AMD Ryzen 5 2600 Processor with Wraith Stealth Cooler - YD2600BBAFBOX

I've had this CPU installed in my rig for the last few months and it's been great. No regrets whatsoever. Make no mistake, this is an exceptional CPU for the value and has a great reputation for running games well. There is a reason that most of the YouTube build recommendations, specifically for the budget-oriented, will suggest this CPU for your build. Intel should take a page from AMDs book because this card surpasses anything Intel offers at a similar cost; I might even say it surpasses some of what Intel offers at a significantly greater cost. In terms of quality, stability, performance I've had no issues. I use this computer for gaming, as well as overall work/research needs. I've been able to run several modern games without any issue (along with RX570 and 16GB DDR4/3000Mhz ram). With regards to work performance, I do a lot of bioinformatic analysis and this CPU has being able to run computationally demanding software/functions via OmicsBox and various scripts in R. Some of the data files that I've used have maybe 40,000 rows of data, all with multiple columns; I've been able to open, edit without any issues. Keep in mind that this is dependent on your ram and drive too! Overclocking? I've got this card up to 3.9Ghz with the stock AMD cooler on a B450M Aorus board. I've done stress testing with this clock and it's been totally stable. I've yet to experience a single crash with this OC. Some individuals have gotten their cards up to 4.1 or 4.2 even I think...but, this is contingent on the strength of your individual card. There is some variability in the OC potential from card to card. But, I'd say most can reasonably achieve 3.9 without issue. I plan to liquid cool this CPU in the next week and will see how that affects things. Temperatures have been a little high at times, but again I'm using a stock cooler with a decent OC, often playing highly demanding games. I'd highly recommend this card to budget and maybe even non-budget minded individuals. This is a great CPU and I'd probably put more money into a better GPU before I even thought about upgrading this.

I purchased the Ryzen 5 2600 for my sons gaming build. I personally own the Ryzen 5 3600 in my gaming machine and knew that these Ryzen CPU's are hands down the best CPU's on the market... Many may disagree with this statement but let me explain why. Price: Ryzen CPU's are priced much lower than Intel counterparts and offer a better price/performance. Pairing a Ryzen 5 2600 with a AM4 motherboard is much less than the equivalent pairing of a Intel I5-8400 with a 1151 socket. $120 for a Ryzen 52600 or $245 for the Intel equivalent.. i'm sure you can do that math. Performance: While the I5 mentioned above technically is slightly faster in single and quad core operations, the Ryzen 5 smokes the Intel I5 due to it's hexacore configuration. Pair this with a decent overclock and you have a capable processor that comes in at half the price of the competition. The Ryzen series cpu's like a good fast ram. There are plenty of options to choose from here on Amazon but I personally went with the Patriot Viper 4 16GB (8x2) 3200 Mhz ram - https://amzn.to/31vUnPi and have not regretted this purchase one bit. Future Proof: With every few iterations of the Intel CPU's comes a new chip set and corresponding board configuration. The Ryzen series processors (Now Gen 4) are all compatible with the AM4 socket. Not only does this make building your rig easy, but there is some assurance that when you want to upgrade to the latest Ryzen CPU you will not have to buy a new board and possibly ram on top of it. Most upgrades I have seen consist of a newer gen processor and a motherboard firmware update. I am not a AMD fanboy and do enjoy seeing the performance and specs coming from the Intel processors. Saying this, I do know how to spot deals and at sub $130 this CPU is an absolute monster.

Happy Gaming!

Still this CPU is running as powerful as the day it arrived, I've had it running with my GTX 1070 and supported my 16gb of ram and it just performed wonderfully for it's time. It's non graphics integrated CPU so it doesn't display anything without a GPU. I never had a problem with the pins bending or they being bent at arrival. It is a bit difficult t o run many modern games and stream with it at the same time, so you might want to look elsewhere, but if you are going to use it for servers, basic things or Linux, this is a great addition to your arsenal.

Very nice processor for multitasking and budget gaming PC build. I am writing review after 3 years and I am still using on my day to day work and latest AAA Gaming like Call of duty Modernwarfare 2 and War zone, Valorant and Counter Strike 2 and it's running fine still now no over heating or any problem. Using with Asus Tuf B450 motherboard with 32gb DDR4 3000 MHZ Ram and Using RTX 3060 12 GB graphics card. Samsung 970 evo plus 1tb Nvme and Antec 650 watt Psu. Still running smooth.

