## Description

AMD Ryzen™ 5 5500 6-Core, 12-Thread Unlocked Desktop Processor with Wraith Stealth Cooler.

Review: A Powerful CPU for Gaming & Productivity! - I recently built my first custom PC with the AMD Ryzen 5 5500, and I couldn't be happier with my decision! This processor offers an excellent balance of performance for the price, It provides performance comparable to more expensive models without breaking the bank. Whether you're gaming, streaming, or working on intensive tasks, this CPU holds its ground brilliantly if you’re on a budget. I've tested it with various games, and it performs exceptionally well, especially at 1080p resolution. The 6 cores and 12 threads allow for efficient background processing without any noticeable lag. Despite heavy use, I’ve found that the CPU stays cool even under load. I paired it with the Wraith Prism, and I rarely see temperatures rising above 70°C, which is impressive. The installation process was straightforward, and it worked seamlessly with my existing B550 motherboard. I appreciate that AMD continues to support their CPUs with BIOS updates, ensuring compatibility with future technologies. Overall, I highly recommend the AMD Ryzen 5 5500 to anyone looking for a powerful, efficient, and budget-friendly CPU. It's a solid investment for both current & future needs.
Review: Super cheap, performs perfectly fine in games. - I was building my girlfriend her first PC, and this CPU was appealing because it's cheap and still (as of early 2026) reasonably performant. I have nothing bad to say about it. It runs Disney Dreamlight Valley at 3440x1440 at 120 fps (paired with a suitable GPU of course) and it's very cool and quiet with the included radiator. In fact, even in a compact case, just using the stock 'Wraith' radiator, it can hit its max boost clock and remain easily within safe temperatures. For $80 this is an absolute steal.
