Ryzen 5 7600 6 Cores/12 Threads 65 Watts 38MB Cache Gaming Processor, Multicolor

I’ve been using the AMD Ryzen 5 7600 Processor and it’s a fantastic CPU for the money. You could spend a bit more to get the 7600X, but in my experience the performance difference isn’t enough to make it worth it. It handles 1080p and 1440p gaming really well and runs reliably. Pros: • Excellent value for money • Great for 1080p and 1440p gaming • Reliable performance Cons: • None I’ve noticed Overall, a solid CPU that gives great performance without overspending.

Simple, solid, affordable. The plain 7600 with the stock cooler is more than serviceable for 99% of users, capable of running games and software just fine. It might not squeeze into the top percentile, but it's a great workhorse at the price point. A 7500F might be better value for gaming, and the 7500x3D/7600x3D has the vaunted 3D cache, but the 7600 is overall nice as it has an iGPU as a backup or for machines that don't have or don't need a graphics card. Low temps ensure longevity.

The Ryzen 5 7600 delivers excellent speed and efficiency, making it a great fit for my use case. It handles tasks smoothly, whether for work or entertainment, and runs cool and quiet. The built-in graphics are useful as a backup, though a dedicated GPU is better for serious gaming. The included cooler is fine for everyday use but may need upgrading for heavier workloads. Overall, it’s a solid, reliable processor that offers great value.

I bought a Ryzen 7600 for use in a new-build media centre PC that would mostly be used for emulation. It is stable, runs very cool and does not consume much power and is mounted into a fairly budget MSI MAG B650M Gaming Plus WIFI motherboard with 32 gb of Lexar Ares 6400mhz DDR5 RAM. I'm only using the in-built graphics capability - and a cheap air cooler, but it performs superbly with everything I've thrown at it so far. I highly recommend this CPU for anyone who wants to get onto the new AM5 platform without breaking the bank. It's a great CPU for this purpose, especially now that B650 motherboards have come down in price a lot. My plan in a few years will be to upgrade the cpu and keep the motherboard, which should be do-able since AM5 will apparently be around for a while yet. Preferred this one over the 7600X as if you need the 'X'tra power you can just turn on precision boost overdrive in the bios which will raise the power limit and give it 7600X like performance while saving a bit of money over the X version.

When choosing between this and the x version there is very little price difference. However seeing as aftermarket coolers are around £40 I opted for this model as it came with a stock cooler. I wrongly presumed that the low tdp of this cpu and that reviews said the cooler was sufficient, meant that I could use a stock cooler and save the £40 for an aftermarket one. Sadly, the stock cooler is very small, I play games like rust and the cpu is hitting 70 degree when only under 50% load and the fan is noisy. A real shame and I regret not buying the x model now as I've had to go for the £40 aftermarket cooler anyway just to keep the thing coool. As a processor, very good, runs fast, seems to perform perfectly well and my £550 gpu is the bottleneck in games still. But the stock cooler.... sush a waste, don't use it. It's noisy and does not work well.

Perfect processor for mid range AM5 build, have this in two seperate builds with an 9060 XT and 5060 Ti, does not bottleneck for either. Do not bother with the stock cooler as it will just want to overheat, better to get a cheap tower air cooler as it will do a way better job. Stock cooler is also very loud. Great value for money.

My GPU came a day late and this bad boy ran Skyrim at almost 60Fps integrated graphics, I mean what? How is that possible? It runs all of my games perfectly, I have two or three tabs open, a stream, a game (Rainbow Six Siege) and also Discord, Steam, Epic games, Steelseries, AMD clipping software and so on, the CPU just tanks it like it's nothing. For the price I was shocked, I spent $600 on the GPU but $200 on the CPU and so far the CPU has been LESS challenged, AMD are the Goats now Intel are moving to AI > Gaming.

Great CPU at the budget end of Ryzen 5 - 12 threads, runs cool, whats not to like?
