Low power, fantastic performance for games. Not bad for apps either. Running a low profile thermalright heatsink with slow fan. Very quiet.

Excellent value if picked up on sale. Snagged this for $220 and it absolutely stomps. Cinebench multi core comes in at 924. Compared to the top of their benchmarks this is tremendous performance per dollar, with the very best Apple M1 Ultra 20 core scoring just over 1600. Heck, the next best ranked a Ryzen 5 Threadripper 2990 with 32 cores only manages a synthetic 1201. That's nuts! I've had this up and running for a few hours with a very basic ID-Cooler Frozen a620 and it runs well within spec. Idle around 40c, full load around 65c. This packaging does not come with a cooler of any kind, so keep that in mind when you're budgeting. As I've been running benchmarks it'll hit the max TDP of 65w and just.....breeze through computations. No fuss, no muss. In general duty so far it smoothly ramps clock speed depending on the load without hiccups or slowdown. I never thought I'd see the day where a factory CPU will peg itself to 5.4ghz and scream for more yet sip power like this thing does. Just simply floored at how far AMD has come.

I was going to go with the 7600x before I discovered that this processor is faster, while drawing less power, like most processors it’s also easy to install, and was detected by my motherboard immediately. Stays pretty cool with my Peerless assassin cooler, and supplies plenty of speed for my other components.

Low power usage versus higher end models, especially after tuning for minimum stable voltage at moderate speed. For testing, I was able to get a stable 4.8 Ghz at 1.000v when using a nicer air cooler. Only used 48w and stayed below 64 Celsius. Over 15,500 points using the Cinebench multi core test.

Value for money as always. Awesome CPU for a gaming build.

Great CPU. Not sure why an average user would need more than this. Will not bottleneck a video card.

This CPU performs great in Fortnite and Apex Legends. It can hit 90c on a Titan RX 240mm AIO but this is expected with Zen5 AMD CPUs. I never saw it thermal throttle in HWInfo during stress testing.

Very happy with this quick little guy. Plays the latest games with ease at high settings paired with an RTX 4070.

Il Ryzen 5 9600X rappresenta l'ultima evoluzione dell'architettura Zen 5 di AMD e si posiziona come un'ottima opzione per chi cerca un processore dalle prestazioni elevate per gaming e produttività, senza dover spendere una fortuna. I punti di forza: Prestazioni eccellenti: Grazie all'architettura Zen 5, il 9600X offre prestazioni single-thread e multi-thread notevolmente migliorate rispetto alla generazione precedente, garantendo un'esperienza fluida sia nei giochi che nelle applicazioni più impegnative. Efficienza energetica: Nonostante le prestazioni elevate, il 9600X si distingue per un consumo energetico contenuto, permettendo di mantenere basse le temperature e riducendo la necessità di sistemi di raffreddamento esagerati. Ottimo rapporto qualità/prezzo: Il 9600X offre un equilibrio eccellente tra prestazioni e prezzo, posizionandosi come un'alternativa molto competitiva rispetto ai processori Intel della stessa fascia. Supporto alle ultime tecnologie: Il processore supporta le più recenti tecnologie, come la memoria DDR5 e le schede video PCIe 5.0, garantendo una compatibilità a lungo termine. Punti da considerare: Disponibilità limitata: Al momento del lancio, la disponibilità del 9600X potrebbe essere limitata a causa dell'alta domanda. TDP contenuto: Sebbene l'efficienza energetica sia un punto di forza, il TDP contenuto potrebbe limitare leggermente le prestazioni in overclocking. A chi è consigliato: Gamer appassionati: Il 9600X offre prestazioni eccellenti nei giochi più recenti, garantendo un'esperienza di gioco fluida e senza scatti. Creatori di contenuti: Il processore è adatto anche per attività come editing video, rendering 3D e streaming, grazie alle elevate prestazioni multi-thread. Utenti che cercano un upgrade: Chi possiede un processore di vecchia generazione troverà nel 9600X un notevole miglioramento in termini di prestazioni. In conclusione, l'AMD Ryzen 5 9600X rappresenta un'ottima scelta per chi cerca un processore potente e versatile, senza dover spendere una fortuna. Le sue prestazioni elevate, l'efficienza energetica e il buon rapporto qualità/prezzo lo rendono un'opzione molto interessante sia per i gamer che per gli utenti professionali.

Exactly what I expected from the lower end budget AM5 processors, seems to be relatively fast for general use and works well enough with the games that I play.
