Best Am4 Cpu 2023

Good board for an AM4 Ryzen CPU.

Already was on the AM4 platform and decided to get the best CPU for gaming on the socket. Saw a flash sale posted online, and decided to pull the trigger. Everything has been great, and got it super quick from the time it shipped! A++++

This was my first AM5 CPU after many years using many AM4 parts. It runs very quickly and beats my old Ryzen 7 5700x on many tasks despite having 2 less cores. It runs cool under full synthetic load at 65 C, but I am using a Thermaltake King Assassin air cooler on it. Never draws more than about 90 watts with all cores at 5100 MHz. Its a nice, low-cost introduction to the AM5 world. Now if the 7700 would just come down in price . . .

Best of best for rendering is the king cpu consumer

This made a great upgrade for my AM4 PC

Best cpu for the money right now a ryzen equivalent would cost you double right now

This backpack is the best I bought in 2023,

time tested intel cpu at moderate price. Best cooler for these are the Scythe Mugen 5 Rev. B 51.17 CFM CPU Cooler

Best experience buying a CPU from B&H who actually took pre-orders and delivered. Even though there were supply chain issues, they took the time to communicate transparently and that makes all the difference when choosing a supplier.

Best value AMD CPU for gaming (best overall for gaming by far IMO). You won't get hardly any noticeable FPS increase with the more expensive Vermeer chips so I chose this one. If you are doing more than gaming though then they can be very worth it. This 5600x is great and I am very satisfied so far. The stock cooler is pretty much good enough for most things as well but still something to think about upgrading if you are doing CPU intense things with your PC. CPU fan coolers are pretty cheap anyways.10/10 will be using this same CPU for the next person who asks me for help building a gaming/all around rig.
