AMD Ryzen 5 2600X Processor with Wraith Spire Cooler - YD260XBCAFBOX

Upon opening the package, one of the pins was bent and could not be installed in the motherboard. I was able to use an exacto knife to gently bend the pin back into place, which solved the issue.

I am severely disappointed with this chip. Maybe I lost the silicon lottery but I shouldve saved up for an i7 8700k.

Upgrading frkm a i5 2500 to this was a obvious difference. Been a few months but this thing runs like a champ. Best bang for my buck at the time

Overall great! Handles all my games well and have had little to no issues. It can run hot with the stock fan though, the highest temp I have got is 59 C. Overall, great CPU for the money, but you will need to upgrade the cooler.

First time building a PC when I bought this, that was a bout a year ago. The PC is still running great and this processor is still doing its job.

AMD is king again.

Great value. I’ve been using it since it was released and I’ve had no problems. Still runs all games at 60+ FPS easily. And I all competitive games 100+ FPS on max settings 1440p, including call of duty.

Awsome

So its a great cpu but if it works properly, my cpu is overheating, it reaches 80-85c while playing CS GO!

If you are new to PC building, and if you are unfamiliar with AMD CPUs, you might have harder time than Intel. People tend to bend the pins on AMD CPU far easily than bending Intel Motherboard pins, but thats just based on my experiences watching people build and mess up. But dont worry, PC building is pretty much piece of cake as long as you follow the steps correctly and are observant while building.