2ª generación de procesadores Ryzen® de AMD. Muy buena CPU si tienes un presupuesto ajustado. Tras 8 meses de uso intensivo no podría estar más satisfecho, he esperado un tiempo prudencial para hacer la reseña. Todas las semanas montamos equipos de Gaming, hasta hace unos meses sólo montábamos procesadores INTEL®, pero con la nueva generación de Procesadores Ryzen®, Amd está ganando de nuevo terreno en el mundo de las CPU. Este es un procesador de gama media con unos resultados más que excelentes. MUY IMPORTANTE: Si te haces con este procesador asegúrate que la placa base que compres sea compatible con la 2ª generación de procesadores RYZEN (las que vienen con el chip X470 ya vienen preparadas, y no tendrás que andar actualizando la bios), aunque en cuanto puedas yo actualizaría la bios de la placa para evitar problemas futuros. Como comento en el título es una opción excelente si no quieres que tu equipo se salga de presupuesto. Tiene un consumo de 65W, y una velocidad base de la CPU es de 3,4 Ghz, llegando hasta los 3,9 Ghz, si quieres hacer un overclocking extremo este no es el procesador adecuado, prueba mejor con un Ryzen 2700X. Cuando monté el equipo quería probar unos componentes nuevos para tener conocimiento en persona de su funcionamiento y poder asesorar a mis clientes en futuras compras. Con el Setup que tengo ahora mismo montado me mueve a 60 FPS en resolución FULLHD (1920x1080) “todos los juegos del mercado” (Fortnite, SW Battleground, SEKIRO, GTA…). Compré este procesador porque cuando monté el equipo no quería pasarme mucho de presupuesto (cosa que finalmente se desmadró), pero 150€ por este procesador era y es un chollo. En un futuro montaré un Ryzen superior ya que adquirí un monstruo de placa para hacer un Overclocking a lo bestia, aquí os dejo la review de la placa base. (en mi opinión mucha placa para este procesador, pero desde siempre la P.B. es el componente al que dedico mayor parte del presupuesto a la hora de montar un equipo, y no he petado una placa en 15 años, procesadores he quemado unos cuantos ;) ): Enlace a placas base compatibles con CPU’s Ryzen de segunda generación: ✔️Gama media: MSI X470 Gaming Plus ✔️Gama media/alta: Asus ROG STRIX X470-F CONFIGURACIÓN EQUIPO GAMING GAMA MEDIA: • P.B: MSI X470 Gaming M7/AC • CPU: RYZEN 2600 3,4Ghz hasta los 3,9 Ghz. Socket AM4 • RAM: G-Skill 32Gb 4x8Gb, 3200Mhz. • VGA: Radeon Sapphire RX580 8GB DDR5. • SSD: Samsung EVO 970 M2 NVME 250GB • SSD SATA: x2 Crucial BX200 500GB • Torre: Thermaltake Core P3. • Refrigeración: NZXT KRM22. • Fuente: Tacens Valeo 800W 80+ Silver. Con esa configuración me mueve todos los juegos a 60 FPS estables EN FHD (1920x1080p). Si quieres jugar en ULTRA (4K), esta configuración se te quedará corta, personalmente lo he probado con un simulador de carreras y baja a 20FPS, con mucho lag, ghosting... ✌️Un saludo a tod@s.👋 ;)

Pair with the gigabyte ax370 still working very well,nice cpu,old Intel I7-4790 leave aside.

Excellent CPU at an amazing value, and excellent gaming all around. Having worked with a 1700X before (i still have the 1700X) i expected a few glitches setting up RAM, but got no glitches at all, in fact the B350 (my Asrock Pro4m came with newest bios update) recognized the 3200mhz 32GB Gskill RipjawsV (intel kit) without a hitch. Increasing voltage on the RAM kit to 1.45V and reducing timings to CL13 netted an 15-16% improvement in Ray-trace & Video (4K) rendering (if ur lucky enough that ur RAM kit will let u go that far, but CL14 should be doable on most decent kits), another 3-5% performance gain is possible from the B450 series motherboards (if u can get it cheap). Overclocking the cpu was much easier than the 1000series (MUCH, much easier). Increased voltage and bumped up frequency until it hit 4.25Ghz @ 1.38v for 24/7 operation at 67-70C max load with a 240mm AIO. (CPU is capable of 4.35Ghz but at over 1.5V, so thats ok for testing but not for 24/7 operation). System has now run a over a month with no crashes or RAM errors or any type of errors. @ 4.25Ghz Ray-tracing Rendering improved another 8-10% for a total gain of 24-26% over stock, 4K video render chopped 10min off the total render time (completely linear improvement with OC), at this speed (4.25) it was even able to beat the previous ryzen7 1700 (base 8 core) by a couple of seconds but at much lover price, amazing. With a gtx 1070oc FarCry5 was avg at 112fps, Tomb Raider was in the 132-137fps range, Doom was packing serious frame rates at any quality 160-200fps, Assassin's Creed:Origins & Witcher-3 were silk frame-rates at all settings. Every game runs butter smooth at any setting. This build chopped off around $350 from a equivalent intel budget system build, truly excellent. For the price of one high performance comp build ($3500+-) u can have 3 mid-range brand new systems, regardless if u want a new system every 2-years or just save ur money over next 5-6y for other things. AMD is back in a big way, and this new revision is around 15% better than the last one out of the box. At $245 it's impossible to find anything that can match this CPU in overall performance, $ for $ this might just be the best value/perf. CPU on the market right now.
