I found myself in need of upgrading a Core i5 2500K to allow my daughter to play Fortnite with my son and I. I paired this Ryzen 5 4500 with a Gigabyte B450M DS3H WIFI board and 16GB of TForce DDR4, and completed the build with an Antec 520W power supply, a 500GB SSD, and a Radeon RX 6600 that I had sitting in the parts bin. I already had Windows 11 installed on the drive and it booted right up. I installed the appropriate drivers and then used CPU-z to run a stress test. Under 100% load using the included Wraith Stealth cooler, the max temp I saw was 85C. Since I run a Ryzen 9 7900x on my main rig, I am more than comfortable with Ryzen's ability to handle heat, and 85C is perfectly acceptable in my book. Despite running hot, the fan was nice and quiet the entire time. This was under stock settings - no tuning to the fan curve. During the stress test, the max wattage use by the CPU was right around 58. Right now while idling it is pulling 10 watts and sitting at 40C. The only game I have installed right now is Fortnite. On Epic presets, 1080p, using the RX 6600, I was getting 40-55 FPS (which I consider perfectly playable on a budget-level system). On High presets I consistently pulled 60-70 FPS. I would get a little stuttering here and there, which I suspect is memory-bandwidth-related. In all fairness I haven't even opened the BIOS to tune any settings. GPU usage was at 100% and CPU was at maybe 75%-80%. I consider that a pretty efficient pairing, though you could possibly bump up to something like a 6750 XT to get a little more performance without the CPU becoming a bottleneck. In any case, this is sufficient performance for 1080p gaming on most modern titles running at higher settings (without raytracing of course). I'll be doing some additional benchmarks as I finish up the 100+GB downloads, and if there are any changes to my opinion I'll update this review. There are definitely faster processors, some of which don't cost a whole lot more than this. But since my goal was to build a viable system that paired well with my existing hardware, this really hit the sweet spot in terms of price and performance.

Great performance and quality. The AM4 socket is highly compatible, and there are upgrades from this. with 6 good cores and great thermal resistance as well as price this is a good CPU for a midrange build

Great budget CPU works with a 970 and can do most things a person would need (upgrading to a 2070 and can still work)

Nice budget cpu Doesn’t get to high in temperatures Runs nice in Gpu heavy games not so much in CPU heavy games This works with AM4 support Easy to install but do be warned you could get locked out of system when upgrading CPU’s but a quick tutorial could help fix that issue Comes with additional items like a cpu fan and thermal paste already applied on the cpu fan.

The Ryzen 5 4500 is one of the best budget cpus for gaming and daily use. Price to performance is extremely hard to beat especially as you can find this currently under 80$ AMD is consistently both the best performance and price to performance leader in the CPU market and especially to those willing to stick with an older platform like AM4. I also love for my customers that they get an easy to understand upgrade path that often allows them to maintain as much of their hardware as possible. If your goal is a sub 500-600$ new parts PC this is the CPU for you!

Works as intended also very easy to install. I have ran into no issues with this PC so far. I will need to upgrade soon as I cannot run oblivion remastered very well, but if you get what you pay for.

Very good processor so far no faults and quite decent I combined it with a 1660S and 32 GB RAM and it's a gemAs an additional note, the temperatures are very low even when it reaches 100% with the factory paste.

他の人も書いている通り中身はRyzen 5 4500で、現在の価格が11564円 これでZEN2世代の6コア12スレッドが買えるのはかなりコスパが高い 7nmプロセスルール製品なので5000番代の製品並みの低発熱・低消費電力 とくに特徴のない製品ではあるけど、ポジションとしては超低価格なのにそこそこ使える優秀なCPUで、円安の影響で10000円を切るには至ってないけど2年前の1600AF的なコスパのCPUだと思えば間違いない これと相性が良さそうなグラボはGTX1050TiとかGTX1650あたりで、フルHD75Hzやらのモニタでゲームを楽しむのには最適の環境になるだろう もうひとつ2つ上のランクのグラボでもこのCPUがボトルネックになるようなことはないだろうと思うけどね グラボのあてがあってRYZENで安く組みたいならこの製品のコスパはベストチョイスだよ ※2023年1月に追記 現在4500の値段が12000円前後する一方、RYZEN 5 5500という製品が14000円を切る値段で出ていて、性能で言ったら5500の方が遥かに高性能なので、2000円弱ほど高くなるけどよほどのことがない限りは現状5500を買った方がいいと思うぞ

Good upgrade from a AMD Athlon 200 GE. And honestly really runs smooth and no problems. Easy to overclock as you can overclock from 3.6 to 4.1 GHz. I use this to play games and it does fine as long as you have a good GPU to go along with it. Just make sure your motherboard bios are up to date before installing this CPU. Overall, if you're looking for something cheap and reliable this is a great place to start as some us just don't have crazy amounts of money.

You get what you pay for on a budget CPU but better than a 4 core CPU for it price. USD$83 for a 6 core/ 12 threads CPU base Clock at 3.6GHz! It lost it performance if you compare others 6 core CPU due to it limited "L3 Cache 8MB"! It's not a bad CPU for it current price get this CPU instead of saving a few bucks on a 4 core CPU why not a 6 core CPU with decent 65w TPD :) If you wanted to buy a budget 4 core CPU I recommend this CPU for it value! If you want a CPU with 6 core and wanted good performance and not on budget get something else! Thank you!
