Is The Ryzen 5 5500 Good For Gaming

The AMD Ryzen 5 5500 3.6 GHz Six-Core AM4 Processor is a stellar performer, effortlessly handling demanding tasks. Stays cool with little effort on my pc end but perfect balance between power and consumption. Got it for about 100, it delivers exceptional value, making it my top choice without breaking the bank. The Ryzen 5 5500 is a game-changer, redefining efficiency and power I am satisfied. (Combined with XFX RX 7800XT)

I wanted the high core count for gaming and streaming in a mainstream socket and had already a bad experience with a Ryzen 9 3900x that died from a month of usage so, to avoid that, I decided to switch to Intel. I also don't care about achieving the highest clock speed so the non overclockable version was fine for me. So far so good, hardware monitor reports idle at 4.6Ghz and turbo up to 4.9Ghz on 4 cores while running warzone at 144fps and streaming on obs at slow preset and resolution 1600x900. Sometimes I get 2 cores at 5Ghz. It gets up to 80C with a 240 radiator cooling it. But thats not as hot as my ryzen used to get. Overall is a good processor. At the time of purchase it was at the same price as a new Ryzen 9 3900x. Is it better than AMD counterpart? For productivity task, no. The lesser core count makes it worse performing (although not bad) at that. For gaming? yes. The higher clock speed will get you higher fps.

I bought this to replace my Ryzen 1700 and the difference is noticeable when gaming. A good buy if you're looking to upgrade a gaming PC.

This motherboard has everything needed to start gaming. It perfect for the Ryzen 5 5600g.

Good board for an AM4 Ryzen CPU.

5 stars.

5 Stars, no need to say anything else.

5 Stars.

Upgrading from a ROG STRIX B450-F gaming board with a new processor and gpu. Ryzen 7 5800X3D and Radeon RX 7700 XT. This board handles my gaming needs fantastically. The fact that it also incldes WiFi 6 and the 4 nvme .m2 PCIe 4.0 raid enclosure. It is worth every little bit of my investment.

The AMD Ryzen 9 5950X an outstanding CPU. It is capable of any task either gaming or video editing. For the price this is the best production CPU I have tested. I highly recommend the Ryzen 9 5950X.
