Great CPU
Works great, cools easily, came in good condition. Great for $220. I use a $30 soulsilver 110 to cool it and it idles on 40cAnd 50c on load.

Great CPU for even Heavy gaming!
Great CPU! I see alot of hate on it on the internet but honestly its great! Perfect for a midrange Gaming PC. Plays anything you need, Havent had any issues! Very easy too cool aswell. a $35 water cooler has kept it below 50c steadily no matter the load. Very low power consumption Im assuming. Runs great! Much better option price wise than every other new or used AMD or Intel CPU!

Good performance for the price
Performs well, especially at the pricepoint I bought it at. I paired it with the 9070xt, give fast responsive gaming that I haven’t had an issue with in any games, no crashes or stutters.

The best budget CPU you can get
I bought this for a budget-friendly PC build that I hope will last a few years. It’s great for gaming, just pair it with a decent GPU, and you’ll get excellent performance. It’s also power-efficient, so it doesn’t run too hot. I’m using an air cooler, and even under heavy load, the CPU stays between 60°C and 70°C.

Incredibly fast CPU for its price.
This CPU is blazing fast. It handles everything I throw at it, and for such a cheap price! It runs nice and cool, only reaching 50-55C when gaming with my fans only at low, unnoticeable speeds.

Great CPU is you get it for a reasonable price.
Great processor if you get it at a decent price. I paid around $170, and for that price I have zero complaints. I paired the 9600x with a 9070xt and between the two it’s played everything I’ve thrown at it with no problem at 1440p. I don’t really use it for productivity, streaming, or anything like that, I just use it for gaming, but for that purpose it’s great. Granted the X3D cpus are better in some games than this, but they also cost quite a bit more, so the value makes the 9600x well worth it for someone on a budget still looking for a good gaming processor.Temps are decent. I have it paired with a Thermalright 360mm aio, and it hasn’t gone above 72c while gaming.I highly recommend it, the price to performance is great.

An inexpensive Ryzen 5 9000 series CPU that more than does the job.
I bought this to test to see if I had a bad motherboard or a bad CPU. It ended up being a bad motherboard. I decided to keep this CPU for a 2nd backup system in case my main system goes down again. Once I get the replacement motherboard since my motherboard was under warranty I’m going to be using this in my new system. I tested it with a RX 9070XT and a RTX 5070TI. For 1440p to 4k gaming this CPU handles most new AAA games with no issues. IMO I don’t believe the average person buys a RX 9070XT or a RTX 5070TI to play games at 1080p unless they’re extremely competitive ESports gamers or play competitive 1st person shooters. This CPU is very power efficient, does decent for the average PC user looking to web browse, do basic tasks, watch movies, light office tasks, listen to music and use mid range GPUs like the RX 9070XT or the RTX 5070TI to play games at 1440p or higher and it also pushes them well enough for video rendering applications. If you’re looking for a CPU for competitive gaming I’d recommend at least the 7800X3D or 9800X3D and for professional use at least a 12c/24t or greater CPU like the 7900, 7950XT, 9900XT or the 9950XT. I could recommend Intel for professional use, but considering their price compared to the competing AMD products and worse power efficiency I wouldn’t ATM.JMO, feel free to disagree.

GREAT performance!! great price, good temps, As described.
Really a performance leap, recommended for upgrades and power consumption is nothing to the performance it gives, if you learn to undervolt it, it will surprise you how cool it runs with higher performance.

Muy rápido y eficiente, di el salto de un Intel i7 de 7ma generación a este ryzen5 9600x y estoy muy sorprendido, es cierto que prácticamente todo en mi equipo es nuevo pero se nota un mundo de diferencia, eso sí hay que invertirle pero creo que tengo un equipo vigente para algunos años más
