AMD Ryzensets 5 5600G processor ( integrated Radeon Graphics, 6 Cores /12 Threads, 65W DTP, AM4 Socket, 19MB cache, up to 4.4 Ghz max boost, wraith stealth cooler)

I’ve been using the AMD Ryzen 5 5600G for a few months now in a general-purpose build, and it’s proven to be a very capable and well-balanced processor. Installation was straightforward on an AM4 motherboard, I used an aftermarket cooler but the included Wraith cooler would be more than fine. Out of the box, everything worked as expected with no complications. Performance-wise, the 6 cores and 12 threads handle everyday workloads, multitasking, and productivity tasks with ease. It feels responsive across the board, whether running multiple applications or handling more demanding tasks. The integrated Radeon graphics are a standout feature, especially if you’re building a system without a dedicated GPU. It’s more than capable for basic gaming, media consumption, and general use, making it a great option for budget builds or compact systems. Thermals and power consumption are also well managed. The 65W TDP keeps things efficient, and with the stock cooler, noise and temperatures stay at reasonable levels under normal use. If there’s one limitation, it’s that while the integrated graphics are very capable for what they are, they won’t replace a dedicated GPU for more demanding gaming or GPU-heavy workloads—but that’s expected at this level. Overall, the Ryzen 5 5600G is a versatile and cost-effective processor that strikes a great balance between CPU performance and integrated graphics. A strong choice for anyone building a reliable everyday system without needing a separate graphics card.

Maybe the supplier had issues with the 5600G stock, but I had a pleasant surprise when opening up my purchase, as the 5600G actually was the best mid-range CPU the 5600X! Although the Wraith Cooler was a nightmare to install onto the motherboard, the rest of the setup was painless, and I'm already seeing large gains in framerates when playing titles such as Shadow of the Tomb Raider and Monster Hunter Rise Sunbreak when coupled with the 5700 XT GPU. A much-needed upgrade over the previous Ryzen 5 2600! Pros: - Easy to slot in to the motherboard - Around 300-800MHz boost in Game Mode - Massive improvement in performance compared to the 2600 prior and a compatible Radeon card, with similar results potential with an NVIDIA card Cons: - Fiddly Wraith cooler installation - No iGPU, but the crossfire gains would be minimal in comparison - Probably won't be as fortunate the next time if I order a spare!

Great

I bought this CPU around December 2022, and have been using it for over 8 months now. I don't have a GPU, and this CPU has onboard graphics. The integrated GPU is just as you'd expect it. It isn't going to give you 3 digit framerates in AAA games, but it can get you through almost anything you throw at it. This CPU is a really good contender for budget PC builds, as it's price point gets you quite a lot - 6 cores, onboard graphics, stock cooler, and overall pretty decent performance.

Wanted a CPU with integrated graphics to act as a back up in case my GPU failed. I am know stranger to Ryzen processors. This was my 5th personal CPU & I have put many in other builds for friends and family. I have since moved on to AM5 and resold my this CPU with no issue. As with all AMD cpu's power consumption is low & cooling is super easy and affordable. Just note that going with the G variant over the non G 5600 or 5600X drops PCIE lanes down to Gen3 speeds vs Gen4.

If you don't mind PCIE gen 3 (AM4) as a limiting factor having the onboard GPU is a no brainer. performs well, overclocks to 4.4ghz, is low power (65w) comes with wraith fan which is so quiet. I run it on an iatx m/b in a thermaltake tower. i'm not a gamer but apparently it's OK and runs Radeon graphics. not os much cutting edge but dependable.

I upgraded my dads PC by going from a 10th gen Intel 10600 and found, despite no changes to components beyond MOBO and CPU, boot up time to log in screen is near or less than 15 seconds whereas the intel would take nearer to a minute or on a couple of occasions more than. Ultimately, this could be considered more of a sideways step but as his computing needs aren't intensive I wanted a robust, yet efficient, set up that would let him play a basic game or two at 1080p without lagging or needing a dedicated GPU. Overall he's very happy, and I'm genuinely shocked by how good the combo turned out as all I changed was the CPU & MOBO, yet saw a genuine performance upgrade...

The CPU is great I ended up buying the Ryzen 5600g because I had to wait like 5 months without a GPU and it played some games completely fine and if you only play low end games like Roblox and Minecraft it will have no problems, now that I have bought a GPU it runs even more games that I've never been able to play, also this is very cheap now which is crazy because of how good it is for a tight budget .

Tres bon pour les jeux et du multitâche et compatible windows 11 !

