AMD Ryzen 5 5600X vs Scythe Fuma 2

But for gamers , definitely but an aftermarket cooler to get better frequencies and temps.

No more thermal throttling when rendering even under 100% load with an overclock. - Very quiet cooler, not even noticable even at 100% fan speed. The Bad: - Mine came with the wrong mounting brackets for the fans. There should be 1 for the larger fan and 1 for the slim fan

7 and 4.6 gigahertz respectively, the 5600x is still everything you'd want in a gaming cpu and more. It also has a relatively low tdp by today's stand...

I have yet to even touch curve optimizer or scalar. I am blown away by how good this thing runs.

Not only price point, but AMD processors as a whole are far better with power consumption; the TDP for AMD Ryzen processors is roughly half that of equivalent Intel processors (mid 60's for AMD, mid 120's for Intel). Prices are from Amazon; performance is from CPU-Z benchmarks. The Ryzen 5 5600x is an excellent CPU if you do not want to spend 200+ on a good processor. I highly recommend for lower/mid-tier builds and make sure you pair it with a Zen 3 motherboard to exploit its full potential

If it’s running loud try and determine what CPU cooler, gpu model and case you have since these are all things that can be causing the loud noise. I wouldn’t recommend liquid cooling, manufacturers will lead you to believe it’s superior but they do run a lot louder and are more expensive than air coolers so a good air cooler like the scythe Fuma 2, Noctua D15, Be Quiet dark rock 4 pro or Noctua NH U12S will work just fine.

I built my first gaming pc and chose this cpu, I’ve had it for 5 months now and it hasn’t slowed me down at all. At first I used it with a gtx 1070 and it ran everything great. recently I got a 6750xt and everything still feels really nice, sometimes it does bottleneck me a little but that rarely happens. The best thing about this cpu for me is its power consumption, if I had a more power hungry cpu I probably wouldn’t be able to have the setup I have now without having to buy another psu

Motherboard: Asus ROG Strix B550i. PSU: LianLi SP 750W (was a bit sketched out about this because of reddit threads but I went with it because of its price and so far its doing well, no fan curve issues.).
