CPU cool enough for my taste). I was considering buying an aftermarket cooler or even an all-in-one water cooler, but honestly I'm just fine with the stock one for now. Also I don't plan on overclocking as long as the CPU is good for 60 fps.

from completed build Everlasting Snow

Works great, is amazing for multitasking and handles gaming amazingly. The stock cooler is nerve-racking to install for a first time builder, but no need to deduct a star for that.