If you're playing games at 1080p, and not doing insane tasks, this is the right CPU for you. I had one before the one I just bought, and not being nearly as experienced with computers, I never monitored its temperature and it likely toasted itself over time. The new one, however, is working like a charm. If I have a tip for you, it's this. Step 1: Go to the searchbar on the bottom left and type choose a power plan, and then open. Step 2: You'll see the balanced (recommended) one. Click change plan settings. Step 3: Click change advanced power settings. Step 4: You'll see a list with some plus signs left of various things. Click the plus sign to the left of "processor power management". Step 5: Click the plus sign next to "maximum processor state". Step 6: Click the number (I assume it will be 100%) and change it to 99%. By following these steps, you'll limit the amount of power your CPU receives. Now, this isn't dangerous, provided you don't set the number really low. I first set it to 70% while following a video. Then I slowly increased it to 85%, and I noticed an insane drop in temperature (around 20-30c) while playing various games. Red Dead Redemption 2, for instance, was cooking my CPU beforehand, and then I turned down the variable and the high temperatures were gone. Now, does it affect performance in any way? It....can. The 5600G is a 6 core, 12 thread processor. When setting it to 85%, the base clock of 3.90GHZ dropped to around 3-3.16GHZ for me. I've noticed zero affect on performance. If there is an affect to performance, it would be a few frames in games, MAYBE. If that. And for browsing the web, I have yet to notice anything. Now of course, if you're planning to use the 5600G as an APU solely (if you don't have a graphics card), then I would be a little more careful with lowering the variable. But if you have a graphics card then I wouldn't worry at all. Some people don't recommend the card because "it's not good enough", but how is it not good enough? It shatters web browsing, gaming, streaming, and basically everything that the average PC gamer does on their machine. If we're talking about more advanced activities, then yeah. You might want a CPU that has more cores, or one that is able to reach a higher speed and overclock. If you're planning to build a computer that is just gonna game at 1080p-1440p with some web browsing, Discord and streaming on the side, it's the CPU for you. Just pay attention to your temperatures. The last 5600G I had cooked under my nose. Ryzens get pretty hot.

Smooth and fast boot-up from Window 11 and fast graphic display on the monitor. Good performance and quality for value compared to its competitor. I always enjoy AMD though I have had Intel before. This is really a good CPU as most put it!

This cpu is really fast. Im getting 300+ fps on fortnite performance mode all epic setting and in gta over 120. Really like the cpu and its also compatible with windows 11

AMD Ryzen 5 5600G is an excellent value for money proposition. For those who want good performance at lower price point it does not get better than this. This processor uses the older AM4 socket and only supports DDR4 The cooler (wraith stealth) in the box comes with thermal paste applied. Do not touch it! there is no sticker on top of it and can be installed directly on top of CPU. There are you tube videos that help with this step Do not buy motherboards greater then those based on the B450 chipset. This processor can only use PCie3.0 and not PCIe4.0 therefore motherboards based on B550 and above chipsets offer no performance improvements even at a higher price (note: if you are getting a separate GPU with PCIe 4.0 e.g. AMD radeon RX 6500XT or want to use NVMe SSD with M.2 and PCIe 4.0, you might want to look at AMD Ryzen 5600X, which supports PCIe4.0. Of course 5600X is more expensive and does not have iGPU) Processor is easy to install. The cineBench R23 score for this processor is around 10900 points (multi core) and 1500 points (single core) which is better than a 9th gen core i9 (the direct competitor for this processor from intel is the i5 12400, which has slightly better performance (10-15%) as it is newer. It is also pricier as are the compatible motherboards. Also it supports DDR 5 which 5600G does not. The iGPU in 5600G is vastly superior though ) The onboard Radeon Vega 6 graphics is also performative, with 30-40 FPS in modern games (tested with ghostrunner demo) at medium settings. This iGPU will hands down beat most or all intel iGPU and is a good choice for playing games on medium to low settings at 1080P without needing a separate GPU. If playing older games (prior to 2018) performance will be even better Always pair this processor with a dual RAM kit, never a single RAM stick, as Ryzen processor and the iGPU performance benefits from running memory in dual channel mode All the best with your new build! Edit: my component list with price is as follows (July 2023 prices. Indian rupees. In Dollars it is about 380 Dollars total) Ryzen 5 5600G processor-13,000 Rs Asus prime B450M II motherboard-7,500 Rs Adata XPG D50 DDR4 3200MT/s16Gb RAM kit - 4,500 Rs Gigabyte P450 power supply - 2,500 Rs Deepcool Matrexx SI 30 case - 2,300 Rs Total: approx 31,000 Rs Didn't need storage so didn't buy. Would strongly suggest a 512Gb/1Tb PCIe 3rd gen NVMe M.2 SSD for boot drive Would suggest a deepcool case Matrexx SI 40 or higher as that case would be easier to build in and cable manage I also bought a deepcool AK 400 cooler a month later as the thermals were poor. You may not need it, but if you do this is a good cooler at 2,400 Rs Edit: the included stock cooler is unable to handle the heat, with processor running at 45 to 50 degree celsius on idle and max workloads like cinebench and folding at home pushing it to theoretical max of 95 degrees. My case Deep cool matrexx sl30 results in 5-8 degree celsius higher temperature So separate cpu cooler required in my case.
